Quote for the day: Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved but have never been able to reach. The world you’ve dreamed of can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours. Ayn Rand
