Invictus<br /> Out of the night that covers me, <br /> Black as the Pit from pole to pole, <br /> I thank whatever gods may be <br /> For my unconquerable soul. <br /> <br /> In the fell clutch of circumstance <br /> I have not winced nor cried aloud. <br /> Under the bludgeonings of chance <br /> My head is bloody, but unbowed. <br /> <br /> Beyond this place of wrath and tears <br /> Looms but the Horror of the shade, <br /> And yet the menace of the years <br /> Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. <br /> <br /> It matters not how strait the gate, <br /> How charged with punishments the scroll. <br /> I am the master of my fate: <br /> I am the captain of my soul.<br /> <br /> William Ernest Henley

The voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because of the thought that everything may be done better and again. --John Green, The Fault in Our Stars.
