  • Once more she spoke. "How much do you love me, John?" she asked. He answered: "How much do I love you? Count the stars in the sky. Measure the waters of the oceans with a teaspoon. Number the grains of sand on the sea shore."
    "Impossible, you say? Yes, and it is just as impossible for me to say how much I love you. Everything must have an ending except my love for you."

    In the clearing stands a boxer
    And a fighter by his trade
    And he carries the reminders
    Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
    Or cut him till he cried out
    In his anger and his shame
    "I am leaving, I am leaving"
    But the fighter still remains

    Apologizing does not always mean that you’re wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

    No matter what your dream might be.

    yes.
    i think it reaches much farther -
    i actually thought of myself as soon as i read it. Wondering how often do i actually "listen" just to understand and hear the person speaking to me.

    thanks.

    i saw that somewhere and i am trying to work a bastardization of that line into a song i am working on. i think it is a good theme for art because it is true. but if i really want to use it i am finding that i am gonna blow up the whole song and change the arrangement, or create something else.

    the quote is a very simple view of a complex emotion. and i like things like that. as people can tell from my posts, i am not great at being concise so i like concise statements like that.

    You may as well put them up, gimme. You know what a relentless crowd we are. :lol:
    Besides, I'm guessing you are your own worst critic. ;)
