It's not the power of the curse...It's the power you give the curse!

Quote of the day -16-

"Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: 

'You are in the process of being indoctrinated. 

We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. 

We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. 

What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. 

The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. 

You are being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. 

It is a self-perpetuating system. 

Those of you who are more robust and individual than others will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself — educating your own judgements. 

Those that stay must remember, always, and all the time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society.' " 

Doris Lessing (The Golden Notebook)

Quote of the day -15-

"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy.

If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem.
But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.
This makes it hard to plan the day."
E.B. White

Yes Man!

Hey Carl...you wanna give your money away to some homeless guy? Yes, yes I do.
How about letting him use up the phone battery so that you can't get help when your car runs out of gas? You know what? That sounds like a fuckin' great idea!

(And that's a song i liked. Jim Carrey was singing it in the movie.)

Jumper - Third Eye Blind

I wish you would step back
From that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
The angry boy a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away

An Imaginary Life

جوليا بطرس - دبلت بكير

هالوردة دبلت بكير
حلوة بعدا حلوة كتير
ما عادت شافت هالشمس
والدنيا كِلها مشاوير
كانت حتى يكون العطر
خلقت تيضحك هالفجر
لما بيصبح هالعمر
خوف وبرد وليل كتير

قولي بحالك شو صار
الهموم بعينيك كتار
هالعمر الباقي مشوار صغير

قلبك بهالدنيا احتار
بعرف في عندك أسرار
حملني الربيع أخبار
فيها ألوان عصافير

The Reason - Hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Daisy: Would you still love me if I were old and saggy?

Benjamin: Would you still love me if I were young and had acne?
When I'm afraid of what's under the bed?
Or if I end up wetting the bed?

Quote of the day -14-

"People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Abraham Lincoln

Who Moved My Cheese?!

"As he started running down the dark corridor he began to smile. Haw didn't realize it yet, but he was discovering what nourished his soul. He was letting go and trusting what lay ahead for him, even though he did not know exactly what it was.
To his surprise, Haw started to enjoy himself more and more. "Why do I feel so good?" he wondered. "I don't have any Cheese and I don't know where I am going."
Before long, he knew why he felt good.
He stopped to write again on the wall:
"When you stop being afraid, you feel good!""

A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight

Magnolia

Sometimes people need a little help.

Sometimes people need to be forgiven.
You can forgive someone.
Well, that's the tough part.
What can we forgive?

نون

فلتنسيا يا ابنتى طرق السلامة لانها لا تحمل معرفة

و لتنسيا طرق الندامة لان ليس لها وجود الا فى اذهان ساكنى علب السردين الخائفين
و لتسيرا طريق من يذهب ليعود بالذهب
لا تسيآ فهمى لان ذهبى ليس هو الذهب الذى تتزين به بعض النساء لتقلن للاخريات انهن تملكن
ذهبى هو ما كان سيميائيو العصور الوسطى يدخلون كهوفهم من اجله
.......
...
هؤلاء الكهنة القدامى قضوا اعمارهم يبحثون فى اسرار المادة
يقطرونها و يصهرونها و يمضون ايامهم و الليالى امام البوتقة فى انتظار تجلى الذهب من التراب
و لم يكن هذا الا ذهب ارواحهم اذ تنصهر من حرارة بحثهم عن السر
هو الروح عندما تنقيها نار الالم و لهيب التجربة فتحترق الشوائب
تتساقط رمادا
و لا يبقى الا ذهب الحقيقة فى كامل نقائه

Edward: And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.
Bella: What a stupid lamb!

Bella Notte - George Givot

Oh this is the night, it's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies, they have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte.
Side by side with your loved one,
You'll find enchantment here.
The night will weave its magic spell,
When the one you love is near!
Oh this is the night, and the heavens are right!
On this lovely bella notte!

Sleepless in Seattle

Annie: I don't even know him...I'm harvesting all these fantasies about some man I've never even met...who lives in Seattle.

I am,

indeed,
a king,
because I know how
to rule myself.

Beatrix Potter: Stories don't always end where their authors intended. But there is joy in following them, wherever they take us.
