For me the best times are always going to be the most intense,
the ones with the highest highs and the lowest lows.

The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.

- John Walter Wayland
(VA-OM 1899)

Three quotes tonight by Shirley Chisholm: In 1968, Chisholm became the first Black woman elected to US Congress. In her prior political career, Chisholm represented New York's 12th district for seven consecutive terms and was formerly an educator.

1) "Tremedous amounts of talent are lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt."

2) "There is little in the political scheme of things for an independent, creative personality, for a fighter. Anyone who takes that role must pay a price."

3) "In the end, anti-black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing: Anti-humanism."

"If I'm not with a butch, everyone just assumes I'm straight. It's like I'm passing too, against my will. I'm sick of the world thinking I'm straight. I've worked hard to be discriminated against as a lesbian"

Stone Butch Blues, Leslie Feinberg

Hurt-Trent Reznor 1994
"What I have become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away in the end

You can have it all
My empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way."

performed by Nine Inch Nails 1994 and Johnny Cash 2002

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation... tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.

~Jean Arp

“You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.” ― H.L. Mencken

“Stop giving meaningless praise and start giving meaningful action.” ― Steve Maraboli

“I want morning and noon and nightfall with you. I want your tears, your smiles, your kisses...the smell of your hair, the taste of your skin, the touch of your breath on my face. I want to see you in the final hour of my life...to lie in your arms as I take my last breath.” ― Lisa Kleypas

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone

W. H. Auden

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Duchess · 10-06-2012, 08:47 AM

We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls.
