Hey Kate, you coming to our show Friday night?" He leaned in close and touched my shoulder. "The guys would love to see you there." "Yes. Yes, the guys would indeed." Carter rolled his eyes and smirked. I held back my grin, well aware that he was laughing inwardly at the same thing I was. When Dean spoke of 'the guys,' he mostly meant himself. With a body like a Ken doll and hair like Meredith's McDreamy, I couldn't figure out for the life of me what he wanted with me. ↗

But Johannes had said, "Politeness is something you owe other people, because when you show a little courtesy, everything becomes easier and better. But first and foremost, it's something you owe yourself. You are David. ↗

I'll be writing as long as I can hold a pen in my curled, crimped arthritic hands and then I'll dictate it, if it comes to that. They'll have to pry my pen out of my cold, dead fingers - and even then, I'll fight 'em for it. Guaranteed. ↗

فاعترض الناس على هذا القول و قالوا كيف يرضى اللة سبحانة و تعالى فى هذا العالم الذى تقولون انة افضل العوالم و اعمها خيرا ان يهلك الفاضل العادل و يسعد الشرير فقالوا انما قلنا ان هذا العالم افضل العوالم امكانا و ان هناك ضرورات منطقية لا تدركها عقولنا تقضى ان يظهر الشر بجانب الخير و ربما كان حدوث الخير متوقفا على وقوع الشر! و ان فانون التناسب الخلقى يقضى باجتماع الاضداد لتتميز الاشياء فلا يعرف الخير الا اذا عرف الشر كما انة لا يعرف النور بغير الظلام ولا الحر بغير البرد و انة ان لم يكن فى العالم باطل فلا محل للحق!!" -مائدة افلاطون(كتاب) ↗

Life to me is the greatest of all games. The danger lies in treating it as a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don’t matter much. The rules matter a great deal. The game has to be played fairly or it is no game at all. And even to win the game is not the chief end. The chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly. ↗

Songs of myself I am the poet of the Body and I am the poet of the Soul, The pleasures of heaven are with me and the pains of hell are with me, The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue. I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man,.. ↗
