Could it be that I'm the same?
Could it be I'm your mirror,

And I just have to ask, do you know your fate?
Do you know your fate?
Emily Kokal, Jenny Lee Lindberg, Theresa Wayman, Stella Mozgawa, Majesty

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
George Carlin, Napalm & Silly Putty

The other night I was lying in bed, looking up at the stars, and I wondered, “Where the hell is my roof?”
