Random quote of the week/month/whenever i get to updating it: "Like an
unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital
unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes
him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to
confuse the true with the false and the false with the true." - Martin
Luther King Jr.
