Could hell be a place where there is no self-respect? A place where people have no pride in their own existence or behavior, and thus would have none for anyone or anything else?
Neil Peart
Image
Throw off those chains of reason and your prison disappears.
Neil Peart
Image
I'm less comfortable in a gregarious social situation, and you can be introverted and still share everything. It just means that you're guarded.
Neil Peart
Image
Everything in moderation, with occasional excess.

Half the world hates What half the world does every day Half the world waits While half gets on with it anyway
