Favorite Quote:
"Ichigo, what's the difference between a King and his horse? I don't mean kiddy s*** like 'One's a person and one's an animal' or 'One has two legs and one has four'. If their form, ability, and power were exactly the same, why is it that one becomes the King and controls the battle, while the other becomes the horse and carries the King?! There's only one answer; INSTINCT!" ~ Ichigo's Inner Hollow from the anime/manga 'Bleach' by Tite Kubo

A golden sunrise
A joyous friend
Some twinkling stars
Some helpful smiles
All of these are beautiful
Scan the world with your eyes
And that’s what dictionary calls beauty.
However, look with your hearts
And you’ll see beauty is indefinable.
The glowing moon
The cheerful cries
A few fluffy clouds
A few warm hugs
All of these are beautiful
Even if you see all the sights
You have yet to see all beauty.
If you feel your heart
Then the search for beauty is over.
