To hope is to risk pain.

“We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” -Carlos Castaneda

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” -Confucius

There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~-Albert Einstein

“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.” -Unknown

Quote of the day: Madonna’s Directorial Debut

Methinks they not like…

Madonna has been a terrible actor in many, many films and now – fiercely aspirational as ever – she has graduated to being a terrible director. She has made a movie so incredibly bad that Berlin festivalgoers were staggering around yesterday in a state of clinical shock, deathly pale and mewing like maltreated kittens.
-Peter Bradshaw, Filth and Wisdom

Best Cheney quote ever…

I found this in a sidebar at Three Bulls!*

Cheney is so evil he doesn’t have a heart, just a muscle to pump pure liquid evil through his veins. He traveled through time to be Caligula, Atilla, Hitler, and Pol Pot’s role model, but they all failed him. He eats kittens because there aren’t enough endangered animals to fill his insatiable maw. In the original Hebrew, the Bible actually says “Dick Cheney is the root of all evil”.
