- Risk something or forever sit with your dreams. Herb Brooks

After all, it is called the human race, no?” ― Karl Kristian Flores, Can I Tell You Something?

On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds — justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can’t go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.” ― Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
