- Easy or Hard
It's easier to be angry. It's easier to hold grudges. It's easier to be faithless. It's easier to be pessimistic. It's easier to be lazy. It's easier to be fat. It's easier to externalize your failures. Why take accountability for your actions and emotions when you can easily dismiss that accountability? Sure it's easier, but I won't affirm your delusion. Growth is not attained through that which is easy. Growth is attained by pushing yourself to do that which is hard.

- Mother Nature
Mother Nature is a serial killer. No one's better, or more creative. Like all serial killers she can't help the urge to want to get caught. What good are all those brilliant crimes if no one takes the credit? So she leaves crumbs. Now the hard part, why you spend a decade in school, is seeing the crumbs. But the clue's there. Sometimes the thing you thought was the most brutal aspect of the virus turns out to be the chink in its armor, and she loves disguising her weaknesses as strengths.

- Jorg - Silence
I'll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It's the silence that scares me. It's the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.
