“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the shrill tinsel gaiety of "parties" with no purpose, despite the false grinning faces we all wear.

Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship - but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering.” - Sylvia Plath

"[The Marines] have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's." -Harry S Truman Spoiler: Full quote "I read with a lot of interest your letter in regard to the Marine Corps.
