We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. ~Author Unknown

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Langston Hughes

A light heart lives long. - William Shakespeare

violaine · 03-30-2010, 08:06 PM

to have a quiet mind is to possess one's mind wholly; to have a calm spirit is to possess one's self -

Hamilton Wright Mabie --

this severe, ascetic music, calm and horizontal as the line of the ocean, monotonous by virtue of its serenity, anti-sensuous, and yet so intense in its contemplativeness that it verges sometimes on ecstasy -

Charles Gounod --

violaine · 03-30-2010, 09:50 PM

life just seems so full of connections. Most of the time we don't even pay attention to the depth of life. We only see flat surfaces -

the moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself -
Henry Miller -

Risk! Risk anything!
Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices.
Do the hardest thing on earth for you.
Act for yourself.
Face the truth.

Katherine Mansfield

One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
~Emily Dickinson, "Time and Eternity"

"Everybody needs his memories. They keep the wolf of insignificance from the door." ~Saul Bellow

JakeTulane · 03-31-2010, 05:57 AM

"It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment - but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?" ~Lord Byron

JakeTulane · 03-31-2010, 05:59 AM

"Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened."
~T.S. Eliot

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. -- Albert Einstein

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision." ~ Unknown

Freeing yourself was one thing; claiming ownership of that freed self was another.

~ Toni Morrison

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. ~ Lao Tzu

EthanGaBoy · 03-31-2010, 03:04 PM

"Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing. "
— Jerome K. Jerome (Three Men in a Boat)

Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and suck forever.
~unknown~

Roses are red,
the sun is gold.
Get on your knees,
and do as you're told.
~unknown~

At one time or another I have insulted everybody, and I am proud of that. Folks, let me sum it up for you: I think religion is bad, and drugs are good. I think America causes cancer, longevity is less important than fun and young people should be discouraged from voting. I think stereotypes are true, abstinence is a pervsion, Bushs lies are worse than Clintons and there is nothing sexy about being old or pregnant. I think 9-11 changed nothing, and if I had known the onset of war would add a hundred points on to Bushs IQ, I would have started one. I think pornography stops rape, I think AIDS ribbons are stupid, and flag burning makes me feel patriotic. I think death is not the worst thing that can happen. I think people have too much self-esteem, and being drunk is funny. I think children are not innocent, God doesnt write books, and Jesus wasnt a republican. I am for mad cow disease, and against suing tobacco companies. I think girls hate each other, no doesnt always mean no, you have to lie to stay married, womens sports are boring, and the Olympics are gay.

~Bill Maher~
