With That Moon Language - Hafiz
Admit something: Everyone you see, you say to them, "Love me." Of course you do not do this out loud, otherwise someone would call the cops. Still, though, think about this, this great pull in us to connect. Why not become the one who lives with a full moon in each eye that is always saying, with that sweet moon language, what every other eye in this world is dying to hear? -------------------- "You're cute, like a velvet glove cast in iron. And like a gas chamber, a real fun gal."

As one grows older one is more impatient with subterfuges and
shams generally, and increasingly desirious that the "last run" at least should be free from them. The world is apparently so confused that the least one can do for it is to keep one"s mental integrity and to hold honestly to such poor wisdom as one has been able to garner on the way. ~ Jane Addams -------------------- "Earth: The insane asylum for the universe..."

The most successful people in the world are the ones who run with what they have. They don't wait for "perfect." They run with "imperfect" and accomplish "unbelievable."

“This whole ‘Poor lonely Jen’ thing, this idea that I’m so unlucky in love? I actually feel I’ve been unbelievably lucky in love. I don’t feel like I’m supposed to be any further along or somewhere that I’m not. I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”
Jennifer Aniston -------------------- “Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.”

QUOTE(electric @ Apr 25 2006, 04:42 PM)  " Education is something which should be apart from the necessities of earning a living, not a tool therefore. It needs contemplation, fallow periods, the measured and guided study of the history of man's reiteration of the most agonizing question of all: Why? Today the good ones, the ones who want to ask why, find no one around with any interest in answering the question, so they drop out, because theirs is the type of mind which becomes monstrously bored at the trade-school concept." <BR> <BR>- John D. MacDonald -------------------- We adore chaos because we love to produce order. - M.C. Escher |

Recently I have found this quote very very insightful
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." —Thomas Jefferson, letter to Albert Gallatin, 1802 |
