Virgo

as someone else once put it, I 'see the world in widescreen'
meaning- melodrama
intense, extreme, passionate, independent, a princess, decadent, live like i'm going to die tomorrow
I talk big, think big, and I do big- don't ever doubt it

favorite quotes, yes so cheesy, but. . .
"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail"

" I know what I must do, it's just that... I'm afraid to do it"
"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."

"It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

"It is in Men that we must place our hope."
"Men? Men are weak."

"We don't choose the subject, the subject chooses us"

"I went to Israel looking for war. I went to India looking for myself. I found the war I was looking for. It's inside each and every one of us."

"I feel . . . that something's going to give

" History is about to crack wide open. Millennium approaches."

"Do the thing you are most afraid of and find the courage after"

"I have been blessed with remarkable comrades and collaborators: Together we organize the world for ourselves, or at least we organize our understanding of it; we reflect it, refract it, criticize it, grieve over its savagery and help each other to discern, amidst the gathering dark, paths of resistance, pockets of peace and places from whence hope may be plausibly expected. Marx was right: The smallest indivisible human unit is two people, not one; one is a fiction. From such nets of souls societies, the social world, human life springs. And also plays."

I want a mandelbrot fractal tattoo, just the three black small heart shapes outlined in what looks like snowflakes. And the Golden Ratio

the leader who can end the eternal human cycle of
prejudice, propoganda, bloodshed, and then erasing of
historical memory

someone who isn't overwhelmed by me or scared by me
