"We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
- Chuck Palahniuk |

Desiderata
by Max Ehrmann Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. |
Phenomenal Woman - Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. |

The first time I was inside a woman
I was confused. I didn't recognize her, or myself. I thought I was swimming, but in air. Maybe flying, underwater. There are secrets only the body yields, like vibration, and kissing, a happy accident between two women who have already exhausted all words. --This Is What Happened In Our Other Life, Achy Obejas |
“they say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself”

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live! -----Bob Marley

"Get dirty. Get fucking filthy. Get poor.
Get off your ass. Get desperate. Get dangerous. Get vilified. Get vile. Get romantic. Get pro-active. Get started. Get your own life. Get doing something. anything. Because before you know it you're 40 with kids, a mortgage, and responsibilities that cause your fun to come second. So before cancer , before children, before 50 hour work weeks, before back and knee problems, before school loans, before you lose your sense of humor... Fight. Fight and fuck, and run and smile. Smile because the older you get, the less you will. So yes, quit being such a goddamn pussy ... because bitching and whining and worry never made anything better." dunno who wrote this ... but i think it's brilliant. |
Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfil themselves.

Quote:
i live by those words! |
"i love you ... more than all you know. i love you more than children, more than fields i've planted with my hands. i love you more than morning prayers or peace or food to eat. i love you more than sunlight, more than flesh or joy, or one more day. i love you more than god."
- from Robin and Marian, 1976 |
Invictus
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. |
From Will and Grace ala Karen Walker

Dont shit in my litter box.
Mr Smitty the one eyed rocking on limping kitty for those who dont know, this is an ongoing "quote" parade that I have been subjecting the other sites to. Many seem to like it. Mr Smitty says he would like to feel welcomed here too. His words have deep meaning if you just think about them. That, or his catnip is getting to me too.... |
