Behind every beautiful thing...

...there's been some kind of pain."

-Bob Dylan, Not Yet Dark

"Roses may say 'I love you', but the cactus says 'f*ck  off'."
-Jarrod Kintz, Seriously Delirious, But Not All Serious

"I've learned the difference between a cactus and a caucus.  On a cactus, the pricks are on the outside."

-Morris K. Udall (American congressman)

"The pain passes, but the beauty remains."
-Pierre Auguste Renoir
