I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss. i see the lives for which i lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. i see that i hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. it is a far, far better thing that i do, than i have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that i go to than i have ever known.

I See A Beautiful City And A

Charles Dickens

I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss. i see the lives for which i lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. i see that i hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. it is a far, far better thing that i do, than i have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that i go to than i have ever known.

More From Charles Dickens

We all know of course, that we should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fiddle around in any way with electrical equipment. never.

I see that i hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. i see her, an old woman, weeping for me on the anniversary of this day. i see her and her husband, their course done, lying side by side in their last earthly bed, and i know that each was not more honoured and held sacred in the other's soul, than i was in the souls of both.

What have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me? what have they done to me?

Honey, there’s not a single woman in this town who doesn’t know about sanctuary, land of the bodacious gods. heck, me and my girlfriends want to get together and vote mama lo an award for her policy against hiring any man not seriously buff…not that you’re not buff. you can certainly hold your own against the sanctuary hotties. but face it, haven’t you ever noticed that this place is like hooters for women? (sunshine) no, i can honestly say that i’ve never noticed how good-looking the men at sanctuary are. nor have i ever cared. (talon)

I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long years to come, i see the evil of this time and of the previous time of which this is the natural birth, gradually making expiation for itself and wearing out.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.
