Please Listen to me, don't let go, don't let this desperate moonlight leave me with your empty pillow - promise me the sun will rise again. i too am tired now, embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamless sleep. my head is empty, my toes are warm. I am safe from harm” – flint

For greed express no shame. You own no wealth that will provide salvation from Hell's flames.” -- [x0k]

I was finally able to remove the head and looked squarely into the face of a human being --a human being that I had just killed" -- Dr. Jarrett; ex-abortionist
