Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do.

It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.

Sir Winston Churchill

Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.

Oscar de la Renta

Whenever you hold a fellow creature in distress, remember that he is a man.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

If you insist upon fighting to protect me, or 'our' country, let it be understood soberly and rationally between us that you are fighting to gratify a sex instinct which I cannot share; to procure benefits where I have not shared and probably will not share.

Virginia Woolf

Every man's life (and... every woman's life), awaits the hour of blossoming that makes it immortal... love is a divinity above all accidents, and guards his own with extraordinary obstinacy.
