It merely adds the torment of having done nothing, when the time comes when it really doesn't matter if you've done anything or not.

• We are all part of the life cycle. Like a seed we are born, we sprout, we grow, we mature and decay, making room for future generations who, like seedlings, are reborn through us.

It’s actually thinly masked fear of losing control and certainty, a mirror of an inner disquiet, a warning signal that deep down we do not really trust God at all.

• Ric Flair, you can tell all these people that I'm full of it for calling myself the Legend Killer?

This generation is gonna remember Ric Flair for kissing Triple H's ass!

• Since [narcissists] deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.
