Life is a storm. One minute you will bathe under the sun and the next you will be shattered upon the rocks. That's when you shout, Do your worst, for I will do mine! and you will be remembered forever.
Alexandre Dumas
Edmond Dantes: I don't believe in God. Abbe Faria: That doesn't matter, He believes in you.
