| bb7d202 | Every generation wants to be the last. Every generation hates the next trend in music they can't understand. We hate to give up those reins of our culture.

| 24f73f9 | He might dance down the street on his way to work, gaze into the eyes of a complete stranger and speak of love at first sight, or defend an apparently absurd idea. Warriors of light allow themselves days like these. He is not afraid to weep over ancient sorrows or feel joy at new discoveries. When he feels that the moment has arrived, he drops everything and goes off on some long-dreamed-of adventure. When he realises that he can do no more.. | Paulo Coelho | ||
