Quote by Shon Mehta

“Because I’m bald, right?” She nodded hesitantly, trying not to hurt him, Silence did the rest. Bald = unloved. Simple math. He fought it. Creams. Pills. Surgery. A year of becoming someone else. The hair came back. Self worth didn't. He knocked again. “I'm not bald anymore.” She looked at him, he’d missed the point. “It wasn’t the hair,” she said, gently. She took a step closer. Just the truth standing between them. "I almost loved you," her voice barely a whisper, "But you did not." He didn’t know what cut deeper — Her words, or how she handed them to him, Or the truth that had always been there, Quiet in the corner, waiting to be seen. It wasn’t the baldness. It was the fear that he wasn’t enough. And that’s what she saw, Not a man without hair, but a man without peace. For peace isn’t found in the fixing. It is found in accepting Your flaws, your fears, And in the belief that you are enough. Even if the hair never grows back.”

I see Cain’s magnificent aura as it embraces him like a full-body halo. He is watching the spectacle that is me with detached interest. It’s as if he has truly seen everything there is too see and this is nothing more than a repeat of some long forgotten original episode. He is unafraid. I can feel how calm he is. Before he drops his eyes, surrendering to the dominance of my dragon, he gives me a slightly amused expression and a small nod of encouragement.”

“Su primera manifestación multitudinaria ocurrió en el Estadio Azteca, durante la inauguración del Mundial de 1986. El presidente Miguel de la Madrid tardó en aceptar ayuda internacional para no debilitar la ‘imagen de México’ y fue rebasado por las iniciativas ciudadanas. En el comienzo de el mundial recibió un abucheo sin precedentes. Fue el primer signo de que la mayoría de los habitantes del D.F. no iban a soportar más gobiernos del PRI.”

“Purpose informed every scene on Earth, the planet that produced life, because every detail there had its "benefit," its teleology. True, it did not always--but billions of years of organic labor had accomplished much: thus flowers possessed color for the purpose of attracting insects, and clouds existed for the purpose of dropping rain on pastures and forests. Every form and thing was explained by some benefit...”
