The Good Word - barats and bereta
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids....

I'd like to meet:

If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. - Mitch Hedberg

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart - Regina Spektor

I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

"Do they collide?"
I ask and you smile.
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter.

When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride
When you need directions then I'll be the guide
For all time. - Death Cab For Cutie

----------------------

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell. - Joan Crawford

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. - Franklin P. Jones

Love is the irresistible desire to be desired irresistably. - Louis Ginsburg

Love is the great beautifier. - Louisa May Alcott

Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. - H.L. Mencken

All love is transference, nothing more than two normal neurotics mingling their infantile libidos with one another. - Sigmund Freud

Brief is life, but love is long. - Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Love is everything it's cracked up to be. - Erica Long

Life is a flower of which love is the honey. - Victor Hugo

Love is an ideal thing, marriage is a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished. - Goethe

Love is the reason you were born. - Dorothy Fields

The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end. - Benjamin Disraeli

True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen. - La Rochefoucauld

Love is life. All, everything I understand, I understand only because I love. - Leo Tolstoy

Love stinks. - J. Geils Band

----------------------

A poet is an unhappy being whose heart it torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: "Sing for us soon again;" that is as much as to say. "May new sufferings torment your soul." - Soren Kierkegaard

And between the eyes, You get me every time.
I’ve wrapped myself in fear, now I can’t shine.
Between the eyes, You get me every time.
Get me outta here. Check me outta here.
I wanna shine. - The Elms

Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
- Eisley

It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it. - Arnold Toynbee

The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder. -Alfred Hitchcock

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other. - Jack Handey

What do we live for if not to make life less difficult for each other? - George Eliot

True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable. -David Tyson Gentry

It's the friends you can call up at 4:00 a.m. that really matter. -Marlene Dietrich

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar. -Robert Brault

Wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dreams come true - Lorentz Hart

What I like in a good author is not what he says, but what he whispers - Logan Pearsall Smith

Speech is the small change of silence - George Meredith

If you are seeking creative ideas, go walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk. - Ramond Inmom

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library. - Jorge Luis Borges

Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue. - Eugene Gladstone O'Neill
