Quantum (Uni)Verse #21
I loved you
and
you love me
and we lived happily ever after
for a while
until we
discovered
that love was fairy tale stuff
and fairy tales
are
never enough
and
you love me
and we lived happily ever after
for a while
until we
discovered
that love was fairy tale stuff
and fairy tales
are
never enough

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
