All my life I had been looking for something,

and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was.

I accepted their answers too, though they were often in

contradiction and even self-contradictory.

I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone

except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.

It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my

expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears

to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.

and I can write faster than anybody who can write better.

see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that

in the end we become disguised to ourselves.

The important thing is this:

To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are

for what we could become.

~Charles DuBois~

There are as many nights as days,

and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness,

and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were

not balanced by sadness.

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly,

while bad people will find a way around the laws.

~Plato~

Never apologize for showing feeling.

When you do so, you apologize for the truth.

If God had wanted me otherwise,

He would have created me otherwise.

I wish I knew how

It would feel to be free

I wish that I could break

All the chains holding me

I wish I could say

For the whole round world to hear

I wish I could share

All the love that’s in my heart

Remove every doubt

It keeps us apart...

Heart, we will forget him

Heart, we will forget him,

You and I, tonight!

I may remember him!

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,

stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?

It came without ribbons. It came without tags.

It came without packages, boxes or bags.

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.

What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.

What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

~Dr. Seuss~

Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us,

that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance.

It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a

day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be

a day of remembrance - a day in which we

think of everything we have ever loved.

Driving home for Christmas

I can't wait to see those faces

I'm driving home for Christmas

Well, I'm moving down that line

And it's been so long

But I will be there

To pass the time away

Driving in my car

Driving home for christmas

It's gonna take some time

But I'll get there ..
