““No matter how I want things to stay the same, no matter how discomforting change can be, I am stuck with the certainty that all molecules vibrate; all things are in constant motion; and change will happen.

Change is constant; I am not the same person today as the person who put his head down on the pillow last night. Iron Mask””
