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. |

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

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.-- John Quincy Adams

Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts. It's what you do with what you have left. ~Hubert Humphrey
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. ~Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan, 1893 In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. ~Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays |
