Quote of the Day

"Your 20s are your 'selfish' years.  It's a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible.  Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you.  Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground."
- Kyoko Escamilla

Quote of the Day

"Greetings from sunny Seattle.  Where women are gals, people are folks.  You can't sit Indian-style but you can sit criss-cross applesauce...Boyfriends and girlfriends are partners, nobody swears but someone might occasionally drop the F-bomb.  You're allowed to cough, but only into your elbow.  And any request, reasonable or unreasonable, is met with no worries."
- Maria Semple, Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

"Doing a little work makes goofing off more fun."

Quote of the Day

"I want someone who will be monogamous and nice to his mother.  I want someone who likes musicals but knows to just shut his mouth when I'm watching Lost.  And I want someone who thinks being really into cars is lame and strip clubs are gross.  I want someone who will actually empty the dishwasher instead of just taking out forks as needed (like I do).  I want someone with clean hands and feet and beefy forearms like a damn Disney prince.  And I want him to genuinely like me.  Even when I'm old.  And that's what I want."
- Liz Lemon, 30 Rock 4.17

Quote of the Day

Quote of the Day

"A little library, growing larger every year, is an honorable part of a man's history.  It is a man's duty to have books.  A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessaries of life."

- Edward P. Morgan

Quote of the Day

“Music is a total constant.  That's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know?  Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person.  No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.”
- Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

"If I don't stand out like a star among the moons,
If I am always late and he always backs away too soon..."
