Each of us is the One, and the One is inside each of us.

the tiniest bit of infinity is still infinite.

He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.

he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire
and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever,
and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream,
until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you.
He loves you and he needs money.
