Let me not to the marriage of true minds (Sonnet CXVI)

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

-- William Shakespeare

It seems Israel was created by the League of Nations and the United States in response to the horrific events of WWII - and I was just wondering if the state of Israel would have been created if WWII or the Holocaust never happened. What do you think?

and, if you feel like it, how did you come to this opinion?

Mainly, though, I'm curious what the people here think of Nietzsche...

Thanks!

I have been interested in knowing how to achieve the effect of film on a picture.

I have tried to google photoshop tutorials but it is hard to find the specific one.

What programs do the art or media people use in the film industry to achieve a very saturated yet clean look on an image.

All the pictures I take are really "raw" real and so I would like to achieve the effect without damaging the quality of the image.

Any good suggestions? Any good tutorials? Any good program? What do professionals use to create those great images in billboards and CD covers?

here is an example: Did these pictures were taken out of the original film and then retouched or are they taken with a camara and then retouch?

I just bought a cannon A640 for a trip I'm taking to Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights. I can program a few custom settings into my camera. What do you think would be the best settings to setup?

It has a lot of options.

There are many liberal scholars that would say that many of the Old Testament prophecies were written after the event that was prophecied took place. I am trying to come to grips with the reality of the Old Testament prophecies and believe so to speak, but this is just something that I have to know. What proof is there that validates the Old Testament books being written before the prophecied events took place. Please don't give me an answer like,"Well just believe." I just can't at this point. Faith is an important aspect, but I have some mind barriers that need to be cleared before the Truth can get to my heart :-). Help me out here guys. Thanks.

Writers should know their characters, especially trivial things like what they like to eat for breakfast. Interviewing a character is a great idea, but it seems like all of the answers would just be pulled from what you like. So how should one go about getting answers from their characters, and disregarding what they themselves would answer? And without just randomly making something up?

Our theatre group (high school level) is doing a devising class, which is where everyone collectively writes a play. Our director wants us to bring in pictures of scenes which convey our theme, "Fitting In."

It would be great if you could help me find some good pictures (ex. One person sitting alone while everyone else is chatting), but I need them by tomorrow morning (Friday the 21st).

Please don't send me responses telling me to Google "Fitting In" - I'm quite able to do that myself (and no, that hasn't yielded any responses.

So I'd love links to images, please.

Thanks so much!!!

I'm not using special kind of camera just a Canon PowerShot A530 and I was just wondering what you guys thought of these pictures. I am trying to get some money together to get a better camera but this is all i have for now. They probably aren't the best but I was just trying it and wanted to see what others thought.

I share the flow of life with you
I feel the things you feel
I sense your moments of concern
The depths you reveal

My spirit filters in to you
As yours slips in to mine
I think of us as just one person
As our hearts combine

I draw you close and gather in
Your gifts of energy
Our one and one are meshed as two
And the two blend perfectly

We're closer than we've ever been
we're unified in dreams
There's is joy in our together
we are living precious themes

Eternity has lent us space
Our moments are too few
I'am grateful that you're part of me
And I am part of you

These delusions, such illusions
My mind is drowning, can't contain
Glass is shattering
Rain pitter, pattering
Knock, knock, knocking on imaginations door
I'm trapped within myself,
Growing is such pain
You walk away, you leave me crying
You used to love me,
You used to care
What happened to our memories?
What happened to our creation?
Such love and tenderness,
Gone, gone away
You used to show me whats it's like to be cared for,
Now it's nothing but arguments

Mind keeps growing can't contain
He's the illusationist,
Who made me believe

He's the illusionist,
Who made me believe

That there was someone out there for me...
That someone could be patient enough to care for me...

Can't bare the thought of losing you,
You say you want me,

Then prove it to me....

his eyes were a mix of green and blue
shining like the ocean
but rough
like the wild.
he stood there
conforming his body
reminding me of a fierce lion
standing on it's hind legs.
and there he stood
his tan skin glowing
against the dark night around us
he seemed so brave
not afraid
to jump off world's end.
yet when he came closer
he became scared and weak
and as I came closer
I felt understanding and fierce
though my heart was shivering.
we finished our
words. leaving
the conversation to be
left in the night air
i stood there
as his footsteps echoed
hoping for more.
but there was
nothing.
nothing.
nothing.



this is a free-verse i wrote. im right now 15 and have been writing poems as a child
please, opinions would be very appreciated
harsh criticism is welcomed also
thanks

A perfect god cannot create without discontent. Rather to say he would have to be unsatisfied with what he already has to create anything. How do people get around this?

like plus sizes (like tracy in hairspray)
and hispanic or asian or black people. i have a lot of talent but it seems like there are no roles in broadway or musicals i'd fit! help!
