Kevin: There wasn't much left me after that night. But everybody I ever met has a wound one way or another. Thing is, you got to sew up it good and tight. Otherwise it'll just keep opening. And one day you'll bleed to death. edit »
Kevin: The way I see it, the people you care about never die. They just go somewhere else and wait for you. That's about as religious as I get. Better then God deserves from me, considering. edit »
