No one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.

I've had the time to go through all the life phases with my parents, from being a bratty teenager, pushing them away, to saying later on, 'Oh my God, I can't believe what you did for me - thank you. I love you so much.

Marcia Cross

Democracy is stronger than terrorism, and we will not cower to the terrorists' campaign of fear.
