"Men and women who know the brutal reality of war, who know that war strips people of their very humanity, must unite in a new global partnership for peace."

I hope it will last."― Oscar Wilde "In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep; for we are dying the darkness and we know no death."― Thomas Wolfe "I would hope everyone would be a feminist."― Mia Wasikowska
