The history of civilization is the story of man's emancipation from a lot that was harsh, brutish, and short. Every step of that upward climb to a sophisticated way fo life has been paralleled by a corresponding advance in the art of perfumery.
--Eric Maple
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
