    "Observing the shades
    Interpreting signs
    Reporting the patterns
    Row by line

    Elegiacal psalms I live and tell
    Spun and woven
    Like threads in the tapestry"

    Love me when I least deserve it,

    "Timothy Leary's dead.
    No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
    Timothy Leary's dead.
    No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.
    He'll fly his astral plane,
    Takes you trips around the bay,
    Brings you back the same day,
    Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

    Along the coast you'll hear them boast
    About a light they say that shines so clear.
    So raise your glass, we'll drink a toast
    To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier.

    He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,
    He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground.
    He flies so high, he swoops so low,
    He knows exactly which way he's gonna go.
    Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary."

    "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." - Nelson Mandela

    (I came, I saw, and am STILL trying to conquer some of those fuckers)

    Paul - the Blues? I used to have a double cassette of their best hits :mrgreen:

    “All I wanted was a little piece of life, to be married, to have children.... I was trying my damndest to lead a conventional life, for that was how I was brought up, and it was what my husband wanted of me.
    But one can't build little white picket fences to keep the nightmares out.”


    ― Anne Sexton

    "I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad.
    Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between..."

    "Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it.
    I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted....."

    We especially need imagination in science.
    It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry...

    - Sylvia Plath,
    It's the "either-or" thing that gets me. Life combines it all.

    Too bad she took a different path, couldn't see beyond the choices she laid upon herself.

    On this glorious morning, I'm right here -

    "Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."

    Thanks for sharing the above... I've been reading Sylvia's poems/quotes and about her short lived life. What a shame that you feel so depressed that living is too difficult and commiting suicide is a better option.

    She killed herself in her early 30's and at a time where medical advancement is not where it is now. Electroshock therapy :shock:
