Gotye- Somebody that I used to know
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1HcTZW4o4A&feature=related
Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end, always the end So when we...

My love is a stockpile of broken wills Like Santa Fe, margaritas and sleeping pills I want to lie in the cracks of this lonely road I can fill in the blanks every time you don’t phone Here is the truth, I swear it used to be fun Go ahead run, run, run, run

And if if makes you less sad we’ll start talking again
And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am
I’ll grow old and start acting my age
I’ll be a brand new day in a life that you hate.
If it makes you less sad I’ll move out of the state
You can keep to yourself I’ll keep out of your way
And if it makes you less sad I’ll take all your pictures...
Fly away on my zephyr I feel it more then ever And in this perfect weather Well find a place together
In the water where the scent of my emotion All the world will pass me by Fly away on my zephyr Well find a place together
Love this quote
“Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back. And it’s fine if you as an adult want to run around pretending or claiming that you don’t believe in evolution, but if we educate a generation of people who don’t believe in science, that’s a recipe for disaster. We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting....

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” ― Frank Zappa
“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”
-Alan Watts, “The culture of counter-culture.”

May good fortune be with you May your guiding light be strong Build a stairway to...

Graham Greene quotes
“The sense of unhappiness is so much easier to convey than that of happiness. In misery we seem aware of our own existence, even though it may be in the form of a monstrous egotism: this pain of mine is individual, this nerve that winces belongs to me and to no other. But happiness annihilates us: we lose our identity.”
“Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time,...
Colm Toibin Quotes
“..Some of our loves and attachments are elemental and beyond our choosing, and for that very reason they come spiced with pain and regret and need and hollowness and a feeling as close to anger as I will ever be able to imagine. ”
“I dreamed of set it up out here in front of where I am sitting now, on the tripod that I would have ordered too, and starting, taking my time, to focus on a...

And there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears. And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. Get over your hill and see what you find there, With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
In my physics book:
“I have lost the half of myself-a soul for which mine was made.”

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” — Mark Twain
“I cannot remember much, I cannot feel much. Maybe erasure is necessary. Maybe the human spirit defends itself as the body does, attacking infection, enveloping and destroying those malignancies that would otherwise consume us.”

You’re brought back but you’re running I fell asleep at the incline I can’t shake this little feeling I’ll never get anything right

“Falling in love, we said; I fell for him. We were falling women. We believed in it, this downward motion: so lovely, like flying, and yet at the same time so dire, so extreme, so unlikely. God is love, they once said, but we reversed that, and love, like heaven, was always just around the corner. The more difficult it was to love the particular man beside us, the more we believed in...
margaret atwood quotes
“If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next — if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions — you’d be doomed. You’d be ruined as God. You’d be a stone. You’d never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the morning. You’d never dare to.”

From the moment her arms wrapped around my chest and her head found its place against my shoulder, I knew beyond a doubt that I would never think of five feet as too short ever again.
