"The only people who can see the whole picture" he murmured,
"are the ones who step out of the frame."

Dive for Dreams
by e.e. cummings


dive for dreams

or a slogan may topple you

(trees are their roots

and wind is wind)



trust your heart

if the seas catch fire

(and live by love

though the stars walk backward)



honour the past

but welcome the future

(and dance your death

away at this wedding)



never mind a world

with its villains or heroes

(for god likes girls

and tomorrow and the earth)

"You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build wings on your way down," ~ Annie Dillard (Pilgrim at Tinker Creek).

Pansy by Andrea Gibson, which I read in one sitting on the bus and almost broke down sobbing.

Silence is the best reply to a fool.

- Imam Ali

Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people
not smart enough to know they were impossible.

I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

Oscar Wilde

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

The word 'aggression' is related etymologically to the words 'progress', 'digress', 'egress', 'transgress', 'degrade', 'congress'. etc.

Now, the word 'progress' literally means to move into the enemy's camp, fully armed.

And, the word 'aggress' literally means to move towards the enemy's camp, fully armed.

I think Wilde liked to engage with aggressive men.

:superfunny:

I also think it is a waste of time to engage with someone who refuses to look at facts.
