Something amazing happens when you're in love and don't give a damn about what day it is anymore.

I have never ceased to wonder at the thing we call human nature, with its times of beauty and its times of filthiness, or at the level of calm stupidity that lies in between the two.

How many attractions for us have our passing fellows in the streets, both male and female, which our ethics forbid us to express, which yet infuse so much pleasure into life. A lovely child, a handsome youth, a beautiful girl, a heroic man, a maternal woman, a venerable old man, charm us, though strangers, and we cannot say so, or look at them but for a moment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journal, No

Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Always count the cost.

Proverb

A friendship like love is warm a love like friendship is steady.

Thomas More

Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.

Herbie Hancock

Long as I was riding in a big Cadillac and dressed nice and had plenty of food, that's all I cared about.

Etta James

Haniel Long

Experience is determined by yourself -- not the circumstances of your life.

Gita Bellin

To fly from, need not be to hate, makind: All are not fit with them to stir and toil, Nor is it discontent to keep the mind Deep in its fountain.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron, Chil
