“The only excuse for God is that he does not exist.” -Stendhal

Fly, fly do not fear
Don’t waste a breath, don’t shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don’t wait for me
Above the universe you’ll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won’t forget

-Celine Dion

Around him, the lament for the dead arose;
for she alone, in that sad place, is at home who,
having given birth to beauty,
has watched that beauty die.

-Gilgamesh

“That’s the definition of Hell.It was written almost 5,000 years ago.  On a clay tablet.  With a freaking stick.

“Who,” the ancient, toga-wearing, sandal-sporting writer wonders, “Who could possibly feel at home in Hell?  Oh, I know.  Somebody who feels like they’re living in it every day.  Someone who has lost a child.”

“She alone, in that sad place, is at home.”

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange 
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now 
From win and lose and still somehow 
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all
I’ve looked at life from both sides now 
From up and down, and still somehow 
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

-Joni Mitchell
