"The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in. Maybe I should hold with care but my hands are busy in the air"

"Full moon illuminates my room and sends my mind aflight"

DISCONNECT AND LET ME DRIFT

"Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go and higher than the heights of what we often think we know. Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees to obtain a bird's eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze" -INCUBUS

TONIGHT WE DRINK TO YOUTH...

"Pretend that I am weightless and in this moment I am happy"

"Throw me to the sky because I know I'm coming back"

"The disco fiend with the monster sound"

THEORY ON BEAUTY

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

DREAMS

"The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities."

"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."

ABANDON HOPE.

"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together. There is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I will always be with you."

A TOAST.

Here’s to the happy man: All the world loves a lover.

SEAMLESS ENDS AND BEGINNINGS

“Sleep she as sound as careless infancy” Shakespeare

PEMA

"To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again."

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

WILLY WONKA

"We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams."

"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturg and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."

'TIS THE SEASON

"But for now, let me say - without hope or agenda, just because it's Christmas and at Christmas you tell the truth - to me, you are perfect. And my wasted heart will love you. Until you look like this [picture of mum]. Merry Christmas."

INFINATE LOVE

"I love you through and through. I love your top side, I love your bottom side. I love your inside and outside. I love your happy side, your sad side. Your silly side and mad side, I love your fingers and toes, your ears and nose. I love your hair and eyes, your giggles and cries. I love you running and walking. Silent and talking. I love you through and through, yesterday, today and tomorrow too."

Saul Williams, Psychedelic Kiss

"Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation. Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamorphosis when you became aware that the greatness of this being was breathing into you. Licking the sides and corners of your mouth, like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes filled with the essence of your passionate being and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again - the first kiss of the rest of your life. A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned, that the world's greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. With or without a belief in God, all kisses are metaphors decipherable by allocations of time, circumstance, and understanding"

GHANDI

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"

"Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild..."

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped in dogma-which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

DR. SEUSS...

TODAY YOU ARE YOU, THAT IS TRUER THAN TRUE. THERE IS NO ONE ALIVE THAT IS YOUER THAN YOU.

"The best day of your life is the one in which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins."

"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare yourself to pick up the peices when it's all over."

"There is always some maddness in love. But there is also always some reason for maddness."

PASHA MALLA

“If she loves you, if she really loves you, you’ll know it. If you can wake up to her staring at you and it’s not even mildly creepy, if you catch her smelling the shoulder of the hooded sweatshirt you lent her for an autumn walk at the beach, and not for B.O., if she makes you a pancake in the shape of a shark, if she calls you drunkenly at four in the morning “to talk,” if she laughs at your jokes when they’re funny and makes fun of you when they’re not, if she keeps her fridge stocked with Guinness tallboys for when you come over, if she tells you how she wishes she were closer to her sister and that her dad makes her sad: She loves you, of course she loves you.”

GROWING PAINS

"Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves... for growing up.”

"Don’t hurry, don’t worry. You’re only here for a short visit. So be sure to stop and smell the flowers."

"Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air."

BE

SURF FREELY

"Happiness is not a matter of events, it depends upon the tides of the mind."

"In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet."

JUST DANCE

“Be careless in your dress if you will, but keep a tidy soul.”

BEING FREE

“There is no unhappiness like the misery of sighting land (and work) again after a cheerful, careless voyage”

AUSTRALIA LIVIN'

"I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many years you have lived."

THOSE SOMETIMES MOMENTS

“Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.”
