In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard among the guns below.

No matter your position or place in life, it is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away.
We all love people who give credit to others for their success. Companies would probably do better with CEOs who didn't blow their own horn and ask for ridiculous salaries and new yachts every year.
The heart of a woman who loves will forgive many blows.
Anyone with a gun can go out and commit an act of terrorism, even without a political affiliation.
I don't know where the characters are going to go or what's going to happen. I know that something inevitable will happen. I know that they want certain things and they're in a certain room and they smell like this and they look like that. More often than not, an entropy creeps in that strangles me, and then the inevitable happens. I don't know if I have the ability to write an ending like My Fair Lady's, when everyone gets what they want after a few minor conflicts. If I tried to write that it would just be false. Or I'd have someone enter with a machine gun.
When the spirit shines, even foggy skies make pleasant light.
If you can fly, don't stop at the sky, 'cause there's footprints on the moon!
Let the sky fall, when it crumbles - We will stand tall - Face it all together
Anyone who sees and paints a sky green and fields blue ought to be sterilized.
In this sleepless night, as the darkness advances, look up at the sky and somehow remember that somewhere in this wide world, there are always people who love you, and people who need you. Because every person can't go on living alone.
