Evil is like a shadow; it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light.  You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance.  In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it. ~ Shakti Gawain

Nostalgia is an emotional dead end, a self-indulgent yearning for something that can never be recovered. ~ Anthony De Curtis (from Rolling Stone Magazine, 02 September 1999)
