Quote of the Day

It’s much better to age disgracefully! Take it on the chin, and roll with it. You die young, or you get older. There is nothing in between! You may as well enjoy it. My mother once said, ‘Never worry about getting older. I know the thought of you being 45 when you’re 25 is, Oh, my god! Who wants to be 45? But it’s amazing because when you get to be 45, you’ll realize it’s actually very cool and you don’t want to be 25 again.’ And I have to say, she was absolutely right. With every age comes advantages and disadvantages. And you tend to find that you don’t want to go back. You want to be exactly where you are with everything you’ve experienced.” ~ Helen Mirren

Quote of the Day

The modern GOP has given us Nixon, Agnew, Bush II, Cheney, and now Trump and Pence. Plus the Religious Right, the Tea Party, the Freedom Caucus, and has granted the NRA’s every wish. From cunning crooks to war crimes criminals to corrupt authoritarians. It is all down hill, and getting worse fast.” ~ John Dean

Quote of the Day

I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.” ~ Unknown

Quote of the Day

A soulmate is someone who is willing to grow with you, who chooses to be with you until the end, and will love you through good and bad. It’s not about sunshine and laughter, it’s about mundane moments filled with unknowns.” ~ T.B. LaBerge

Quote of the Day

Trump’s rage over the anonymity of the whistleblower may seem excessive, but it has its own logic. Anonymity means Trump can’t give the person an insulting nickname, can’t call him or her ugly or fat, can’t use his surrogates to smear and intimidate. He can’t make it personal. And if Trump can’t make it deeply personal somehow, his only alternative is to challenge the whistleblower’s account on its merits, on factual grounds, which Trump knows is impossible. THAT is why he’s so frustrated. His foe’s anonymity disarms him.” ~ Jay Bookman via Twitter

Quote of the Day

Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you’d follow them straight into hell.” ~ Karen Marie Moning

Quote of the Day

Our hearts resemble houses constructed by our parents. When we’re young and something breaks they repair the damage. As we get older we learn how to maintain and protect our own houses. First we have to learn how to welcome guests. We may deliberately allow them to enter our intimate lives. Some stay a short time and others stay longer. Some may damage our home or even steal from us. Still, in the end we each need someone to love our home and to become a part of it.” ~ Bammer

Quote Of The Day

I believe there’re other forms of intelligence in the universe. I’ve seen and heard some pretty convincing UFO stuff. Besides, if we’re the most intelligent things in the universe…well…that’s just depressing.” ~ Rekha Sharma

Quote of the Day

Being a teen is always tough, but being a teen NOW, in the middle of this global shitshow, plus social media, plus cyber bullying, plus call out culture … it’s just got to be fucking AWFUL. My heart goes out to every teen who is just trying to figure out what the fuck is going on with themselves, and also has to live with all that bullshit.” ~ Will Wheaton

Quote of the Day

I’m tired… I’m tired of people being ugly to each other. I’m tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There’s too much of it. It’s like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?” ~ Stephen King

Every damn day, Stephen. Every damn day.

Quote of the Day

I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done for me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (I’m not a big one for paying compliments…), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter.” ~ Jonathan Carroll

Quote of the Day

It may be shocking to some, but being someone’s daughter actually isn’t a career qualification. It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in & the world moves on. The US needs our President working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldn’t hurt either.” ~ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
