"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. But if you can overcome the sacrifice and make it your own, you will gain an irreplaceable Fullmetal heart."- Edward Elric

Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you&#039;re really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I&#039;ve got a few missing. It&#039;s ok though, because I&#039;ve got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who&#039;s an 8-color type.. I&#039;m like, hey girl, magenta! and she&#039;s like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I&#039;m like, no - I want magenta! <br /> John Mayer
