….A place to stay.

Enough to eat.

Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street.

Where you can speak out loud,

about your doubts and fears,

and what's more....'

no one ever disappears,

you'll never hear their standard issue kicking in the door.

You can relax, 

on both sides of the tracks,

and maniacs, 

don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control.

And everyone has recourse to the law.

And no one kills the children anymore.

 

 

From The Gunner's Dream by Pink Floyd

"You can let your past control you and fear it, or you can stand up, let it know that you're in control and learn from it to prevent making the same mistakes." -Me.

"Granted, we're all going to die one day, but don't do something stupid that will cut your life short." -Me.

Life is too short so make the most of it (Me, but probably is a quote from somewhere just not entirely sure where).

[lovestoseepee 297]

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Meaning what's on the outside isn't necessarily the same as what's on the inside (not just with books but anything including people).

There is no such a thing as a normal life, there is just a life.

You can be a millionaire

By stepping on the needy.

Words of equality,

But they're written for the greedy.

I have two favorite quotes

1. There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.   
                                                 
                                                                                            - Frank Lloyd Wright

 

2.  Unless.

 

                                                                                           -  Dr. Seuss

Another favourite - written by Carl Sagan about a distant photograph of the Earth, taken by the Voyager spacecraft as it was leaving the solar system:

Quote

 

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives,"

"The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilisation, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

Carl Sagan, "Pale Blue Dot", 1994

And in the end,

The love you take

Is equal to the love

You make.
