dead alive identity sometimes seems fleeting, an ever-changing tapestry. but at it's heart is the foundation, the very essence of our being. shed your skin, cast off your chains. feel the sun upon your face for once, and wash away the pain. shed your skin, be who you are. unencumbered by the weight, of hiding every little scar. at times the self seems in transition, a mere projection on a screen. but what happens when you turn the lights on and things are not as they once seemed? who we are is always changing, a never-ending course of growth. but deep inside there is a pillar, deep inside there is a soul.. -- assemblage 23

Extra the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. it is the source of all true art and all science. he to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. - albert einstein
