It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Lady Limelight is a jealous lady. She wants all of your attention. You don't have any time to think of anything else but Lady Limelight, because pretty soon that light will be shinning on somebody else. So you better do it while you can.
Buck Owens, American Musician (1929-2006)
