Faith which does not doubt is dead faith. -Miguel de Unamuno, philosopher and writer (1864-1936)

"I stand upon some dreadful brink, and it is utterly dark in the abyss before my feet, but whether there is any light behind me I cannot tell.  For I cannot turn yet.  I wait for some stroke of doom."

(Tolkien {Return of the King, 240})

"This is how it works: you're young until you're not.  You love until you don't.  You try until you can't.  You laugh until you cry.  You cry until you laugh.  And everyone must breath 'til their dying breath."

--Regina Spektor, "On the Radio."

"And love, just like blood, will always stain"

--"Fell Down the Stairs," performed by Tilly and the Wall
