"Why does everyone settle for stupid boringness and penalize people like us who have passion?" -- Maggie Thrash

Because they're afraid, Sweetie. People want to read books about other people's passion, watch movies about other people's passion, listen to songs about other people's passion, and gossip about other people's passion, but they're terrified of experiencing it themselves: it burns. And because they lack the courage to throw their own hats into the ring, they treat us with cool derision and mockery. Sour grapes.

Hell with them.
