More inspirational words for the week...

 

"In softest voice there's an acid tongue
In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young
In the shakiest will there's a core of steel
On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel"

"In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak
In the strongest man there's a child so weak
In the whole wide world there's no magic place
So you might as well rise put on your bravest face"

-- Neil Peart

 

...I figure anyone who starts a sci-fi history in the year 2112 would appreciate this:-)
