Neil Peart Quotes
Today is different, and tomorrow the same.It's hard to take the world the way that it came.Too many rapids keep us sweeping along.Too many captains keep on steering us wrong.It's hard to take the heat.It's hard to lay blame.To fight the fire, while we're feeding the flames. - Second Nature (1987)
