"I got my start by giving myself a start" ~ Madam C. J. Walker
You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? Sheâs not perfect - you arenât either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So donât hurt her, donât change her, donât analyze and donât expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when sheâs not there.
- Bob Marley
"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed ...Expand for more
my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind."
Bertrand Russell
"The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool."
Stephen King, Needful Things
"The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance ... logic can be happily tossed out the window."
Stephen King, The Stand
"No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves."
Stephen King
"Only a fool speculates about the life of a woman!"
"Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty." Stephen King".
More about Melissa:"this is what you shall do: love the earth and the sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning god, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem....~Walt Whitman".
