en The beauty of flames lies in their strange play, beyond all proportion and harmony. Their diaphanous flare symbolizes at once grace and tragedy, innocence and despair, sadness and voluptuousness. The burning transcendence has something of the lightness of great purifications. I wish the fiery transcendence would carry me up and throw me into a sea of flames, where, consumed by their delicate and insidious tongues, I would die an ecstatic death.

Do only butterflies die in flames? What about those devoured by the flames within them?
  Emile M. Cioran

Someone may tell me they drink six cans of regular soda every day. When they find out there are about nine teaspoons of sugar in one can, it puts things in perspective. Then I work with the person to cut back to three cans a day, then to two and so on, and to start replacing some of the soda with healthier options.

en I smelled something, came outside, then the flames just shot out. The flames just leapt out. These houses are wood, so they're going to burn.
