Hearts can be well hidden, and you betray them with your tongue.

But if I may make a modification, I would tongue, and replace with eyes.
I just had a really scary experience coming home but I’m too tired to write about it in details so more on that tomorrow >.< …
I envy those who can firmly declare that the universe doesn’t make mistakes, and that everything happens for a reason. I can only cross my fingers and find peace in the mystery of it all, that therein the unknown will always exist a glimmer of hope and reason. Beyond the unimaginable span of space is a silver lining that stretches as far as darkness is limitless.
oh, be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us.”

“All men fear death. It’s a natural fear that consumes us all. We fear death because we feel that we haven’t loved well enough or loved at all, which ultimately are one and the same. However, when you make love with a truly great woman, one that deserves the utmost respect in this world and one that makes you feel truly powerful, that fear of death completely disappears. Because when you are sharing your body and heart with a great woman the world fades away. You two are the only ones in the entire universe. You conquer what most lesser men have never conquered before, you have conquered a great woman’s heart, the most vulnerable thing she can offer to another. Death no longer lingers in the mind. Fear no longer clouds your heart. Only passion for living, and for loving, become your sole reality. This is no easy task for it takes insurmountable courage. But remember this, for that moment when you are making love with a woman of true greatness you will feel immortal.
I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving or not loving well, which is the same thing. And when the man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face like some rhino hunters I know or Belmonte, who is truly brave, it is because they love with sufficient passion to push death out of their minds. Until it returns, as it does to all men. And then you must make really good love again. Think about it.”
Woody Allen
It is absolutely the responsibility of an artist to look into darkness without blinking.
