Quote of the week: "Talking perceptions, people. Do we really see each other for what we really are, or do we just see what we want to see, the image distorted by our own personal lenses? I lost someone today and the funny thing is, I don't even know who she was." - Jeff Melvoin, Northern Exposure, Lovers and Madmen, 1994
