How many more gay people does your god have to put on this earth for you to realize that he really does want them here.
If I lay here / If I just lay here / Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

No one knows what it’s like / To feel these feelings / Like I do / And I blame you!

I want that moment where you say to yourself, “Oh, there you are.
Forgive, sounds good / Forget, I’m not sure I could / They say time heals everything / But I’m still waiting.

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.

We are not the product of what is done to us. We are the product of our response to it.

Mendacity. According to the dictionary, mendacity is a word that means deceit, bluffing, sleight of hand, camouflage, concealment, but it comes from a Latin root, mendac, which means to put right. To make amends.
How can mendacity be an attempt to make things right?
Because even in mendacity, and even, perhaps, especially in mendacity, there is a belief that things can be better. Liars are optimists, not pessimists, and want so fervently to believe in their values and their world view that they will lie and deceive to prop things up.
