Thoughts on the wind

I mentioned that I keep a journal of thoughts, quotes, etc.... Let's see what is in the latest:

From Lone Sophist's site:
"Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody"

Amalie - good movie according to Will or it's Amelie, or maybe Amelia


"Life does not always turn out the way you planned"

"If you can't laugh at yourself life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like"
Sam - from the movie Garden State

"Maybe that's what family really is. A group of people that miss the same things."
Large - from the movie Garden State

"Like a hole in the heart."
"I've lived a long time....and you know what? It doesn't get any easier. You'd think it would get easier. But it doesn't."
"After a while you get to know your holes,....you can put your finger in them, feel the inside, know how deep, what's still tender, what's scarred over."
"This might sound strange, but it's true,...."........"It's as if they become your friends. They're yours, and nobody can take them away from you. Your little heart holes."
"Do you think this could be my last hold, please?" .......... "It feels like enough."
"Probably not,"........."But try to think of it differently. Like a badge."
"A Badge?"
"That's right. By the time they call your number, you want a heart full of holes,"........"What else you gonna have to show for your life?"
From Hole in the Heart by Christopher Marquis

"Her heart lightened a moment, yet she still didn't see why such creatures must one day not be. "We have loved their music," old Shirley said.
"It comes wrapped in silence, they'll someday be dead. Our lives are the same, we're not here for long, and that's why we listen so hard to their song."

Love made cowards of us all. It made us brave in the big moments, when eternity was on the line. But we squandered that gift in a million private fears, doled out in the half-light of our bedrooms, worrying that we might lose our most precious someone.

British words we don't use enough:
Fuck all
Dodgy
Slapdash
Bugger
Git
Wanker

"........I swear my nerves are sitting in a corner, crying their eyes out."
Joanna in Something from the Nightside by Simon R. Green

"The gesture was come and gone, but of such small steps are miracles made."
John Taylor in Paths not Taken by Simon R. Green

"This is not how we really are," said the angel Gabriel, "We found these images in your heads."
"Comfortable fictions," said Baphomet
From Paths not Taken by Simon R. Green

"Certainty of death, small chance of success, what are we waiting for?"
Gimley from the movie Return of the King
