'All Over Me' is a song that I really got fired up the first time I heard it: it just really moved and it really had a lot of energy.

For of the soule the bodie forme doth take; For the soule is forme, and doth the bodie make.

We have learned how to do a lot of things. We must try to relearn why.

Memorials become relics if they do not stir our modern conscience.
