Reflection makes men cowards. – William Hazlitt

Im in a period of growth and expansion. Im taking long, hard looks at the world and whats happening in it, analyzing and thinking. Im trying to become acquainted with the universe — with the part of it I occupy — and trying to settle, for myself, what my relationship with it is. – Gene Roddenberry
