Truth!!!!

“The Greatest Generation gets too much credit. Those World War II guys, if they had all the shit we have today, they’d be assholes too. It’s just circumstantial. It’s what you’re called on to do that makes you great. We haven’t been called on to do anything but buy shit and get fat.”

            - Louis C.K.

 

shhhhhh....

this is how I REALLY feel today:

                        

“I heard an airplane passing overhead. I wished I was on it.”

~	Charles Bukowski

last night's & today's, thoughts....

 

 

I’m not a morning person

or a night time person

I don’t think I’m even a person 

and then last but certainly NOT least a wonderful quote from Ms. Nora Ephron:

“Maybe young women don’t wonder whether they can have it all any longer, but in case of you are wondering, of course you can have it all. What are you going to do? Everything, is my guess. It will be a little messy, but embrace the mess. It will be complicated, but rejoice in the complications. It will not be anything like what you think it will be like, but surprises are good for you. And don’t be frightened: you can always change your mind. I know: I’ve had four careers and three husbands.”

I am drowning

No words are more true....

"The opposite of love is indifference. Hate is the clothing love wears when it's feeling lonely and mean."

About sums up my weekend...

“Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.”

~ Rainer Maria Rilke,  The Book of Hours

 

“We all,

sometimes,

leave each other out there under the skies,

and we never understand why.”

~ Truman Capote

 

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”

~Rumi

 



“You have to decide who you are and force the world to deal with you, not with its idea of you.”

~ James Baldwin

 

I was born a jeweler*...

 

“... I don’t give a shit what the world thinks. I was born a bitch, I was born a painter*,

I was born fucked.

But I was happy in my way.

 

You did not understand what I am.

I am love.

I am pleasure, I am essence, I am an idiot, I am an alcoholic, I am tenacious.

I am; simply I am…You are a shit.”

 

~ Frida Kahlo, from an unsent letter to Diego Rivera 

 

 

 



 

"We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then. To pretend that they and we are the same is a useful and convenient social convention which must sometimes be broken. We must also remember that at every meeting we are meeting a stranger."

~ T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party

 

“Neutrality helps the oppressor,

never the victim.

Silence encourages the tormentor,

never the tormented.”

 

~ Elie Wiesel 

 

it is a difficult path I MUST travel this week...

 

but I KNOW it will be worth it.

 

to at least have some of this behind me,

will be a MUCH needed relief 

AND

I'm NOT looking back!

 

wish me luck?

“Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead.”

~ James Joyce

"You’ve tried the rest.
You’ve waited long enough.
Everything catches up with you.

And you’re too old,
or too young.
Or you don’t have the money

or you don’t have the time.
Maybe you’re shy, and maybe
you’re just afraid.

How often have you heard it,
have you promised
yourself you’d try

something really different
if you had the chance?
Though you can’t help but wonder

if all those people
know what they’re doing, now
you’re saying it with them:

Eventually everything
catches up with us,
and it starts to show.

We’ve waited all our lives, or as long
as we can remember, whichever
is long enough."

 

~   Lawrence Raab, The Rest          

“Whoever, at any time, has undertaken to build a new heaven

 has found the strength for it

 in his own hell.”

~ Friedrich Nietzsche 

Soo happy today is MY friday....

I guess I am NOT that bad of a human after all....

“I believe that Magic is Art and Art whether it be music, writing, sculpture or any other, is literally magic. Art, like any magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images, to achieve changes in consciousness… Indeed to cast a spell is simply to manipulate words, to change people’s consciousness, and this is why I believe that an artist or a writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world to a Shaman.”

 

~ Alan Moore

“‘But you can’t give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That’s how you’ll end up, Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You’ll end up looking at the sky.’”

—	Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s (p. 59)

because I needed to laugh AND love me some Louis C.K.

“Women try to compete.
They’re like, ‘Well I’m a pervert. You don’t know. I have really sick sexual thoughts.’

I’m like, ‘No, you have no idea. You have NO idea.’

‘Cause you see, you get to have those thoughts. I HAVE to have those thoughts.

You’re a tourist in sexual perversion.
I’m a prisoner there.
 
You’re Jane Fonda on a tank.

I’m John McCain in the hut.”
                                                              ~ Louis C.K.
