Failure: When your best just isn't good enough.

Loneliness: If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, you're not alone. And yet you are alone. So very alone.

-Paul Valery (1871 - 1945)

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory — victory — at all costs, victory, in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.
-Winston Churchill

"I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information.
