Dark, Light, and In Between

Come and see. There is a quote for everyone. Dark quotes, light qoutes, and some that are in between.

Ok poets. I have tried to find something for everyone. Let these words inspire you.

Please do your best.

Light -

A fool and his money are soon elected. ~ Will Rogers

Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for. ~ Will Rogers

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

The devil's voice is sweet to hear. ~ Stephen King

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live. ~ Stephen King

In Between -

It does not require many words to speak the truth. ~ Chief Joseph

If there is no God, everything is permitted. ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky

Now for the Rules

    'I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.' reminds me of a book i'm reading at the moment, Time out of Joint, by Philip K. Dick.
    I like.

    I think I know which quote I'll choose. Maybe. I'll have to think about it.


    What happened to poor old Persephone? XD

      Persepone is just on hold for a bit. AP robbed me of my last 11 lines and I am still pissed off about it.
