We learn from history that we learn nothing from history
-GB Shaw
"Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind." O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" "The course of true love never did run smooth." Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds." "It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for what you are not." "If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
... -Romeo and Juliet

Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free.
- Allan Moore

Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici (By the power of truth I, while living, have conquered the universe)
- Faust

"Conceal me what I am, and be my aid
For such disguise as haply shall become
The form of my intent."
-Twelfth Night 1.2.53-55


There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft....When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness

At times I also want to quit
I am sick and tired of all this
I try to hold back my tears and sit
silently trying to remember the times of bliss
but it is so hard & I hate myself for it
No one understands and no one really cares
I want to end it
finish it once and for all
because this life is like several terrible nightmares
Its been enough now I cannot crawl
& try to reach the deadline which is nowhere near

Its a long race & my legs are bleeding
I may fall down and never get up I fear
She - the unfaithfulness is feeding
eating my flesh, my soul
Drowning me in the burden of things
over which I have no control
I am no fairy I have no wings
why does she expect so much from me
I am just what I am
Why does'nt she let it be...


The author's comments:
Well surely I am not a very good poet (or at least that is what I think) but I really like this poem. I want honest opinion about this one.
