Johnny Diamond

A women said to me... "You scream dark side." I don't know why that is one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me. I know that's messed up. But I feel a surge of pride when I'm told that.
Ego fui infractus animi. Liberate mei doleo per amor.
Nosce te ipsum.
Mundus vult decipi, ergo ego vos decipi mundus.
Nihil est--In vita priore ego imperator romanus fui!
Nemo saltat sobrius nisi forte insanit.
Ego fortuna amicos parat, inopia amicos probat.
Amor animi arbitrio sumitur, non ponitur.
Dum spiro, spero.
Amor vincit omnia.
Liberate te ex inferis.
Omnis homo bara.
Caesar si viveret, ad remum dareris.
Hmm? Ego Video! Locutus caecus homo.
Hmm? I see! Said the blind man.
I have a special collection of friends going. Like rare gems. At some time all of them have been abandoned and forgotten by people who didn't appreciate their value. Maybe we all need a little work. Maybe we're all in the rough. But when I see the sparkle in each one of my friends the value to me is obvious. Each one so unique and beautiful. To me each one is a diamond and that makes me one of the richest men in the world.
OH MY GOD HOW CHEESY IS THAT?

Humphrey Bogart:
“If a face like Ingrid Bergman's looks at you as though you're adorable, everybody does. You don't have to act very much.”

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world she walks into mine. I should have never switched from scotch to martinis."

Betty Friedan- The Feminine Mystique:

Know this: What you expect of the world, you experience in the world. What you think of and believe in life manifests. What you think of you constantly create.
Carlos Casteneda quotes:
“A warrior must only take care that his spirit is not broken”
“We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”
“A warrior takes responsibility for his acts, for the most trivial of acts. An average man acts out his thoughts, and never takes responsibility for what he does.”
“To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.”
“The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.”
“The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse”
