You cannot find peace by avoiding life. --Virginia Woolf
|
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

Dream Deferred
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
|
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 -- |
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 |
"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 |
"Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take Towards the door we never opened." ~T.S. Eliot |
"The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood."
~Ralph Nichols (April is National Autism Awareness Month ~ there couldn't be a better time to reach out and understand.) |
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 world was made round so that we would never be able to see too far down the road." - Isak Dinesen
|
"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
|
"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) |
Advice from Dr. FeelGood......
Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and suck forever. ~unknown~ :2nddaywalker: Roses are red, the sun is gold. Get on your knees, and do as you're told. ~unknown~ :spank: 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. :overreaction: ~Bill Maher~ |
