Anyways the reason for this post is I've been trying to figure out what to do with the book I read about Katharine Hepburn since I have....
...all these tabs of quotes, movies, and basically anything that I wanted to remember. I didnt know what to do with them. I dont really want to put this book away with all these tabs and I dont keep a journal or diary so heres where my blog is going to come in hand. =)
I have started it with the new book Im reading and I kinda like the idea. To put them all on my blog somewhere. It saves them for me and gives everyone a little taste of the book instead of me just telling you without telling you about it. If you dont like it...well its my blog and you dont have to read it right? So here we go.
-Listen to the song of life. (I plan on painting a sign for my house someday, that says this.)
-First, dont take life or its happenings too seriously. Lift up the corners of that mouth that I gave you one moonlight night. Second, try to do one thing well-utilizing the experience of all preccding life and your own wit. Third, never let yourself hate any person. it is the most devastating weapon of ones enemies. (I wish I got this kind of advice from my dad, or just anyone in my life instead of having to figure it out on my own.)
-...She was the living anarchy of love,
She was the unexplained, the end of love,
The one who occupies the dreamy self,
The one appearance in the finite world Which is seen by us one time,
And then despaired Beyound romantic comfort afterwards.
She was my nourishment, my sister, and my child, My lust, my liberty, my discipline,
And she laid fair, awkward hands upon my head.
She was discourteous as life and death
And kindly as a dry white wine is kind
On a blowzy summer day.
In praise or blame, my voice drowns in my blood, I cannot speak, I could not speak before,
Although I knew love fattes on smooth words,
I could not speak at all.
For beyound space she was my quality, She was the very mask of my desire...
~The Daughters of the Sun," by Phelps Putnam
-Before the women began dropping any pretense to virginity into the gutter. With a disregard for truth whic is indeed pathetic. And unisex was born. The hair grew long and the pride grew short. And we were off to the anti-hero and -heroine. John Wayne survived all this.
-Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get-only what you are expecting to give-which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and you cannot help giving.
-There is an enormous difference between love and like. Usually we use the word "love" when we really mean like. I think that very few people ever mean love. I think that like is a much easier relationship. It is based on sense. A blind spot-love.
-One builds one's own jail. I never knew him, I think. And he is the only one who ever knew me-who was onto me. I think I was a confort to him. I hope. Dear Friend.
