quotes...


i had quite a hectic weekend... no afternoon naps....it doesn't get any worse than that for me...so due to my lack of beauty sleep... and thus lack of imagination this beautiful monday morning...i will be telling you about this thing i have for quotes...

this "thing" is like love or a deep hunger that's satisfied when i read something i truly connect with...quotes are like songs...they speak to me deep down where my heart and my soul meet...i tell you if a quote spoke to me...if i get it...i can't stop thinking about it...weird innit...songs are like that too...music touches to me i a whole different way...i struggle to cry in general...but quotes and songs makes me cry...when i went to the movies with my friend once to see "in pursuit of happiness", a truly moving story...i didn't cry one tear...she was sobbing her heart out next to me...and i was passing her tissues...at a stage she actually said to me "don't you have a heart woman???...anyway...i only cry when i am deeply moved, sometimes it doesn't take much but other times it takes quite a lot...my heart is not made of stone...but i have glued it back together so many times that i guard it beyond what is probably normal...it's that letting go of power or something that scares me...to make myself vulnerable...and then to be hurt when you don't expect it...if a song spoke to me i will easily listen to it twenty times...and cry my sad little heart out...and be reborn somehow...so here are a few of my most recent quotes that spoke to me...and rocked my world....hope they speak to your heart too...

One man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he is occupied in doing wrong in any other department. Life is one indivisible whole. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

i stole this one from the sweet philip aka blue sloth...this one got me good...

Life's splendour forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come. ~ Franz Kafka

wow...

and this sweet little gem made me smile...most woman will get this one and most men will think that we pity ourselves...not so...we just know something you don't...


"...leave pretty woman to men without imagination..."

another favourite...

from the movie Robin Hood...

...you make the bees buzz in my breast...you bring springtime to my heart...

so that's my piece of wisdom and beauty today...hope you have a great week!

sheez! thank goodness!
right- what i been trying to say is...
i don't cry either!
my mom and sisters have their bladders behind their eyes- and i might occasionally get a lump in my throat from a song or a book- but i don't cry...
