Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

~R. Frost

Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.”

you're bound to find some way.

Won't you help me, Mr. Jesus,
Won't you tell me if you can,
When you see this world we live in,
Do we still believe in men?

Here in the garden - we know not what we do. Live to lay in pastures of fear. Left to die - guilty of nothing. If we were promised heaven, then why are we in hell?

“Harry Potter is about confronting fears,
finding inner strength and doing what is right
in the face of adversity.
Twilight is about how important it is
to have a boyfriend.”

Frequently attributed to Stephen King,
this is a quote from Andrew Futral who
was quoting Robin M. Browne, at the time.
