A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life. L.Mumford Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and persevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable. L. Chesterfield Funny Quote of the Day Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves. Abe Lincoln |
“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
― Neil Gaiman |
“I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.”
― Neil Gaiman |
I am the Master of my Fate. I am the Captain of my Soul.

“She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.”
Toni Morrison quote |
I love this, just about sums it up.....
“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don...'t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” ― Marilyn Monroe |
The faster you are, the slower life goes by.- Unknown
Always keep your ideals high enough that you have to keep stretching to reach them. -Unknown You must decide for yourself how you should live in this world. Like a flower seeking light, we each go where we find our best sustenance. Yet in reaching out - free as we are - we have to be careful not to lose more than can ever be gained. 'Heaven's Edge' by Romesh Gunesekera |
You Will Hear Thunder
by Anna Akhmatova You will hear thunder and remember me, And think: she wanted storms. The rim Of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire. That day in Moscow, it will all come true, when, for the last time, I take my leave, And hasten to the heights that I have longed for, Leaving my shadow still to be with you. |
Sleep

Consciousness shines in various external and internal forms.
There is no existence of objects apart from consciousness. Therefore the world is simply a form of consciousness." - Kalikakrama |
America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still.
e.e. cummings |
Our passions are the true phoenixes; when the old one is burnt out, a new one rises from its ashes. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For passion has come to the verge and leaps headlong to the blind abyss, yet gathers thereby the strength of deeps, and eddies a moment and swirls and sweeps till peril is one with bliss! ~Harriet L. Childe Pemberton In music the passions enjoy themselves. ~Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, 1886 |
We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us
and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders. -Maya Angelou |
Quoting: Frou Frou | The Dumbing Down of Love
“Music is worthless unless it can make a complete stranger break down and cry,”
~ Imogen Heap, Guy Sigsworth, Jon Hassell. *lyrics* Well painted passion You rightly suspect Impersonation The dumbing down of love Jaded in anger Love underwhelms you No box of chocolates Whichever way you fall And if I tell you Lover alone without love What will happen Lover alone without love Will you miss him? Lover alone without--without love No, no I'll get this I want to treat you You're still not famous And you haven't struck it rich Underachieving 'Cause no one's receiving This tunnel vision It's turning out all wrong And if I tell you Lover alone without love What will happen Lover alone without love Will you miss him? Love alone without, without love Music is worthless, unless it can Make a complete stranger Break down and cry And if I tell you Lover alone without love And what will happen Lover alone without love And will you listen Lover alone without, without love Without love Without love |
"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.” Henry Ford

"I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it." ~Alanis Morissette
LYRICS: UNINVITED Like anyone would be I am flattered by your fascination with me Like any hot blooded woman I have simply wanted an object to crave But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Must be strangely exciting To watch the stoic squirm Must be somewhat heartening To watch shepard meet shepard But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight "I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament." ~Alanis Morissette |
Part of the job of being human is to consistently underestimate our effect on other people.- Lucy Grealy
Sometimes the briefest moments capture us, force us to take them in, and demand that we live the rest of our lives in reference to them.- Lucy Grealy Mistakes are inevitable, what separates a person from others is the improvement made after a mistake is realized. -Luzuko Mbane |
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

People should realize women aren't just whores or virgins, I want to see women who are real human beings.
Kate Beckinsale |
When we have peace in our hearts and minds, we draw peace into our lives. When discord and disharmony present themselves, we can stand firm. When we let go of the need to prove ourselves, nothing and no one can disturb the quiet and peace of our minds.
~Iyanla Vanzant We cannot change a pain-filled past. What we can do is change how it affects us. The past has already been written, but we have the power to write the future based on self-support and respect. We can write a future full of strength, peace, wealth, and love. All we have to do is what is right now. ~Iyanla Vanzant |

“As you go through life, you learn many lessons. Unfortunately these lessons only apply to the specific instances in which you learned them. Therefore you can expect to make horrible mistakes no matter how long you live.”
― Jessica Zafra “You know, the thing about life and love is that they are both ever-changing while people seldom are. ” ― Sherrilyn Kenyon “Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.” ― Katherine Mansfield |
Our greatest obligation to our children is to prepare them to understand and to deal effectively with the world in which they will live and not with the world we have known or the world we would prefer to have. - Grayson Kirk

Fear of Failure
Go back a little to leap further. John Clarke It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt Half of the failures in life come from pulling one's horse when he is leaping. Thomas Hood I failed my way to success. Thomas Edison Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt. William Shakespeare Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success. Napoleon Hill |
Fooled
:blueheels:
“I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.” ― Marilyn Monroe |
“Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown again into instant flame by an encounter with another human being.”
― Albert Schweitzer “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” ― Ernest Hemingway “I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.” ― Augusten Burroughs |
"Human Nature is to look at another person as a human until that human disagrees with you too many times in a row."
