Hi there Mimi, I can't seem to decide on a favourite, so here are the ones I decided on:
1. Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" Have a wonderful day!
2. The sun has got to shine on a dog's as* sometimes.
3. The people that matter don't mind, and the people that mind don't matter.
All the best! :o)

Leonard asks me if there's anything I need to know before he dies, I think about it for a minute, turn to him, say what's the meaning of life, leonard? He laughs, says that's an easy one, my son, It's whatever you want it to be.

Let's face it, Americans are fat all year round, but the holidays are when we really hit our stride. And you can bet the food we eat will be just as unhealthy as the families we're forced to visit. - George Carlin

Life is made up of years that mean nothing, and moments that mean everything...

Life is not a spectator sport; win, lose or draw, the game is in progress whether we want it to be or not. So go ahead, argue with the refs, change the rules, cheat a little, take a break and tend to your wounds. But play hard, play fast, play loose and free; play as if theres no tomorrow. Ok so, It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game

Life, it turns out, goes on. There is no cosmic rule that grants you immunity from the details just because you have come face-to-face with a catastrophe

I am so busy doing nothing... that the idea of doing anything - which as you know, always leads to something - cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything.

For fear it would make me conservative when old.

I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. - Henry David Thoreau

I would never wanna belong to any club that would have someone like me for member.

If you want crappy things to stop happening to you then stop accepting crap and demand something more

It is not ignorance that is the problem, but the illusion of knowledge

I thought about building you a boat to survive the river of tears I'm crying for you, but the world's smallest violins just aren't a reliable source of lumber, and that cross you're nailing yourself to seems like it's bouyant enough anyways

I'd like to say that you're smarter then you look but then I'd be lying.

"Sanity is madness put to good use."

"Choose life. Choose a family. Choose your friends. Choose a job. Choose 7 months partying, three weeks cramming. Choose cigarettes, alcohol and coffee. Choose boys. Choose girls. Choose both. Choose your future. But why would anyone want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons"

Answer 6

The sky is deep, the sky is dark
The light of stars is so damn stark.
When I look up, I fill with fear
If all we have is what lies here.
This lonely world, this troubled place
Then cold dead stars and empty space.
Well, I see no reason to persevere
No reason to laugh or shed a tear.
No reason to sleep or ever to wake
No promises to keep, and none to make.
And so at night I still raise my eyes
To study the clear but mysterious skies
That arch above us as cold as stone.
Are you there, God? Are we alone?
The Book of Counted Sorrows

Answer 7

The most beautiful army in the world, with its pennons and plumes, its tiger-skin turbans and classical helmets, its shakos, shapskas and kolbachs, broke into panic cries of "Treachery!" as the Prussians, whom Napoleon had falsely said were Grouchy's troops, poured down to the Brussels road and hunted them to the frontier.

A Question
"A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth."
-Robert Frost

Answer 10

'Beauty is a form of genius-indeed higher than genius as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world like sunlight, springtime and the reflection on the dark water of that silvery shell we call the moon'-Oscar Wilde
