Fewer Texans." "I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven’t tried that for a while. Maybe this time it’ll work."

I have so much I want to do first."― Stephen Hawking "Cause at the end of the day, honestly, at the end of the day when you’re in your death bed and that’s it, I think it’s the relationships you’ve had and the people that you’ve touched and the people that have touched you that matter."― Julie Benz "Statistics are the triumph of the quantitative method, and the quantitative method is the victory of sterility and death."― Hilaire Belloc
