Otto von Bismarck
Your days are short here; this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old, good friends. And don't forget when you leave why you came.
Adlai E. Stevenson
We love our fans, so there's nothing we wouldn't do for them, and we go directly to t hem.

Octavia Butler
