The faith of a caterpillar
That never questions "why".
Behold

Becomes a butterfly."

"If you don't know what you want," the doorman said, "you end up with a lot you don't."  ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 5

At the time, my life just seemed too complete, and maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves.  ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 6

...you're not how much money you've got in the bank.  You're not your job.  You're not your family, and you're not who you tell yourself.... You're not your name.... You're not your problems.... You're not your age.... You are not your hopes.  ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 18

It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel."  - Thomas Paine

"Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched."
