"The thing people forget is how good it can feel when you finally set secrets free. Whether good or bad, at least they're out in the open, like it or not. And once your secrets are out in the open, you don't have to hide behind them anymore. The problem with secrets is even when you think you're in control, you're not."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T14:00:00.001+08:00

"One thing is certain, whatever it is we're trying to hide; we're never ready for that moment when the truth gets naked. That's the problem with secrets – like misery, they love company. They pile up and up until you don't have room for anything else, until you're so full of secrets you feel like you're going to burst."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T13:00:00.001+08:00

"At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important, happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T12:00:00.001+08:00

"Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know, maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T11:00:00.001+08:00

"If life's so hard already, why do we bring more trouble down on ourselves? What's up with the need to hit the self-destruct button?"

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T10:00:00.001+08:00

"The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day'. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T09:00:00.002+08:00

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. “Never leave that till tomorrow,” he said, “Which you can do today.” This is the man who discovered electricity. You’d think more of us would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure. Fear of pain. Fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you make a mistake you can’t undo? Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true: that by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it, it can feel like we're carrying around a giant tumor. And you thought I was speaking metaphorically."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

2009-07-29T08:00:00.002+08:00

"Responsibility, it really does suck... Responsibility doesn't go away. It can't be avoided. Either someone makes us face it or we suffer the consequences. And still adulthood has it perks. I mean the shoes, the sex, the no parents anywhere telling you what to do. That's, pretty damn good."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T07:00:00.001+08:00

"Adulthood is responsibility. Responsibility, it really does suck. Really, really sucks... The scariest part about responsibility? When you screw up and let it slip right through your fingers."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T06:00:00.001+08:00

"I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you've crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don't know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. And as for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something you have to define for yourself."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T05:00:00.001+08:00

"Intimacy is a four syllable word for "Here is my heart and soul, please grind them into hamburger, and enjoy." It's both desired, and feared. Difficult to live with, and impossible to live without. Intimacy also comes attached to the three R's... relatives, romance, and roommates. There are some things you can't escape. And other things you just don't want to know."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T04:00:00.002+08:00

"It's not about the race at all. There are no winners or losers. Victories are counted by the number of lives saved. And once in a while, if you're smart, the life you save could be your own."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T03:00:00.001+08:00

"At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out; they fence you in. Life is messy, that's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here's what I know, If you're willing to take a chance, the view from the other side is spectacular."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T02:00:00.001+08:00

"It's all about lines. The finish line at the end of residency, waiting in line for a chance at the operating table, and then there’s the most important line, the line separating you from the people you work with. It doesn’t help to get too familiar, to make friends. You need boundaries, between you and the rest of the world. Other people are far too messy. It’s all about lines. Drawing lines in the sand and praying like hell no one crosses them."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
----------

2009-07-29T01:00:00.001+08:00

"There comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field."

Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

"If you can fake sincerity, you can fake pretty much anything."

Dr. Gregory House, House MD
----------

2009-07-28T22:00:00.001+08:00

"The weird thing about telling someone they're dying is it tends to focus their priorities. You find out what matters to them. What they're willing to die for. What they're willing to lie for."

Dr. Gregory House, House MD
----------

2009-07-28T21:00:00.001+08:00

"It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what."

2009-07-27T20:00:00.001+08:00

"Love, like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive."

The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom
----------

2009-07-27T19:00:00.002+08:00

"People say they "find" love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a "certain" love."

The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom
----------

Ruby, The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom
----------

2009-07-27T16:00:00.003+08:00

----------

2009-07-27T11:00:00.004+08:00

Pupils dilate, arteries constrict, core temperature rises, heart races, blood pressure skyrockets, respiration becomes rapid and shallow, the brain fires bursts of electrical impulses from nowhere to nowhere, and secretions spit out of every gland, and the muscles tense and spasm like you're lifting three times your body weight. It's violent, it's ugly and it's messy, and if God hadn't made it unbelievably fun, the human race would have died out eons ago."

Have you ever noticed that the more special you treat someone, the more that someone takes you for granted?
It's like they think you won't ever change... Same as showing other people that you are strong... They feel that it's okay to hurt you once in a while...
----------

2008-05-17T20:53:00.002+08:00

I don't believe that true love means letting go. Because true love means loving more than enough... that you would never think of leaving.

2008-01-18T03:26:00.002+08:00

"Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds."

----------

2007-12-24T21:15:00.002+08:00

Probably the reason we all go so haywire at Christmas time with the endless unrestrained and often silly buying of gifts is that we don't quite know how to put our love into words.

Since, I dont have gifts for all of you.

I'll put it into words: I LOVE YOU ALL, my Friends!

Happy Holidays!Ü

Finite Simple Group (of Order Two)
A Klein Four original by M. Salomone

The path of love is never smooth
But mine's continuous for you
You're the upper bound in the chains of my heart
You're my Axiom of Choice, you know it's true

But lately our relation's not so well-defined
And I just can't function without you
I'll prove my proposition and I'm sure you'll find
We're a finite simple group of order two

I'm losing my identity
I'm getting tensor every day
And without loss of generality
I will assume that you feel the same way

Since every time I see you, you just quotient out
The faithful image that I map into
But when we're one-to-one you'll see what I'm about
'Cause we're a finite simple group of order two

Our equivalence was stable,
A principal love bundle sitting deep inside
But then you drove a wedge between our two-forms
Now everything is so complexified

When we first met, we simply connected
My heart was open but too dense
Our system was already directed
To have a finite limit, in some sense

I'm living in the kernel of a rank-one map
From my domain, its image looks so blue,
'Cause all I see are zeroes, it's a cruel trap
But we're a finite simple group of order two

I'm not the smoothest operator in my class,
But we're a mirror pair, me and you,
So let's apply forgetful functors to the past
And be a finite simple group, a finite simple group,
Let's be a finite simple group of order two
(Oughter: "Why not three?")

I've proved my proposition now, as you can see,
So let's both be associative and free
And by corollary, this shows you and I to be
Purely inseparable. Q. E. D.
