Days Go By

Mankind, probably the most mysterious species on our planet. A mystery of open questions. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we know what we believe to know? Why do we believe anything at all? Innumerable questions looking for an answer, an answer which will raise the next question and the following answer will raise a following question and so on and so forth. But in the end, isn't it always the same question and always the same answer?

There's always a salad. I've never eaten so much salad. And strawberries. I bet I eat a half-pound of strawberries a day.

- Jean-Jacques Rousseau

1 apple, 1 pear, 4 strawberries, a handful of chopped up walnuts, 2 packages of jello, and it's my second attempt at this tasty treat... we'll see how well I did tomorrow.

In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place today, it is vain to seek it there tomorrow. You can not lay a trap for it.

- Alexander Smith

Objects we ardently pursue bring little happiness when gained; most of our pleasures come from unexpected sources.

I'm expect to be in pain tomorrow after wearing heals all day, I love to dress up, but heals hurt my poor feet. It shall be a long day, but eventful.

Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he wanted and then lost it. Maybe Rosebud was something he couldn't get, or something he lost. Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything... I don't think any word can explain a man's life. No, I guess Rosebud is just a... piece in a jigsaw puzzle... a missing piece.

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow.

He did not wear his scarlet coat, For blood and wine are red, And blood and wine were on his hands When they found him with the dead, The poor dead woman whom he loved, And murdered in her bed.

- Oscar Wilde

It's a marvelous night for a moondance,
With the stars up above in your eyes,
A fantabulous night to make romance
'neath the cover of October skies,
and all the leaves on the trees are falling,
To the sound of the breezes that blow,
And I'm trying to please to the calling,
Of your hear-strings that play soft and low,

- Van Morrison, "Moondance"

May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night and a smooth road all the way to your door.

- Irish Blessing

Sleep is supposed to be
By souls of sanity
The shutting of the eye.
Sleep is the station grand
Down which, on either hand
The hosts of witness stand!
Mom is supposed to be
By people of degree
The breaking of the Day.
Morning has not occurred!
That shall Aurora be--
East of Eternity--
One with the banner gay--
One in red array--
This is the break of Day!

- Emily Dickinson, "Sleep is supposed to be"

Happiness is like perfume: You can't give it away without getting a little on yourself.

Texican is nothin' but a human man way out on a limb, this year and next. Maybe for a hundred more. But I don't think it'll be forever. Some day, this country's gonna be a fine, good place to be. Maybe it needs our bones in the ground before that time can come.

- The Searchers

You'll come to see that a man learns nothing from winning. The act of losing, however, can elicit great wisdom. Not least of which is, uh... how much more enjoyable it is to win. It's inevitable to lose now and again. The trick is not to make a habit of it.

- A Good Year

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

- Danny Boy, Irish Song

Talking about a bunch of shift work
A big ol' pile of shift work
Work seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven

Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze...

- Sunrise, Sunset, "Fiddler on the Roof"

The photographic image is the object itself, the object freed from the conditions of time and space that govern it. No matter how , fuzzy, distorted, or discolored, no matter how lacking in documentary value the image can be, it shares, by virtue of the very process of its becoming, the being of the model of which it is the reproduction; it is the model.

- André Bazin, The Ontology of the Photographic Image

Mamma said "Idle hands are
Devil's handy work
Oh the trouble you'll get into
When you got nothin' better to do...

Food, glorious food!
Don't care what it looks like --
Burned!
Underdone!
Crude!
Don't care what the cook's like.
Just thinking of growing fat --
Our senses go reeling
One moment of knowing that
Full-up feeling!

- Food, Glorious Food, "Oliver"

Ain't nothing out here but me, the road and the radio
Looking for an exit and a song that I might know
Counting down the memories and adding up the miles
Searching for a feeling I ain't felt in a while.

- Kenny Chesney, "The Road and the Radio"

There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!

I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight.

and he's just a penguin's bitch.

A slash of Blue,
A sweep of Gray,
Some scarlet patches on the way,
Compose an Evening Sky,
A little purple-- slipped between,
Some Ruby Trousers hurried on,
A Wave of Gold,
A Bank of Day,
This just makes out the Morning Sky.

- Emily Dickinson, "A Slash of Blue"

It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair,
So we keep on waiting,
Waiting on the world to change.
