Favorite saying
- ""I'm not some somber skull and crossbones
dutifully condemning my own quiddity.
I'm stark contradiction -- black and white,
mirth and death -- snapping at full mast
over the moving target of my dangerous joy.
Some might say I'm an agent of destruction.
I say, I'm taking some of what I want and all
that I need -- like everyone else -- my honest,
ominous flight distinguishing me only from
the liars."
First stanza of "The Jolly Roger"
-- Evie Shockley
At every moment of our lives, we all have one foot in a fairytale, and the other in the abyss.
--Paulo Coelho
“Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play.”
― Willie Nelson
"A Clear Midnight" by Walt Whitman
"THIS is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou
lovest best.
Night, sleep, death and the stars.""
