"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

-Edgar Allen Poe

An exceprt from the movie 12 Monkeys...

It's a condition of "mental divergence". I find myself on another planet, Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though it's a totally convincing reality in every way...I can feel, breathe, hear...nevertheless, Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?

-L.J. Washington

Just Breathe

Nina says...


Oh life's extremes... You can be free one moment, only to find yourself a slave the next.

But there is something masochistically healing in the sound of your shackles as you force yourself to go on. Survive the tough times, see what you're made of, kid.

But you have to make sure you have a steady war drum. Something you can march to, a rhythm you can sync your heart with.


... I always listen to what Johnny has to say. Why do I fear God? Because the man in black told me to.
