Quote by Kelleen Goerlitz

“We don’t care about causing pain to others, don’t even consider it. We don’t ask ourselves if these desires once fulfilled actually filled us at all…I’m not afraid to be a greedy, prideful, lustful, shallow-hearted bastard like the rest of them. I’m scared to death that I’m not like them, that I can’t live with what I’ve done.”

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 7 Give, give and give again, To give without reserve is living. Fall, fall and fall again, To fall without stopping is rising. Break, break and break again, To break without bending is integrity. Lose, lose and lose again, To lose without submitting is victory. Love, love and love again, To love despite being fooled is sanity. Help, help and help again, To help despite being deceived is humanity. To give is to live, that is the civilized normal. Kindness alone sets the human apart from animal.”

“There seem, in fact, to be only two views we can hold about awe. Either it is a mere twist in the human mind, corresponding to nothing objective and serving no biological function, yet showing no tendency to disappear from that mind at its fullest development in poet, philosopher, or saint: or else it is a direct experience of the really supernatural, to which the name Revelation might properly be given.”

“Lovely and Beastly (The Sonnet) Lovely on the outside, beastly on the inside, That is the norm of the modern world. Fancy in appearance, yet lousy in sapience, That's what we call civilized and cultured. We are given a world rooted in shallowness, Which screams selfishness in its every act. Enough with this life of nonexistence, We've spent long enough as empty wolfpack. Let us now build our destiny with our sweat, And devil and deity take the hindmost. We shall soar high by serving on the streets, There is no higher life, no greater post. It's ok that we haven't known true civilization. What's not ok is to pass it on through generation.”

“Human and Love (The Sonnet) The day human and love are the same thing, The day human and harmony are the same thing, The day human and inclusion are the same thing, The day human and acceptance are the same thing, The day human and reason are the same thing, The day human and emotion are the same thing, The day human and duty are the same thing, The day human and dignity are the same thing, The day human and persistence are the same thing, The day human and perseverance are the same thing, The day human and resilience are the same thing, The day human and character are the same thing, The day self and society are the same thing, That day each of us will be a human being.”
