Quote Left Timidity is a fault for which it is dangerous to reprove persons whom we wish to correct of it. Quote Right
Quote Left Its the sense of touch. Any real city, you walk, you're bumped, brush past people. In LA, no one touches you. We're always behind metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into each other just to feel something. Quote Right
Quote Left 'Who knocks?' 'I, who was beautiful, Beyond all dreams to restore,... Quote Right
Quote Left We only confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no big ones. Quote Right
Quote Left Those who occupy their minds with small matters, generally become incapable of greatness. Quote Right
Quote Left Children are guilty of unpardonable rudeness when they spit in the face of a companion; neither are they excusable who spit from windows or on walls or furniture. Quote Right
Quote Left Who said, 'All Time's delight Hath she for narrow bed; Life's troubled bubble broken'?— That's what I said. Quote Right
Quote Left The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune. Quote Right
Quote Left It started when I left Vegas that first time, skipping the hotel bill, driving off in that red convertible all alone, drunk and crazy, back to L.A. That's exactly what I felt. Fear and loathing. Quote Right
Quote Left San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - the place where the wave finally broke and rolled back. Quote Right
Quote Left We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. Quote Right
Quote Left The accent of one's birthplace remains in the mind and in the heart as in one's speech. Quote Right
Quote Left Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness. Quote Right
Quote Left A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant. Quote Right
Quote Left The sure mark of one born with noble qualities is being born without envy. Quote Right
Quote Left He kissed me. A kiss about apple pie a la mode with the vanilla creaminess melting in the pie heat. A kiss about chocolate, when you haven't eaten chocolate in a year. A kiss about palm trees speeding by, trailing pink clouds when you drive down the Strip sizzling with champagne. A kiss about spotlights fanning the sky and the swollen sea spilling like tears all over your legs. Quote Right
Quote Left Discourtesy does not spring merely from one bad quality, but from several--from foolish vanity, from ignorance of what is due to others, from indolence, from stupidity, from distraction of thought, from contempt of others, from jealousy. Quote Right
Quote Left A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire. Quote Right
Quote Left The art of using moderate abilities to advantage wins praise, and often acquires more reputation than actual brilliancy. Quote Right
Quote Left We always love those who admire us, but we do not always love those whom we admire. Quote Right
Quote Left Men are more satirical from vanity than from malice. Quote Right
Quote Left Pride does not wish to owe and vanity does not wish to pay. Quote Right
Quote Left Confidence contributes more to conversation than wit. Quote Right
Quote Left The reason why so few people are agreeable in conversation is that each is thinking more about what he intends to say than others are saying. Quote Right
Quote Left Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please. Quote Right
Quote Left Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed. Quote Right
Quote Left In LA the blood dries at night. The streets never cool down. The sound of helicopters fills the ears and sends knee jerk shots of panic, paranoia and animal savagery through the veins of the shuffled extras too numbed by glamour overload to notice that there's not a single intersection in the entire city where you can stand and not be an animal waiting to see your own intestines slide down your leg from a stray bullet. In this city they kill for the fuck of it, fuck for the hell of it and live for no reason. If I could have a nickel for every siren I've heard go screaming into the distance to some scene, I'd still be here, still be looking out the window of my room, still laughing at the fact that I can't get my window open very far because the security bars get in the way. Quote Right
Quote Left To know how to hide one's ability is great skill. Quote Right
Quote Left Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love. Quote Right
Quote Left What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one. Quote Right

Quote Left It's only when we start walking, we realise that journey is indeed more beautiful than what we seek as destination. The fact is that, when it rains, vibrant umbrellas come to rescue. When we slip, holding hands clutch sturdy. When we rise, the fireflies surround to make the win a legacy....... It's all in the journey. I am glad, I am blessed.... I am walking. I am glad, I am blessed..... Angels surround me. Quote Right

Quote Left Cancer is like a death sentence that minimises the growth population And dampens a man's spirit. Quote Right
Quote Left The scaly skin is often moulted by the snakes permitting replacement of old worn out skin, disposal of parasites and is thought to allow the snake to grow....so is when people abandon us.... The fierce fire is the cause of propulsion....so is needed for the rise of phoenix... Quote Right
Quote Left There's no small amount when it comes to giving of yourself. Give what you can, avoid glances of humiliation. Those are malevolent stares of wealthy people that give for gain lacking the joy in generosity. Quote Right
Quote Left Most of the parameters that we set, are formed with a duality from end to end, such as, black & white, right & wrong, good & evil, strong & weak, or receive & send. Yet it's the shades or degrees that lie in between, that may approach the infinite, where little is absolute or guaranteed. Quote Right
Quote Left We are free to do right, and we are free to do wrong -- and Law is free to treat us accordingly. Quote Right
Quote Left Balance to me is a recipe for mediocrity. Anything exceptional comes from insane, unwavering focus. Quote Right
Quote Left My memory searches a distant past, where a fisherman and a carpenter worked both the land and the sea. Quote Right
Quote Left “Amidst passing trends, opt for timelessness; favor lasting impact over fleeting favor." -Aloo Denish Obiero Quote Right
Quote Left 'Amidst transient trends, be timeless; choose lasting legacy over temporary popularity.' -Aloo Denish Obiero Quote Right
Quote Left A stolen heart is perhaps the most profound of any larceny ... its theft removes any joy that once flourished, and places anguish inside an empty soul. Quote Right

Quote Left “One can blame the moon for many strange things, but most of all for toying with heart strings.” Quote Right
Quote Left Let the heart speak! knowing its mind and own place, knowing its opulent space -- knowing our lies and truths, the shallow or depth of window-eyes, the soul that records our breaks and ties... the heart, a poet’s lexicon Quote Right
Quote Left Can one be vain and hold onto his riches, assuming they last all eternity? Can one treat people inhumanly and be treated kindly? Make a distinction between the two and ponder deeply! Quote Right
Quote Left I believe God has a plan...and all will work-out in His way and time. I don't believe that He wants animals to destroy one another in order to survive. We are missing something in our understanding of creation and Divine Purpose. Free Will is not interpreted correctly, speaking of man's profound relationship to his social and physical environments. We have far more control over things, than mankind sees, and when he does, is willing to consciously admit to his soul. Quote Right
Quote Left When you join the “lost your mother” club, other members do not congratulate you, but tell their own sad tale, swaddling you in their cocooned tears. Quote Right
Quote Left After having lived twenty-two years in Greece, my sum of that enchanting land is this: Greece is a persecution complex wrapped in an over-inflated ego. Quote Right

Quote Left One day we all die. All that remains are the photos and memories. Perhaps a person could write it all down and leave something of themselves behind; their thoughts, their memories. And in their written thoughts, perhaps "Love" is eventually understood and found. One day we all die. We all die one day. I shall ghost with the best of them ... a very ghostly ghost.(LadyLabyrinth/Leanne Lovejoy-Burton) Quote Right
