I watch you soar above me And I long to go to where you are But I have no wings of my own So here I stay looking up at you Loving you from where I stand As you soar through...

"Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost." - Betty Smith (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn)

&quot;Un ange frappe a ma porte<br /> Est-ce que je le laisse entrer<br /> Ce n&#039;est pas toujours ma faute<br /> Si les choses sont cass&eacute;es<br /> Le diable frappe a ma porte<br /> Il demande a me parler<br /> Il y a en moi toujours l&#039;autre<br /> Attir&eacute; par le danger&quot;
