Человек не может не размышлять и не хотеть свершить что-нибудь действительно важное на своем веку. Потому что это в его природе. Еще древние говорили: "Ad cogitandum et agendum homo natus est",- что значит: для мысли и действия рожден человек... В последнее время в моей голове стало появляться очень много мыслей, причем, не побоюсь этого определения, довольно разумных. И не хочется терять их полностью. Тут, я уверена, мои мысли сохранятся надолго, ведь рукописи не горят :)
