The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizzare which seems inherent in them.: Jean Cocteau (1889 - 1963), Les Enfants Terribles
It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.: Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
