While love ceaselessly strives toward that which lies at the hiddenmost center, hatred only perceives the topmost surface. . .
There are two types of people: One strives to control his environment, the other strives not to let his environment control him. I like to control my environment, because I feel if I have my physical space in order, then I'm free to dream.
