When I was green in judgment, cold in blood,

"Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone"? One thing I've discovered is that I love my job more than I thought I did, and I love my wife even more!

How it could come to pass I do not know, but I remember it clearly. The dream embraced thousands of years and left in me only a sense of the whole.

They learnt to lie, grew fond of lying, and discovered the charm of falsehood.

 
Fyodor Dostoevsky
