Literally, this made me want to stand up and cheer. I could not possibly express it better myself.

Good quote, I'll probably end up snagging it. That reminds me, I saw this post glancing at your journal for something else, saw a quote thought to comment it here, and now I'm trying to remember the quote/where I saw it. ::looks through open tabs::

This wasn't it, but I was reminded of Shylock, and I love his speech in The Merchant of Venice, and it seemed right up your alley, so I figured I'd share:

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases,
heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, do we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.

Remember those long threads we used to have? I think I'm having having one by myself. No, don't worry about me, I'm perfectly sane over here! :-D.
