Yesterday is gone and its tale told.

Today new seeds are growing.

Quotation from the Rum Diary

"Human beings are the only creatures on Earth who claim a God, and the only living thing that behaves like it hasn't got one. Does the world belong to no one but you?" And when he said it, I was taken aback. Not because of who was doing the talking. Because I finally understood the connection between children scavenging for food, and shiny brass plates on the front doors of banks."

Paul Kemp (The Rum Diary)

Starring Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, Michael Rispoli, Richard Jenkins, Giovanni Ribisi, Aaron Echardt based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson and screenplay by Bruce Robinson

Thought for the Day

You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters

One is not born a woman...

 

For the 100th Birthday Anniversary of Simone de Beauvoir,
I am posting some famous quotations from her:

"One is not born a woman, one becomes one."

"On the day when it will be possible for women to love not
in her weakness but in strength, not to escape herself
but to find herself, not to abase herself but to assert
herself- on that day love will become for her, as for man,
a source of life..."

"Sex pleasure in woman is a kind of magic spell, it
demands a complete abandon; if words or movements
oppose the magic of caresses, the spell is broken."
