“Defiance may be the roughest path to beauty but, unfortunately, often it is the only path.”

“I am tired of tears and laughter,And men that laugh and weepOf what may come hereafterFor men that sow to reap:I am weary of days and hours,Blown buds of barren flowers,Desires and dreams and powersAnd everything but sleep.”
