wise winning men
The reputation of a Don Juan gives to a man the most dangerous power.

It's got to normally go across organically and make someone feel something, and that's the power of music. Serj Tankian

My personal prayer is: Make me an instrument through which only truth can speak. Peace Pilgrim
