Seen as I don’t have much I want to blog about I thought I would share some of my favourite quotes:

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
