Why Dracula may be the best book ever written:
"'I was in doubt, and then everything took a hue of unreality, and I did not know what to trust, even the evidence of my own senses. Not knowing what to trust, I did not know what to do; and so had only to keep on working in what had hitherto been the groove of my life. The groove ceased to avail me, and I mistrusted myself. Doctor, you don't know what it is to doubt everything, even yourself. No, you don't; you couldn't with eyebrows like yours.'"

Let's go Heels.
Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices,
Ringing clear and true,
Singing Carolina's praises,
Shouting N.C.U.,
N-C-U!
Hail to the brightest star of all,
Clear its radiance shine
Carolina, priceless gem,
Receive all praises thine!
Ringing clear and true,
Singing Carolina's praises,
Shouting N.C.U.,
N-C-U!
Hail to the brightest star of all,
Clear its radiance shine
Carolina, priceless gem,
Receive all praises thine!
