“A woman knows very well that, though a wit sends her his poems, praises her judgment, solicits her criticism, and drinks her tea, this by no means signifies that he respects her opinions, admires her understanding, or will refuse, though the rapier is denied him, to run through the body with his pen.”
― Virginia Woolf, Orlando |

Bob Marley on Loving a Woman:
"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before and she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect, you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break, her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more then she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when shes not there." |
Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859 |
I have met brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves vulnerable, that I find moving beyond words.
Gloria Steinem |

I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
~Author Unknown It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit. ~Noël Coward, Blithe Spirit All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression. -Thomas Jefferson |
It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts. ~K.T. Jong |
Pioneers may be picturesque figures, but they are often rather lonely ones.

The Voyage Your dreams are gifts that set you in motion on the tides of time where life is an ocean. And, your sails are filled with the winds of desire to surge thru the waves of mirk and mire. But, when you awaken with your goal at hand, you will see your true destination was the voyage not the land. ~ from Choose Them Wisely |
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. ~Elisabeth Foley

"We drink too much, smoke
too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much. We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living but not a life. We've added years to life, not life to years." - George Carlin 1937-2008 |
Avoid fruit and nuts, you are what you eat.

“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.” -C. S. Lewis

So often the end of a love affair is death by a thousand cuts, so often its survival is life by a thousand stitches. ~Robert Brault
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. ~Wayne W. Dyer Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky. ~Rainer Maria Rilke |
Kids are like farts. You don’t mind your own, but other peoples are unbearable.

Courage takes many forms. There is physical courage, there is moral courage. Then there is a still higher type of courage--the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life;
to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead. Howard Cosell |
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you
as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. John Homer Miller |
"The human spirit is not dead. It lives on in secret. It has come to believe that all compassion, in which ethics must take root, can only attain it's full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind." - Albert Schweitzer

Whenever i feel like exercise i lie down until the feeling passes.

I believe that all of the things you do for other people, you're actually doing for yourself. Life is like a bank account. Randon acts of kindness, telling the truth, being loving, showing up for yourself and others--these are all deposits. Getting fucked up, fucking other people over, letting your ego lead your choices--these are withdrawals. If we give more than we take, we progress. If we take more than we give, we regress.
~K. Cutrone |
A smile is like tight underwear - it makes your cheeks go up. ~Author Unknown
"I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird." — Paul McCartney (wow! Paul turned 70 yesterday...I'm getting old! lol) Man himself cannot express love and humility by external signs, so plainly as does a dog, when with drooping ears, hanging lips, flexuous body, and wagging tail, he meets his beloved master. Charles Darwin |
— CRADLE MY HEART —
Last night, I was lying on the rooftop, thinking of you. I saw a special Star, and summoned her to take you a message. I prostrated myself to the Star and asked her to take my prostration to that Sun of Tabriz. So that with his light, he can turn my dark stones into gold. I opened my chest and showed her my scars, I told her to bring me news of my bloodthirsty Lover. As I waited, I paced back and forth, until the child of my heart became quiet. The child slept, as if I were rocking his cradle. Oh Beloved, give milk to the infant of the heart, and don't hold us from our turning. You have cared for hundreds, don't let it stop with me now. At the end, the town of unity is the place for the heart. Why do you keep this bewildered heart in the town of dissolution? I have gone speechless, but to rid myself of this dry mood, oh Saaqhi, pass the narcissus of the wine. From: Hush Don't Say Anything to God: Passionate Poems of Rumi (Translated by Shahram Shiva) |
Might we not say to the confused voices which sometimes arise from the depths of our being: "Would you be so kind as to speak only four at a time?" ~Madame Swetchine |
A true friend never gets in your way...Unless you happen to be going down.
