When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
- Marcus Aurelius

I usually don't reply to these threads because I can never muster up the energy to think of some of my favorite quotes, but I have this time.

:static:

Yaaaaaaaaay.



Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute, and yet is relative; in that it somehow always goes beyond itself and yet never escapes itself.

t.s. eliot

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.

leopold stokowski

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

anais nin

I simply do not distinguish between work and play.

mary oliver

To destroy is always the first step in any creation.

e.e. cummings

Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.

oscar wilde


I wanted to make a reference to Prufrock somewhere in here but realized I'd have to quote the entire darn poem.

:cry:

I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?

What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld,

Cats regard people as warmblooded furniture.
