"In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join us from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore; we will be united in our common interest. Perhaps this is fate… today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or from persecution…but from annihilation. We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win today, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday. But, as the day the world declared in one voice ‘we will not go quietly into the night, we will not vanish without a fight, we’re going to live on…we’re going to survive.’ Today we celebrate our Independence Day."    -- Independence Day

 

"You should try to look at him from the inside out....you might actually see someone you like." -- Soo Rae Han 

 

It’s not the experience of today that drives men mad.  It's the remorse or bitterness for something that happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Truth lies beyond the reach of justice and is hard to find unless one is gifted with supreme wisdom.

"I hold this around my neck and I don’t know why, I’ve built my life on believing that science can show me the way. I have this charm of something whose existence I can’t prove. I don’t know what I believe anymore…I don’t know. How can you be so stable; what are your beliefs?"

Tupac

Today is filled with anger, fueled with hidden hate.
Scared of being outcast, afraid of a common fate. 
Today is built on tragedies no one wants to face.
Nightmares to humanity and the morally disgraced.
Tonight is filled with rage, violence in the air.
Children bred with ruthlessness cause no one at home cares. 
Tonight I lay my head down but the pressure never stops,
knowing that my sanity is content when I’m dropped.
But tomorrow I see change, a chance to build a new,
built with spirit decent in heart and ideas based on truth.
Tomorrow I wake with a second wind and strength because of pride.
I know I fought with all my heart to keep the dream alive.

-- Tupac Shakur
