Favorite Quote:
&quot;I feel that a hero is somebody who will stand up for their values and what they believe in and that can take any form. People that have values and have thought them through rather than those who just do what they&rsquo;re told.&quot;-Skandar Keynes<br /> <br /> &quot;When it&rsquo;

Oh, please, feet, don't fail me now
I've still got a few miles to go now
I'll walk from dawn till sunset
Never stopping
Never pausing

Oh, please, heart, don't fail me now
I've still got a few years to go now
I'll live from birth to death
Never stopping
Never pausing
