One of Masha's favorite quotes is:"if YOu LoVE soMeTHiNg, Set iT FREE:
...if it comes back, it was and always will be yours.
...if it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.
...if it just sits in your living room, eats your food, messes up your stuff, takes, your money, and never behaves as if you set it free in the first place, then you either married or gave birth to it.
"if you live 100 years, i wish to live 100 minus one day so that i wouldn't have to live a day without you."
"even a clock that is broken is right twice a day."
"freedom of speech is the right to scream "theatre" in a crowd screaming "fire"."
"if you want to be happy; be."
"I wish for peace, serinity, and happiness... and sexiness."
"not all who wonder are lost."
"my life whispers a sweet symphony, but my <3 aches for a storm of music... i'll be home some day xx"
a girl was strolling through the park, happy, exhubrent. she walked up to the pond to see if there was any wild-life swimming in it. she became mesmerized by the shimmering schools of fish. smiling as she walked on, a man approached her. "excuse me, excuse me, miss."
"yes?" she paused, still joyful.
"be careful. they say der's somefing in da water, like a lochness monster or somefing. you're too pretty. da world needs ta see ya."
unable to contain laughter, she felt happiness. "thank you," she proclaimed. "Have a nice day."
we affect people, even if we don't notice it. people sense when one is happy, wishing well, hopeful. share happiness with the world.
" I think maybe I'm just partly yellow and partly the type that doesn't give much of a damn if they lose their gloves."
"This fall I think you're riding for - it's a special kind of fall, a horrible kind. The man falling isn't permitted to feel or hear himself hit ...Expand for more
bottom. He just keeps falling and falling. The whole arrangement's designed for men who, at some time or other in their lives, were looking for something their own environment couldn't supply them with. Or they thought their own environment couldn't supply them with. So they gave up looking. They gave it up before they ever really even got started."
"Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."
"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."
"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."
"I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery."
"Anyway, I'm sort of glad they've got the atomic bomb invented. If there's ever another war, I'm going to sit right the hell on top of it. I'll volunteer for it, I swear to God I will."
"Take most people, they're crazy about cars. They worry if they get a little scratch on them, and they're always talking about how many miles they get to a gallon, and if they get a brand-new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that's even newer. I don't even like old cars. I mean they don't even interest me. I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake."".
