CRYPTICLXVI -> RE: There's this quote... (9/27/2010 10:33:17 AM)

Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement.
Henry Miller

All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.
Henry Miller



CRYPTICLXVI -> RE: There's this quote... (9/27/2010 11:19:44 AM)

How by the desultory breeze caress'd,
Like some coy maid half-yielding to her lover,
It pours such sweet upbraiding, as must needs
Tempt to repeat the wrong ! And now, its strings
Boldlier swept, the long sequacious notes
Over delicious surges sink and rise,
Such a soft floating witchery of sound
As twilight Elfins make, when they at eve
Voyage on gentle gales from Faery-Land,
Where Melodies round honey-dropping flowers,
Footless and wild, like birds of Paradise,
Nor pause, nor perch, hovering on untam'd wing !

Coleridge

...because I am struck by him this moment.

Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her,
still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
- Victor Hugo

A man's desire is for the woman,
but the woman's desire is rarely other
than for the desire of the man. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Tis a sight to engage me, if any thing can,
To muse on the perishing pleasures of man;
Though his life be a dream, his enjoyments, I see,
Have a being less durable even than he.

-----William Cowper, from "The Poplar-Field"

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

I believe in:

"Being a Heartless Bitch isn't about stepping on other people, or reality TV-style sabotage antics. Its about working hard for what you want, and knowing when to stand up for what you deserve. Its not about demoralizing others; its about self-empowerment. Its not about being arrogant; its about displaying your confidence and intellect as a badge of pride. Its not asserting any inherent superiority or self-entitlement, but recognizing your own self-worth and value."
-- Kat D.

This I appreciate quite a bit... impressed.



There is only one way to receive transmission. When I tell you something, do it immediately, without the least wavering thought. That’s it. Learn. Open your heart and act. Thought stops action. It perverts it into calculated gesture stripped of grace and efficiency.

Daniel Odier

The empty, the one, the unmoved, the full, satiation, wanting nothing—that would be my evil: in short, dreamless sleep.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.

Pleasures lie thickest where no pleasures seem:
There's not a leaf that falls upon the ground
But holds some joy of silence or of sound.
Some sprite begotten of a summer dream.

---- Laman Blanchard, 1803-1845

So sweet and delicious do I become,
when I am in bed with a man
who, I sense, loves and enjoys me,
that the pleasure I bring excels all delight,
so the knot of love, however tight
it seemed before, is tied tighter still
- Veronica Franco
