"Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness." - Robertson Davies

I pulled that little tid-bit from google quotes on my homepage, one of the best ones I've read so far. Some people say or write things that completely blow my mind. My mind has been blown. It's as though it's something that's been waiting to be said for millions of years, and 50 or so years after it's said, it's put out there, blowing peoples minds. Am I not making sense? That's because my mind is so blown, I can barely speak. Barely...
