I don't have a clue what those are.
The grief I have felt the past few days has been unlike the grief I've felt for any other celebrity. Often times celebrity grief is "so glad for what they put into this world" or "that movie changed my life." And I feel that now. But it's joined by a second grief,…
Some people, when they have taken too much and have been driven beyond the point of endurance, simply crumple and give up. There are others, though they are not many, who will for some reason always be unconquerable. You meet them in time of war and also in time of peace.
