I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
e e cummings
The only man, woman, or child who ever wrote a simple declarative sentence with seven grammatical errors is dead.
e. e. cummings, on the death of Warren G. Harding, 1923
Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

Always the beautiful answer who asks a most beautiful question.
It takes courage to grow up and be who you really are.
The earth laughs in flowers.

Chatoyant, beautiful quotes. I just love e.e. Cummings!
So do I! I'm glad you started this!
Love your new avatar girl! Way to go:)
Chatoyant YES - love the avatar!
E E Cummings! Love his stuff madly!
"There's a hell of a universe next door; lets go."
"America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still."
"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting."
Thanks for the compliments on the avatar. I've been trying to find one I really like. Do you think this is me?
The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.
e.e. cummings
By the way Larry, great avatar and sig line. 'Twas a sad day.
Twas. One of those hard to believe it actually happened days.

"To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
Re: E. E. CUMMINGS Quotes
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
A politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man
Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star...
Cummings is one of my favorites also.
"kisses are a better fate / than wisdom"
"Unbeing dead isn't being alive."
"...then laugh, leaning back in my arms, for life is not a paragraph, and death i think is no parenthesis."
"We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit."

who knows if the moon's
a balloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
"There's a hell of a universe next door; lets go."
"I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance." :wink:
in the vein of cummings but is Dylan
Well, I try my best
To be just like I am
But everybody wants you
To be just like them
