Love is not a feeling; it is a gift, an act, an ultimate sacrifice. -Me (Em)


I'm holding destiny in my hands-
Joy or sorrow? I've got power
When rapture calls my soul to dance
To weather lifetimes in an hour.
In my arms I cradle a universe
Of sweetest passion spun at midnight-
Deep as the sky, yet shallow as a star,
It dissipates at dawning sunlight.

Ernest Hemingway: I hate it.

Ernest Hemingway: If it's bad, I'll hate it. If it's good, then I'll be envious and hate it even more. You don't want the opinion of another writer.
