Quote of the Week
There is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.

I need my love to be here.
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there.
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know [...:]

Tobacco kiosk
by Fernando Pessoa ( Portuguese poet, 1888-1935 )
I am nothing
I shall always be nothing
I cannot wish to be anything.
