“It’s so easy to sit there and say you’d like to have more money. And I guess that’s what I like about it. It’s easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money.”
-Jack Handey
Among the blues
quicker than rumour
Before the praising eyes
dodging the licking hands
Grow up my Little love
to laugh green
GREEN over our ashes.
-by Maitraye Das
Oh, bend your eyes, nor send your glance about.
Oh, watch your feet, nor stray beyond the kerb.
Oh, bind your heart lest it find secrets out.
For thus no punishment
Of magic shall disturb
Your very great content.

“He…hello! Is it the cops?”
“Yes madam, how can I help you?”
“Mm…my husband, he hit me.”
The line went dead.
Knock, knock!

They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And along the trampled edges of the street
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.
The brown waves of fog toss up to me
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.
-T.S. Eliot
“I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous – everyone hasn’t met me yet.”
-Rodney Dangerfield
There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self confidence.”

a very many things have happened since i saw her last i think its been over a decade every morning i go out the place where she catches her school bus from then in the time after the noon i go out to look out for her school drop this thing happens i dont know why but for all these years i just couldnt find myself at the same time as her which inadvertantly resulted in our not meeting thats the reason i believe i am always late everywhere or maybe the cause causes the effect after this in the evenings i go into all the playfieds to catch a glimpse of her playing with her friends but same old thing happens once a more so this was what was the routine until today today i saw her coming alongwith her mates i rushed across hurriedly to meet her but but she had already left

“Living apart and at peace with myself, I came to realize more vividly the meaning of the doctrine of acceptance. To refrain from giving advice, to refrain from meddling in the affairs of others, to refrain, even though the motives be the highest, from tampering with another’s way of life – so simple, yet so difficult for an active spirit. Hands off!”
-Henry Miller
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the mourning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
-William Butler Yeats

“And so, in my State of the – my State of the Union – or state – my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation – I asked Americans to give 4,000 years – 4,000 hours over the next – the rest of your life – of service to America. That’s what I asked – 4,000 hours.”
-George W. Bush, Bridgeport, Conn., April 9, 2002
“I don’t like it.”
“What do you mean you don’t like it? It was your idea; remember?
“I never thought you were serious about the whole affair.”
“I don’t care what you thought, you’ve got to do it,” he said, pointing the gun at him.
“Okay, okay,” he said, standing up.
