Optimism Quotes

Next time you'll get it.
Next time you'll meet your man.

Copy quote

Copy quote

Mark Twain

Reflections on Religion

... Jealousy,
Turning saints into the sea,
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibI.
But it's just the price I pay,
Destiny is calling me,
Open up my eager eyes,
I'm Mr. Brightside.
