I have a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Cry out loud once. Look at the mirror & shake it off. I've cried like that before & others will have times like that too. Cheer up. You're not alone.
