Some more good stuff!!

What can I say!!! I'm addicted to browsing for quotes!!!!

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations."
- Anais Nin

"The only real people are the people who never existed."
-Oscar Wilde

"Love and stoplights can be cruel."
- Sesame Street

When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."-Friedrich Nietzsche

"'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?' 'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat. 'I don’t much care where--' said Alice. 'Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,' said the Cat. '--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation. 'Oh, you’re sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk long enough.'


'Take some more tea,' the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly. 'I’ve had nothing yet,' Alice replied in an offended tone: 'so I can’t take more.' 'You mean you can’t take LESS,' said the Hatter: 'it’s very easy to take MORE than nothing.'

'I see nobody down the road,' said Alice. 'I only wish I had such eyes,' the King remarked in a fretful tone. 'To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance too! Why, it’s as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!'


"Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "if it was so, it might be, and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic!"

‘Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.’”

'There is no use in trying,' said Alice; 'one cannot believe impossible things.' 'I dare say you haven’t had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour each day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'"

-Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland



You were right about the stars;
Each one is a setting sun.
-Jeff Tweedy, “Jesus, etc.”

What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain til you see their speck dispersing?—it’s the too huge world vaulting us, and it’s goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy adventure beneath the skies.
-Jack Kerouac, “On The Road”

Jadis! Jadis! Jadis, on etait ensemble, non? Ensemble! Ce grand môt d’amour…
A long time, a very long, long time ago, we were together, right? Together! This great name for love…
-Jack Kerouac, in a letter to friend Sebastian Sampas

The stars were the same then as they are tonight.
-Jack Kerouac, “The Dharma Bums”

My witness is the empty sky.
-Jack Kerouac

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...
-Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"


Take it easy, but take it.
-Woody Guthrie

Maybe the human animal has contributed really nothing to the universe but kissing and comedy--but by God that's plenty.
-Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

This is love, isn't it? When you notice someone's absence and hate that absence more than anything? More, even, than you love his presence?
-Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated


What would we be without wishful thinking?
-Jeff Tweedy, "Wishful thinking"

Summer afternoon—summer afternoon…the two most beautiful words in the English language.
-Henry James, Portrait of a Lady

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
~Nietzsche

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
-Steve Jobs

May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.

Oh my God, I'm my father! I've been trying so hard not to be my mother that I didn't see this coming.

There's only one thing better than getting what you want, and that's getting what you want and pissing someone else off at the same time.

You coveteth my ice cream bar, but you cannot have it. I have had this ice cream bar since I was a child.

You define yourself by the people you love and that's enough.

The universe had not yet beckoned.
-George Eliot, “Middlemarch”

Gentle moon, find us soon.
-Mark Kozelek

Who am I, but my own past?
-Katherine Mansfield, “A Married Man’s Story”

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin

"From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being."
--Unknown

. "The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life."
--Sir Hugh Walpole

"True love begins when nothing is looked for in return."
--Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.

Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs had better get used to it.

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Nelson Mandela



Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation,
there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless
ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits
oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help
one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of
events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of
unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no
man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you
can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and
magic in it. Begin it now. " -- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

" Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs.
Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others."
-John F. Kennedy

Practical people would be a lot more practical -
if they were just a little more dreamy."
-- J.P. McEvoy


We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say
we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still
wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved."
-anonymous

" I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge
That myth is more potent than history
That dreams are more powerful than facts
That hope always triumphs over experience
That laughter is the only cure for grief
And I believe that love is stronger than death."
--- Robert Fulghum

" When your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme."
--Jiminy Crickett

" To be a star, You must shine your own light, Follow your own
path, And don't worry about the darkness, For that is when
stars shine brightest! " --- Author unknown

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that
if at the end, when I come to lay down the reigns of power,
I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have
one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside me."
--Abe Lincoln
