This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me - Walt Whitman

What doesn’t kill you leaves scars, ruins your lungs, dries out all your tears, leaves you lying awake at 4 in the morning
wishing you weren’t alive.

Do anything, but let it produce joy.

Yes, Mexico must be thoroughly chastised! Let our arms now be carried with a spirit which shall teach the world that, while we are not forward for a quarrel, American knows how to crush, as well as expand!
