When You Can't Remember

When you can't remember why you're hurt, that's when you're healed."
Jane Fonda

Strangely enough, there is some truth to that statement!!  I never thought of it that way!

A Thought about Success From Prince

Success can also cause misery. The trick is not to be surprised when you discover it doesn't bring you all the happiness and answers you thought it would!

Prince

Kind of sad that life has to work that way!!

Wise but in Love??

“You can never be wise and be in love at the same time.”
Bob Dylan

I'm not sure that I agree with that... okay, just thought of a family member  who is about to get married. Maybe there is some truth in this after all. I guess that it is all in who you think about. At least Bob Dylan didn't thing that you could be wise and in love at the same time.

Death and taxes and childbirth! There's ever any convenient time for any of them.

Acting has destroyed my ego. I have very little self-repect now. I don't particularly admire actors, and so to be one is something I don't particularly admire.

A Quote By The King...

I get lonesome sometimes. Sometimes I get lonesome in the middle of a crowd.

It is hard to imagine that a man with so many people crowding around him for his attention could ever be lonely but I guess it's all in how you think about it.

Today's Quote about Men

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways, but the things that make me late are too strong and too pleasing.
Marilyn Monroe...

My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?

What would men be without women? Scarce, sir... mighty
scarce.
Mark Twain

Remember George, no man is a failure who has friends.
It's a Wonderful Life

Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance.
Oscar Wilde

Unknown






Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Katherine Hepburn

When you see a woman who can go nowhere without a staff of admirers, it is not so much because they think that she is beautiful, it is because she has told them that they are handsome.
Jean Giraudoux

In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Man, unlike anything organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments.
John Steinbeck

Quotes about Honesty

 It's amazing how many people never consider honesty as a trait that they believe in. Today, it seems that all that some businesses live for is how much money they can make and it doesn't matter who they have to cheat to get what they want.

Honesty makes me powerful in a difficult world.
Cher

Elizabeth Taylor Quotes

I went through a lot of Elizabeth Taylor Quotes and these were the ones that made me stop and look at them a second time! I have a woman's body and a child's emotions. “I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.” Elizabeth Taylor

“I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.” Elizabeth Taylor

“I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too – for being married so many times. “ Elizabeth Taylor

“It’s not the having, it’s the getting.” Elizabeth Taylor

This particular actress had to be my mom's all time favorite. Every time her name came up, mom would mention her eyes! I wonder what it takes to get violet colored eyes? I thought that you blue, green or brown! Violet... that takes some pondering!

Outlander by Diana Galbadon Quotes

8 1/2" Genuine Leather Weighted Bookmark - Brown

"His hand rested on my hair, and without knowing quite how it happened, I found myself curled against him, my head just fitting in the hollow of his shoulder. Diana Galbadon

I am just finishing my 3rd book in the Outlander series and thought that I would pick some of my favorite quotes from the series to entice you. If you are into time travel books... you will love these books and you will soon find yourself thinking... "wouldn't it be amazing if you could go back in time"?

For so many years," he said, "for so long, I have been so many things, so many different men." I felt him swallow, and he shifted slightly, the linen of his nightshirt rustling with starch. Diana Galbadon

I was Uncle to Jenny's children, and Brother to her and Ian. 'Milord' to Fergus, and 'Sir' to my tenants. 'Mac Dubh' to the men of Ardsmuir and 'MacKenzie' to the other servants at Helwater. 'Malcolm the printer,' then, and 'Jamie Roy' at the docks." The hand stroked my hair, slowly, with a whispering sound like the wind outside. "But here," he said, so softly I could barely hear him, "here in the dark, with you...I have no name." Diana Galbadon

"I thought the force of my wanting must wake ye, surely. And then ye did come. . ." He stopped, looking at me with eyes gone soft and dark. "Christ, Claire, ye were so beautiful, there on the stair, wi' your hair down and the shadow of your body with the light behind ye…." He shook his head slowly. "I did think I should die, if I didna have ye," he said softly. "Just then." Diana Galbadon

"Character, I think, is the single most important thing in fiction. You might read a book once for its interesting plot—but not twice." Diana Galbadon

Thoughts and Quotes About Baths

“They always gives me bath salts," complained Nobby. "And bath soap and bubble bath and herbal bath lumps and tons of bath stuff and I can't think why, 'cos it's not as if I hardly ever has a bath. You'd think they'd take the hint, wouldn't you?”
  Terry Pratchett, Hogfather 

There's nothing like a day in the backyard to make a really nasty bathtub ring.
Unknown... but probably a gardener!


It's just an ice bucket with a bottle in it. The two flute glasses are little tray. I got to shut the curtains. I'm in my boxer shorts and shirt. I'm going to take a bath and go to bed. But I want to shut the blinds so it's really dark in the room.
Danny DeVito

I'm obsessed with baths. I am such a bath person. I like to put baby oil in them.
Carmen Electra

I love doing normal things - movies,
shopping,
going out with friends, writing, reading,
taking hot bubble baths - that's a big one for relaxation.
I also love to go to art and history museums.
- Christina Aguilera

It's funny... I used to be obsessed with baths, especially when the kids were little. It was my escape for an hour or so and I loved every minute of it. Well, now the kids are grown and for some reason I can't seem to enjoy them the same way. They take too long. I want to get in and out of the shower as fast as I can?? Now what's with that??

“I think best in a hot bath, with my head tilted back and my feet up high.”
 Elizabeth Jane Howard, Mr. Wrong  

"I don't know when I began to get bored with the whole... taking a bath... thing. I guess it could have been when I dropped my library book into the bathtub!  Now... I just take a shower. Can't do much damage in there!!
Me :)

A Famous Mother's Quote

As a mother, you become aware of how selfish it is to be preoccupied with your appearance. I am also setting an example to Mia. Life is too short to get bogged down with that stuff!

Kate Winslet

I'm working on that issue right now. I don't need any more STUFF, especially when I know that I'm going to have to move it all in 5 years. My aim is to reduce so that I have less than I came for. And yes, this is coming from a shopaholic!!
