PHILOSOPHY
We should not listen to the words of our enemy, but the silence of our friends. --MLK Jr.

Men are like the stars: some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.

I was born intelligent, education ruined me.

Live each day as if you should die tonight. haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
