Quotations
Suffering
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Tegh Bahadur"

-Scriptures "Tirukkural 103:1029-1030"
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...

It's easy to look at people and make quick judgements about them, their present and their pasts, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides.

And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
-Sherrilyn Kenyon
"Acheron"
