Beauty comes from the inside. Your naked face, gray hairs and softer body are beautiful just exactly the way they are because they tell the story of the life You've lived. Your laughter, struggles, courage and determination up until this point all combine to make a powerful source of energy within You that illuminates Your face so that the world can see the remarkable story painted there.

~From "Queen Of Your Own Life" by Kathy Kinney & Cindy Ratzlaff

"If you want to make an audience laugh, you dress a man up like an old lady and push her down the stairs. If you want to make comedy writers laugh, you push an actual old lady down the stairs." ~ Tina Fey

People love to talk but hate to listen. Listening is not merely not talking, though even that is beyond most of our powers; it means taking a vigorous, human interest in what is being told us. You can listen like a blank wall or like a splendid auditorium where every sound comes back fuller and richer.
- Alice Duer Miller

“Nothing is more practical than finding your God, that is, than falling in a love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.” - Pedro Arrupe

"I’m sorry you fell in love with a serial killer, alright. But honestly, who hasn’t?"

Arlene to Tara - True Blood.

Jesse · 08-07-2010, 09:27 PM

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen

"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby." ~Langston Hughes

"For the man sound in body and serene of mind there is no such thing as bad weather; every day has its beauty, and storms which whip the blood do but make it pulse more vigorously." ~George Gissing, "Winter," The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft, 1903

JakeTulane · 08-08-2010, 05:32 AM

"The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency." ~Susan Allen Toth, England For All Seasons

"Horses were never wrong. They always did what they did for a reason, and it was up to you to figure it out."

"It ain't possible to live unless you're crossing somebody's line."

-Lafayette, True Blood

Fancy · 08-08-2010, 12:20 PM

There's a storm-tossed ship tonight out on the water
There's a soul that sails alone out on the blue
There's a dreamer with her eye upon the heavens
They're all looking for a way to make it through

You can trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
You can trust the sun to shine upon the land
You take the little that you know and you do the best you can
And you see the rest with the simple faith of man

(partial lyrics) Bill Staines
