“Devise some creed, and live it, beyond theirs,Or I shall think you but their spendthrift heirs.”

“We are such spendthrifts with our lives, the trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.”

“About your easy heads my prayersI said with syllables of clay.What gift, I asked, shall I bring nowBefore I weep and walk away?Take, they replied, the oak and laurel.Take our fortune of tears and liveLike a spendthrift lover. All we askIs the one gift you cannot give.”

“you think I"m that desperate?""The raging hard-on jabbing at me says yes."~Creed/Annika”

“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.-- Matthew 5”

“Not only is this not love; I think it is the most diabolical unfairness that was ever taught or devised.”
