Because conditions are never exactly right.” ~Andy Andrews

“I think everyone has a certain part of their lives where they truly wish they could freeze time. Whether it was three years ago, today, or still to come, whether it was just a moment, a whole day, or a whole summer. Everyone has a time in their life where they wish everything would just stop. The world would stop turning and people would stop changing because to them, at that time, everything was perfect.”

However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.” ~Stanley Kubrick
