\&quot;I\&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can\&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don\&#039;t deserve me at my best.\&quot;<br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe<br /> <br /> Imagination is more important than knowledge...<br /> Albert Einstein
