Who's got a favourite quote? Maybe one you think of daily and remind yourself when needs be? Or one that holds great memories perhaps?
Mine is "I can resist anything, except temptation." By Oscar Wilde |

Pretty much anything Audrey Hepburn said but this is one of my favourites...
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.
Audrey Hepburn

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.

I often find myself recalling this gem from True Detective...
'I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, this accretion of sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody's nobody.' |

Buildings burn, people die, but real love? That lasts forever. The Crow.
Sooner or later, everyone is going to hurt you. You just have to figure out who is worth the pain. Bob Marley.
Never look down on someone, unless you are helping them up. |

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrival's gate at Heathrow airport. General opinion started to make out that we're living in a world of hatred and greed. But I don't see that, seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the plane hit the Twin Tower, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from people on board were messages of hate or revenge. They are all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.

"What a joy walking is. All the cares of life, all the hopeless, inept fuckwits that God has strewn along the Highway of Life suddenly seem far away and harmless, and the world becomes tranquil and welcoming and good." : Bill Bryson |

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt...he actually had some great words...very profound. |

Was reading up about the WWI poet Wilfred Owen earlier:
"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" ("It is sweet and your duty to die for your country")
Powerful words written ironically (echoing words used by women in favour of the war), made all the more poignant by his death just 7 days before the Armistice was signed. His mother learned of his death as the church bells peeled, signifying the end of the war |

"I love humanity, but I wonder at myself.
Because the more I love humanity in general,
The less I love man in particular"
