“Love is the weapon which Omnipotence reserved to conquer rebel man when all the rest had failed.

“Most times a person grows up gradually, but I found myself in a hurry... Hoping to find an answer, I uncovered an article about the common goldfish. "Kept in a small bowl, the goldfish will remain small. With more space, the fish will double, triple, or quadruple in size." It occurred to me then that I was intended for larger things. After all, a giant man can't have an ordinary-sized life.” MenPersonsFoundGrowsSpaceAnswersCommonGrowing UpOrdinarySizeFishesGiantsArticlesBowlsGoldfish Author:John August
