About Me

Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. Except in cases of necessity, which are rare, leave your friend to learn unpleasant things from his enemies; they are ready enough to tell them.--- Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894), The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table, 1858

My Interests

INTEREST---feeling that accompanies or causes special attention to an object or class of objects : something that arouses such attention : a quality in a thing arousing interest

I'd like to meet:

Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.--- Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850), Woman in the Nineteenth Century, 184

Music:

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.--- George Eliot (1819 - 1880)

Movies:

Forrest Gump, Jerry Maguire, Hannibal, Silence of the lambs, Red Drgaon, The Green Mile, Mission Impossible, Lord of the Rings, Matrix..........and the list goes on..........

Television:

TV is chewing gum for the eyes.--- Frank Lloyd Wright (1869 - 1959)Imitation is the sincerest form of television.--- Fred Allen (1894 - 1956)

Books:

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.--- Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926), The Happy Life, 1896

Heroes:

We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.--- Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)
