…life Isn’t A Puzzle To Be Solved. It’s An Adventure To Be Savored. Let Every Challenge Be A New Mountain To Climb, Not An Obstacle To Get In Your Way And Stop You. Yeah, It’ll Be Hard, But Once You Reach The Summit Of It, You’ll Be Able To See The World For What It Really Is. And At The Top, It Never Seems To Have Been As Difficult A Feat To Climb There As You First Made It Out To Be. Most Of All, You’ll Know That You Beat That Mountain, And That You Rule It. It Does Not Rule You.

Acheron Always Says That Our Scars Are There To Remind Us Of Out Pasts, Of Where We've Been And What We've Gone Through. But That Pain Doesn't Have To Drive Or Determine Our Future. We Can Rise About It If We Let Ourselves. It's Not Easy, But Nothing In Life Ever Is." -sundown

Oh, Pooh, You’re Just Like Akri. No, Simmi, Don’t Be Breathing Fire Around The Flammable Objects Or Small Children. Except For That Black Plastic Card That’s Not Really Plastic.

You Looking Kind Of Peaked Or Piqued Or…? Oh, Heck, The Simi Can Never Keep Those Straight. (simi)

Why Are You Doing This? (rafael) Because Life’s Too Short To Spend It Fighting When You Could Be Holding The One You Love. And Love’s Too Rare To Squander It With Petty Concerns.
