And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
Before the second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you got, you can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Walk on
Home, hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home, I can't say where it is but I know I'm going
Home, that's where the heart is
And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
All that you fashion, all that you make
All that you build, all that you break
All that you measure, all that you feel
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason, all that you care
It's only time and I'll never fill up all my mind
All that you sense, all that you scheme

gone with the wind
60 years before i was born,this movie was shown.when i was 14,i read the book for the first time,and hardly understood the meaning of every words.just know a woman stay between two men,and did not know who she really love till the end.her strong will impressed me so much that the thought which woman must have her power to survive in this world still work on me. maybe there is no right or wrong in this wild world,just be a survivor.
the actress is an angel,she is sooooo beautiful and graceful.
What I have Lived For
Bertrand Russell
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions,like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy --ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness -- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what --at last -- I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux.A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness,poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be.I long to alleviate the evil, but I can't , and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live itagain if the chance were offered me.
