&quot;Here&#039;s to waking up Thursday, and thinking it&#039;s Friday.&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s Wednesday, dude.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;And we didn&#039;t think it was very cool, so... we tried to kill him.&quot;<br /> &quot;Dude, they&#039;re cops!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Great minds think alike.&quot;<br /> &quot;And fools seldom differ.&quot;

Thirteen Reasons Why

Once, because you loved me

Twice, because you knew

Three times, for every kiss you gave me

Four, for what you do

Five, because I loved you

Six, not in the way you thought

Seven, because every little thing
you said was torture

Eight, for every hug

Nine, for every tear

Ten, for your half of my heart

Eleven, for it all falling apart

Twelve, because I never agreed
with you when it came to this

Thirteen, because you were my father, and I loved you just the way you were.

&quot;Love is just a word until someone gives it meaning&quot;<br /> &quot;Momento Mori&quot; - &quot;Momento Vivi&quot;<br /> Life isn&#039;t worth living for, unless you have something worth dying for.<br /> Those who criticize our generation forget who raised it.
