• I like money. That is, it is my preferred means of completing pecuniary transactions.

Please allow it to be courageous and pure; please make it capable of surviving the snares of the world.

• I'm a Gemini, so there's two people in me. Straight up.

• To-morrow is that lamp upon the marsh, which a traveller never reacheth;
  To-morrow, the rainbow's cup, coveted prize of ignorance;
  To-morrow, the shifting anchorage, dangerous trust of manners;
  To-morrow, the wrecker's beacon, wily snare of the destroyer.
  Reconcile conviction with delay, and To-morrow is a fatal lie;
  Frighten resolutions into action, To-morrow is a wholesome truth.
