Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)
"The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not uterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind; a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible."

This is worth repeating.
Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive.(f)
Donald Trump American, Businessman Quotes |
Danse Russe
If I when my wife is sleeping and the baby and Kathleen are sleeping and the sun is a flame-white disc in silken mists above shining trees,— if I in my north room dance naked, grotesquely before my mirror waving my shirt round my head and singing softly to myself: "I am lonely, lonely. I was born to be lonely, I am best so!" If I admire my arms, my face, my shoulders, flanks, buttocks against the yellow drawn shades,— Who shall say I am not the happy genius of my household? William Carlos Williams |
Dalai Lama
From one viewpoint, religion can be seen as sort of a luxury. If you have religion, that’s good, but even without it you can manage and survive - but we can't survive without human affection. While anger and hatred, like compassion and love, are part of our mind, I still believe the dominant forces are compassion and affection. Therefore, usually I refer to these human qualities as spirituality.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.

"There are only really a few stories to tell in the end, and betrayal and the failure of love is one of those good stories to tell."
- Sean Lennon "Betrayal does that -- betrays the betrayer." - Erica Jong |

"Everybody's scared for their ass. There aren't too many people ready to die for racism. They'll kill for racism but they won't die for racism." |
When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.
- Abraham Heschel |
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
-George Bernard Shaw |
“A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.” - William Arthur Ward
"I was slightly brain damaged at birth, and I want people like me to see that they shouldn't let a disability get in the way. I want to raise awareness - I want to turn my disability into ability." - Susan Boyle "Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all -- the apathy of human beings." - Helen Keller |
I respect faith, but doubts are what get you educated.
Wilson Mizner |
Human beings are human beings before they are lawyers, or physicians, or merchants, or manufacturers; and if you make them capable and sensible human beings, they will make themselves capable and sensible lawyers or physicians.
John Stuart Mill |
Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can—and surely will at times—fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.
Joyce Brothers |
The Forgiveness Parade
There's nothing like a full moon reflected in the eyes of a blind man using a telescope to stir a bowl of Russian alphabet soup for the cosmonauts who orbited the shadow of Jupiter and are landing in an ocean of tears shed by cold blooded murderers who miss their mothers convulsively in their prison cells being wheeled caravan-style down Oswald Boulevard as part of the Forgiveness Parade where relatives of the victims stand quietly holding banners like 'Apology Accepted' as the vandals stumble past in shackles followed by the hijackers and the pickpockets who march single file up the fire escape of a skyscraper built by arsonists. Jeffrey McDaniel |
When She Finds Me
when I see her
my head becomes a mess that beautiful laugh that innocent smile the light inside of her eyes makes it all worthwhile she stands by my side I protect her and keep her safe when she says she loves me I can trust that she means it I can see it in her eyes this time it's real when she finally finds me my heart will run to her and her's to mine before we have each other in sight |
Douglas Adams (1952-2001)
He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often dificult to tell which was which.
He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. There is a theory which states that if every anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. |
George Carlin...
I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately. :giggle: When someone says..."A penny for your thoughts..." and you 'put your :2cents: in'....what happens to the other penny? Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted and musicians denoted? :musicnote: I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death. I"m not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose....it'll be much harder to detect! If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. |
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. -- George Washington Carver |
Harriet Tubman...
Every great dream beings with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
I freed a thousand slaves & could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves. I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger. |
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Surely the immuntable laws of the universe can teach more impressive and exalted lessons than the holy books of all the religions on earth. Self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice. |
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.(f)

A different kind of love poem for my baby...
And because love battles not only in its burning agricultures but also in the mouth of men and women, I will finish off by taking the path away to those who between my chest and your fragrance want to interpose their obscure plant. About me, nothing worse they will tell you, my love, than what I told you. I lived in the prairies before I got to know you and I did not wait love but I was laying in wait for and I jumped on the rose. What more can they tell you? I am neither good nor bad but a man, and they will then associate the danger of my life, which you know and which with your passion you shared. And good, this danger is danger of love, of complete love for all life, for all lives, and if this love brings us the death and the prisons, I am sure that your big eyes, as when I kiss them, will then close with pride, into double pride, love, with your pride and my pride. But to my ears they will come before to wear down the tour of the sweet and hard love which binds us, and they will say: “The one you love, is not a woman for you, Why do you love her? I think you could find one more beautiful, more serious, more deep, more other, you understand me, look how she’s light, and what a head she has, and look at how she dresses, and etcetera and etcetera”. And I in these lines say: Like this I want you, love, love, Like this I love you, as you dress and how your hair lifts up and how your mouth smiles, light as the water of the spring upon the pure stones, Like this I love you, beloved. To bread I do not ask to teach me but only not to lack during every day of life. I don’t know anything about light, from where it comes nor where it goes, I only want the light to light up, I do not ask to the night explanations, I wait for it and it envelops me, And so you, bread and light And shadow are. You came to my life with what you were bringing, made of light and bread and shadow I expected you, and Like this I need you, Like this I love you, and to those who want to hear tomorrow that which I will not tell them, let them read it here, and let them back off today because it is early for these arguments. Tomorrow we will only give them a leaf of the tree of our love, a leaf which will fall on the earth like if it had been made by our lips like a kiss which falls from our invincible heights to show the fire and the tenderness of a true love. Pablo Neruda |
The birds are molting. If only man could molt also - his mind once a year its errors, his heart once a year its useless passions. ~James Allen

The ONLY GOOD Snake is a DEAD ONE!!!....my Nanny(Grandma) used to say this all the time when we saw snakes.
She'd been bitten several times over the years by rattle snakes and copper heads, and a moccasin or two. She was a tuff woman. |

Because I am Tactful and Lewd
Because I am Tactful and Lewd by Rick Kempa
In Grandma’s basement, let’s fuck on something that doesn’t squeak, cuz she’s not snoring like she’d snore if she weren’t listening. (Grandpa we won’t think about. even if I hollered when we came instead of biting at the pillow Grandma made, he wouldn’t dismount from his dreams.) When we don’t go to town with them to eat prime rib, I’ll holler until the horses bolt, and the hawks kick the fattest chick out of the nest, and the Brahma bull comes bawling home, and the greyhounds leave the cats alone, and the mice spill out of the loves of hay, and the wind blows and blows and blows us all away. |
Dr. Cornel West:
If you don't muster the courage to think critically about your situation, you'll end up living a life of conformity & complacency. |
I have this theory that chocolate slows down the ageing process... it may not be true, but do i dare take that chance.

I bet you can squeal like a pig. Weeeeeeee!
