I like the words of some neo-zen philosopher that said -

what is, IS.

and phillip pullman - "you cannot change what you are, only what you do."

These I attribute to Little Billy:

If at first you don't succeed, cover up all evidence you ever tried.

Its entirely possible that, in the great play we call life, you might not be the main character

The Early bird gets the worm. The early worm, on the other hand, gets eaten

The variables vary too much, and the constants aren't as constant as they seem
- Finagle's 3rd fundamental finding.

"At night my mind seems not to care
If what it thinks is here or there
It tells me stories it invents
And makes up things that don't make sense.
I don't know why it does this stuff -
The real world seems quite wierd enough"

Everything will be okay
in the end.

If it's not okay,
it's not the end.

I got this from another site and I have to agree. It ain't over 'til it's over. And you know that it is over when everything is okay.

"You don't get to decide what I hold on to."


I heard that coming out of the television about 30 minutes ago. I have no idea who said it -- the speaker was a woman -- but the television is turned to the ABC affiliate in Indianapolis so I can find out what show it was later. It sums up my feelings exactly. I decide what I hold onto and what I let go. No one else. That is true for everyone and people really need to understand and respect that. It is the height of arrogance to do otherwise and, personally, I don't take kindly to anyone trying to usurp my choices. I will now get off my soapbox and return you to your regularly scheduled quotes...

The more you love, the more you can love---and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person had time enough, he could love all of that majority who are decent and just.

Lazarus Long

I ran across this while prowling the web. It's a Heinlein quote but I don't know from which book -- Note to Self: Find that damned copy of Stranger in a Strange Land that went awol right after purchase! -- but I bet that Black Rose knows....
ETA: I also happen to agree with the quote. So does Skywise.

Lead me not into temptation....
For you will be surprised!
~Me~


I finally found that copy of Stranger in a Strange Land and if it would not violate Robert Heinlein's copyright all to hell, I'd probably post the whole thing! I do think that I'll pick out some of the passages that resonate the most with me and post them. *giggle* Probably shock the hell out of some people.....

"My darling girl when are you going to understand that being normal is not necessarily a virtue, it rather denotes a lack of courage."
- Aunt Frances, Practical Magic


I have to agree with this and I gotta find time to watch that movie again. I also have to find time to put together a bunch of "Stranger in a Strange Land" quotes although I would really rather just learn Martian....

If you don't know what I'm talking about, read the book! Smiley

The Code of The Amazons
  

     “Let all who read these words know: We are a nation of women, dedicated to our sisters, to our Gods, and to The Peace that is Humankind's right.  Granted life by Gaea, The Goddesses, and the souls of women past, we have been gifted with the mission to unite the people of our world with love and compassion.
     Man has corrupted many of the laws our Gods set forth.  So, in Their wisdom, The Goddesses did create a race of female warriors dedicated to the ideals of uniting all people, all sexes, all races, all creeds.  No longer will Man rule alone, for now woman stands as an equal to temper his aggression with compassion, lend reason to his rages, and overcome hatred with love.
     We are The Amazons, and we have come to save Mankind.”

Wonder Woman: The Ultimate Guide to The Amazon Princess

Found this elsewhere on the site. It NEEDS to be here.

Quote:
"If I love someone who I believe to be deserving of my love, then it doesn't matter whether they are willing or able to return it -- I have nonetheless determined that there is some aspect of this person which would (all other things being equal) deserve my heart. My love does not depend on what the other person is willing to say." Anthony Ravenscroft

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

~Frank Herbert.  Dune. Litany Against Fear.
