Courage must come from the soul within,The man must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad.You were born with all that the great have had,With your equipment they all began,Get hold of yourself and say: I can.(Recited by Dr. George Washington Carver during his commencement address at Selma University, Selma Alabama on May 27, 1942)

Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again. Any devil can love, whom he himself sees as, a good person who has treated him well, but to love also the polar opposite is what separates love from fickle emotions.

Criss Jami

I was a senior in high school when I decided I wanted to work on ants as a career. I just fell in love with them, and have never regretted it.
