The Lighter Side

I have a bit of free time so I was checking out some forums (The internet, optimized for killing time) and I found a post by a guildmate Awenita that was really amazing, with some added words by Thalleia.  I figured I would place them here with a few kittens.




Hope

I know I've been needing some hope...so I thought I'd share some quotes I found on hope. Feel free to share yours!

Once you choose hope, anything's possible. ~Christopher Reeve

But only hope.
