"Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts." *Henry Rollins*

"Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words." *Edgar Allen Poe*

"Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge." *Lord Byron*

"If you love large, you've got to hurt large. If you've got a lot of light, you've probably got an equal amount of darkness." *Sarah McLachlan*

"Even in the valley of the shadow of death, two and two do not make six." *Leo Tolstoy*

Good luck. I may add more points. I may close early. Please give emotion emotion emotion.

      Hmm. There was only going to be one entry per person, but...okay, IF one of the entries is for the song, then you can enter a second one. Give me a few minutes to revise the contest.
