Fighting Shoes Two
We cannot fight against collectivism, unless we fight against its moral base: altruism. we cannot fight against altruism, unless we fight against its epistemological base: irrationalism. we cannot fight against anything, unless we fight for something--and what we must fight for is the supremacy of reason and a view of man as a rational being.
Fighting Men Views
I have a fierce will to live. others fight a little, then lose hope. still others - and i am one of those - never give up. we fight and fight and fight. we fight no matter the cost of battle, the losses we take, the improbability of success. we fight to the very end.
Giving Up Fighting Loss
I could fight with the living but i could not fight the dead. if there was some woman in london that maxim loved, someone he wrote to, visited, dined with, slept with, i could fight her. we would stand on common ground. i should not be afraid. anger and jealousy were things that could be conquered. one day the woman would grow old or tired or different, and maxim would not love her anymore. but rebecca would never grow old. rebecca would always be the same. and she and i could not fight. she was to strong for me.
Strong Tired Fighting
Perhaps i will die too, she told herself, and the thought did not seem so terrible to her. if she flung herself from the window, she could put an end to her suffering, and in the years to come the singers would write songs of her grief. her body would lie on the stones below, broken and innocent, shaming all those who had betrayed her. sansa went so far as to cross the bedchamber and throw open the shutters ... but then her courage left her, and she ran back to her bed, sobbing.
Song Lying Grief
All of us--all who knew her--felt so wholesome after we cleaned ourselves on her. we were so beautiful when we stood astride her ugliness. her simplicity decorated us, her guilt sanctified us, her pain made us glow with health, her awkwardness made us think we had a sense of humor. her inarticulateness made us believe we were eloquent. her poverty kept us generous. even her waking dreams we used--to silence our own nightmares.

Be who you want to be - be free in your own skin, be liberated and feel beautiful, and do what you want to do without judgement
Beautiful Judgement Skins
That which reminds us of nature and thus stimulates a feeling for the infinite abundance of life is beautiful. nature is organic,and therefore the highest beauty is forever vegetative; and the same is true for morality and love.
Beautiful Nature Forever
I’ve come to the conclusion that people who wear headphones while they walk, are much happier, more confident, and more beautiful individuals than someone making the solitary drudge to work without acknowledging their own interests and power.
Music Beautiful Confidence
It's always a pleasure to perform for people who love country music. and australians definitely fall into that category. each time i go back, i learn something new about the country, and i get to see some of the most beautiful places on the planet.
