"I would rather regret the things I have done than regret the things I haven't done." - Lucille Ball

[Genesis]

"That is why it is so important to let certain things go.
To release them.
To cut loose.
People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards;
sometimes we win and sometimes we lose.
Don't expect to get anything back,
don't expect recognition for your efforts, don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood.
Complete the circle.
Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life.
Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust.
Stop being who you were and become who you are."
— Paulo Coelho (The Zahir)

[Genesis]

"For those who are not frightened by the solitude, everything will have a different taste.

In solitude, they will discover the love that might otherwise arrive unnoticed.

In solitude, they will understand and respect the love that left them.

In solitude, they will be able to decide whether it is worth asking that lost love to come back or if they should simply let it go and set off along a new path.

In solitude, they will learn that saying ‘No’ does not always show a lack of generosity and that saying ‘Yes’ is not always a virtue.

And those who are alone at this moment, need never be frightened by the words of the devil: ‘You’re wasting your time.’

Or by the chief demon’s even more potent words: ‘No one cares about you.’

The Divine Energy is listening to us when we speak to other people, but also when we are still and silent and able to accept solitude as a blessing.

And when we achieve that harmony, we receive more than we asked for."

— Paulo Coelho (Manuscript Found in Accra)

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” ― Washington Irving

“The favorite sport then was squatting on a table and fucking as hard as you could when the beer and ’ludes hit, and then you would fall to the floor and roll around and come that way. That was the orgasm of choice in the ’70s for me.”
- Kim Fowley, founder of the Runaways

I have something to prove, as long as I know there's something that needs improvement, and you know that everytime I move, I make a woman's movement.

Why do you look at the speck of dust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother,
'Let me take the speck out of your eye, ' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.


~Matthew 7:3-5

[Tierney]

“Maybe, it is just enough to believe with a positive heart that people didn’t let you down. It could be just this: They couldn’t give you the compassion you really wanted based on where their heart is right now. Maybe, not now, but years later they will catch the memory of you in a quiet moment. There on that Sunday morning, a light will shine through the fog of lies, misunderstanding and frustration they built inside their angry mind about your true character. And, when it does, the shadows will be casted out to reveal a scared and hurt little boy or girl that just wanted to be loved, but went about it all wrong. Maybe, on that day, the whisper of their gratitude for your love will find its way back to your heart. And when that day comes, you will find yourself smiling all day long and not know why.” ― Shannon L. Alder

[Tierney]

“Peace is not a result inside us from everything around us. Peace is not submissive nor passive. On the contrary, peace is an overwhelming force which comes from within us, disrespectful of everything around us, a firm coalition of spirit and soul standing against all the unrest that abounds.” ― C. JoyBell C.

[Tierney]

“Courage uncovers strength, grace reveals beauty, vulnerability expresses humility, inner peace reflects contentment” ― Millen Livis

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream. Discover.” —Mark Twain
