"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you."

-- Friedrich Nietzsche

"Waking up this morning, I smile,

Twenty four brand new hours are before me

I vow to live fully in each moment

And to look at all beings with eyes of compassion."

--Thich Nhat Hanh, "Earth Prayers"
