Insanity
Is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.

There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it

is the darkness that clouds the true feelings of the heart

Let us eat and drink, you say, for tomorrow we die.

And like the passing of the Sun to the Moon, so shall a new day come.
