&quot;Yet ah! why should they know their fate?&nbsp;<br /> Since sorrow never comes too late,&nbsp;<br /> And happiness too swiftly flies.&nbsp;<br /> Thought would destroy their paradise.&nbsp;<br /> No more; where ignorance is bliss,&nbsp;<br /> &#039;Tis folly to be wise.&quot; - Thomas Gray, exerpt from &#039;An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard&#039;

&quot;Someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.&quot;<br /> &quot;we often put up walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares to get through&quot;<br /> &ldquo;Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don&#039;t matter, and those who matter don&#039;t mind.&rdquo;
