If I hadn't blown it all those years ago
I might not be in love..."

Go ahead, flame me, shred me, crucify me and feed me to the trolls. Feedback is feedback, and I am a feedback whore. Nothing you say about what I write is capable of breaking my heart, it just makes me write more, and faster, and usually harder. Funny how sex and writing both work that way. So there.

"And, Sir, what are they?"

"And, What is that?"

"Experience."

"And how do you get Experience?"

"Two words"

"And, Sir, what are they?"

"Wrong decisions."

Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

Laugh alone and the world thinks you're an idiot.

Sometimes I wake up grumpy; other times I let him sleep

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
 
Feedback: I come to this thread nearly every day. What you show of yourself here causes me to seek and wanting to know more of you.



Nothing is more important about the quantum principle than this, that it destroys the concept af the world as "sitting out there," with the observer safely separated from it by a 20 centimeter slab of glass. Even to observe so minuscule an object as an electron, he must shatter the glass. He must reach in. He must install his chosen measuring equipment. ...The measurement changes the state of the electron. The universe will never afterward be the same.
-John Wheeler
 
Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid.

~Goethe

Life will not provide what you expect or want. This is not a bad thing. Although Murphy's Law and its corollaries are true, they are the very reason that life is worth living. The beauty is in the randomness, the unpredictability, and the grace with which you accept it. ~Glen Phillips

Nothing exists but atoms and empty space. All else is opinion. ~Max Planck

When a distinguished and elderly scientist says something is possible, he is almost certainly correct; when he says something is impossible he is very probably wrong.~Arthur C. Clarke

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is ....
 
Al Pacino - Scarface 1983

"This is paradise, I'm tellin' ya. This town like a great big pussy jus' waitin' to get fucked."
(Tony to Manny)
 
Our job is not to make up anybody's mind, but to open minds and to make the agony of the decision-making so intense you can escape only by thinking.
 
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.

Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.

The most important things in life aren't things.

To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life.
 
A great many people mistake opinions for thoughts.

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace.
They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them.
The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.


Ramona L. Anderson
 
re

Living with integrity means;

Not settling for less than you know you deserve in your relationships
Asking for what you want and need from others
Speaking your truth even though it might create conflict or tension
Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values
Making choices based on what you believe and not what others believe
 
:D Too bad the only people who know how to run the country
are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.
 
ok its not a quote but its my favourite poem and its kindof appropriate here :rose:


O Could One Write as One Makes Love
by Gwen Harwood


O could one write as one makes love
when all is given and nothing kept,
then language might put by at last
its coy elisions and inept
withdrawals, yield, and yielding cast
aside like useless clothes the crust
of worn and shabby use, and trust

its candour to the urgent mind,
its beauty to the searching tongue.
Safe in the world's great house with all
its loves and griefs, at ease among
its earthly fruits, original
as earth and air, the body learns
peace, while the mind in torment burns

to strip the cloak of daily use
from language. Could one seize and move
the stubborn words to yield and sing,
then one would write as one makes love
and poems and revelations spring
like children from the mind's desire,
original as light and fire.
 
Ah! Young love, so naive, so immature, so unsophisticated, yet ever so charming! Every generation warns the next of the heartaches and the heartbreaks that come with this love. Yet, each generation is eager to experience love......

Love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image... otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

The first duty of love is to listen.
