One of Janet's favorite quotes is:"The Light shines in the darkness & the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1:5) I mean being any kind of happy is better than being miserable about someone you can’t have…. (— Breaking Dawn, Part 1) "Sometimes the things that make us most happy cost nothing at all" ..Tell everyone you care about - that you love their Bloodstained Hearts. -- Darren Hayes "Kate Winslet is one of my dearest friends. We have the ultimate trust in each other and the best of intentions for what we want to do" -- Leonardo DiCaprio What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. -- Pope Benedict XVI *sigh* God doesn't Hate. -- Adam Lambert (on his twitter) "You want me to show you the goods? That's another show" -- (Adam Lambert) I like your shirt! - Adam Lambert to me, July 12 2010 "We Irish like to think we played a part in building this majestic skyline" - Bono - 12 September 2009 Soldier Field Amazing crowd in Lansing tonight. :)) -- Adam Lambert "I think about the fans that I've met who are unhappy with the way they look...and who suffer hideous eating disorders and I just want to say I LOVE YOU...YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE." -- Darren Hayes "You smell so good!" - Darren to me April 17, 2004 at the Indianapolis Listening Party "See ya gorg(eous).." -- Darren to me at the Borders Chicago "Delicate" cd signing November 16 2007 When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end... —Bella Swan, Twilight Sometime my lack of filter gets me in trouble. I have a big mouth --- Adam Lambert "Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you're born to stand out?" feel free to leave all bears in the hotel room Rose hehe xD (--Darren Hayes) Mo cuishlé..Tá Mé i nGrá Leat ...Is tú grá mo chroí... "Life is all about taking risks to get what you want." --- Adam Lambert "Love overcomes hate. Love has no color. ..All is love." --- Adam Lambert "You should own who you are and what you're about, and never make apologies for it."--- Adam Lambert "If we don't change, we don't grow If we don't grow then we aren't really living" --Darren Hayes "Let me give you a lesson about school. All the kids that were popular end up on the dole with babies. All the nerds end up stars."--Darren Hayes "We're gonna take you on a tour, through here (points to heart). It's gonna get a little dark but I will see you on the other side." -- Darren Hayes Working hard is the only difference between being good and being the best. --- Nadia Comaneci "Remember...your most attractive features are your heart and soul...not the shell, but the spirit contained within." -- Darren Hayes Someone once asked Gerald McRaney how he felt about his wife's (Delta Burke) yo-yo-ing weight. His response: "Let me tell you something, buddy. Love is *not* a dress size." "Don't punish yourself for what others have done to you. You're better than them. You're better than you think." ----Mia Tyler Glamour Magazine shout-out...Chloe Marshall (contestant for Miss England)... the 17 year old "ambassador for curves" "Too many women are obsessed with their weight. The images we see everyday on TV and in magazines send us the message that every woman sho...Expand for more
uld look like a model." -- Nadia Comaneci "I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick." "There isn't a day that goes by when there isn't another sort of 'Look-who's-the-thinnest-thing'. It really upsets me, it really does. What's that telling people? Is that a good message? I don't think so."--Kate Winslet Its always belonged to you will you keep it safe? Keep a weather eye on the horizon --Will Turner "I think that's what's really beautiful about music, that it is little pieces of your heart and soul." -- Darren Hayes Hayes also recalls a 1998 meeting with Bono – whose music he worshipped as a young fan. The pair met backstage at a Sydney performance for U2's PopMart tour. "Savage Garden had first peaked, we'd had our first number one in America," he says. "Bono said, `How are you coping?" and I said, `I'm good, I feel really grateful, I feel really blessed. But sometimes I'm on stage and all I hear is the girls screaming and I just want them to listen to my voice." And he grabbed my hand and put it on his heart and he said, `If the music comes from here, then it'll scream louder than all the voices.' -- Darren Hayes "Never recreate from your memory. Always imagine new places." -INCEPTION Oh, yeah… Love. Once upon a time, it was…simple. If you liked somebody, you let 'em know. And if you didn't, you let 'em know. One way or another, you knew where you stood. But as you get older, communication gets more complicated. All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope... all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect... who might be searching for us. --"The Wonder Years" "...There are jobs for people who want to work, although maybe not the jobs these people desire. If it were up to me, they'd be rounded up and forced to clear the litter from the highways 8 hours a day. Work never harmed anyone!..." (From a television without pity forum Judge Judy post) “What the mind can conceive, the mind can achieve and those who stay will be champions.” "The team the team the team" “When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft; on the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing.” “I love to win. Love it. Football is just too hard and too tough if you’re not successful. This isn’t just recreation, and the sport isn’t for everybody. I just don’t want to expend all this time and effort and come up short.” ""This is America, the land of opportunity, not the land of entitlement." “If I make a mistake, I’m going to make a mistake aggressively and I’m going to make it quickly. I don’t believe in sleeping on a decision.” -- Bo Schembechler". More about Janet:"I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. -- "The Holiday"".
