'We have art in order not to die of the truth.'
Nietzsche
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The strangest whim has seized me...After all
I think I will not hang myself today.
"We have lingered in the chambers of the sea/ By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown/ Till human voices wake us, and we drown."
"Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night."
"Aimons donc, aimons donc ! de l’heure fugitive,
Hâtons-nous, jouissons !
L’homme n’a point de port, le temps n’a point de rive ;
Il coule, et nous passons !"
which translates roughly to...
"Love, love! Time is a fugitive!
Hurry, be joyous!
Man has no port, time has no riverbank!
It runs, and we pass."
Sounds crappy in English, I know.
"To thine own self be true.
(William Shakespeare)

"Advertising signs that con
You into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life goes on outside around you"
Bob Dylan
"I desire a society which selects its rulers, from the best elements of every class and denies the right of any class or corporation to usurp the government to itself - whether it be the nobles, the clergy, the bourgeoisie, or the proletariat. For government by any one class is fatal to the
welfare of the whole." Scaramouche Rafael Sabatini
It's on the jacket of the book that I am reading. William Gibson's Pattern Recognition.It's only called paranoia if you can't prove it
Not attributed. Expect part of the synopsis, but I like it.
I have to say I tend to have a favourite quote on almost a daily basis. The media always has something that is either facile, profund or both...lol. We could have a daily favourite quote. I am very new, so if that's already in place, I will go looking.
"Man, of all the animals, is probably the only one to regard himself as a great delicacy".

Debra sue, if you like the "All The world's a stage" quote you would undpubtedly like another one from Shakespeare, this time from Macbeth, very very famous: "Out, out, brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow, poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, sugnifying nothing". what you think of that quote?
if you haven't anything nice to say come sit by me....
Well maybe not my absolute favorite but it is inspiring: "We all devise images of ourselves sufficient enough to deny our nothingness" Guy de Maupaussant
my personal favourite is something i saw on a post card a long time ago and being welsh it has stuck with me!
"To be born Welsh is to be privileged,
not with a silver spoon in your mouth
but with music in your blood
and poetry in your soul"
enjoy!
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 and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

Wish hard enough, I could turn it to what I like.
