Why may we not be in the universe, as our dogs and cats are in our drawingrooms and libraries? William James
Evil itself may be relentless. I will grant you that, but love is relentless too. Friendship is a relentless force. Family is a relentless force. Faith is relentless force. The human spirit is relentless, and the human heart outlasts - and can defeat - even the most relentless force of all, which is time. Dean Koontz
