Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. - Author Unknown Jumping for joy is good exercise. -Author Unknown We experience moments absolutely free from worry. These brief respites are called panic. -Cullen Hightower. Writing is 90 percent procrastiantion: reading magazines, eating cereal out of the box, watching infomercials. It's a matter of doing everything you can to avoid writing. -Paul Rudnick Stress spelled backwards is desserts. Coincidence? I think not! - Author Unknown When one tugs at a single think in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. -John Muir Like sheep that get lost nibbling away at the grass because they never look up, we often focus so much on ourselves and our problems that we get lost. -Allen Klein Yes, there is Nirvana; it is in leading your sheep to a green pasture, and in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem. -Kahlil Gibran What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner. - Colette | |
