  32. Root. The root of all evil. When I think of this term right now, I actually think of you, my best friend. Your boyfriend just called me crying on the phone and it kinda really broke my heart. So this is for you, my friend, who doesn’t know how to treat a boy right. Girls always complain that boys don’t treat them right. But the girls of this generation – you’re all mean. Put the whip away and put on a smile.

  37. the root of life is everything that you think about in life, it’s the evil in your mind, the love you feel for everyone, the hatred, annoyance, and the apathy for everything that you do and for everything that everyone else does. but it’s such a wonderful thing, this apathy, the love, hatred, annoyance for eeveryone, without it you wouldn’t feel anything. sometimes its better to feel something bad then to not feel at all, although its easier.
