Quotes
I've read a few quotes lately that have stuck in my head...
It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.
- Frederick Douglass, 1817 - 1895
(I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this quote)
No man means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.
- Henry Brooks Adams, 1838 - 1918
It seems to me that the soul, when alone with itself and speaking to itself, uses only a small number of words, none of them extraordinary.
- Paul Ambroise Valéry, 1871 - 1945
And on that note, I'll just say that I'm tired and lonely and as much as I don't want company, I don't want to spend tonight alone.
And to all a good night.

Why is it so difficult to learn?
"When people show you who they are, believe them!"
This is a quote that a friend of mine repeats to me pretty often - apparently I have a hard time learning that lesson. Today, I actually had the opportunity to pass on that wisdom... Hopefully we will both truly learn to do that.
I mean, how many chances am I going to give someone to prove to me that they are different than what they are showing me?
