Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev’rywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev’ryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev’ry fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way

But now it’s just another show
You leave ’em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living ev’ry day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

"It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly
so that his place shall never be
with those timid souls
who know neither victory or defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt

Garbage in, garbage out.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Don't slam the door if you want to open it again.

Tom Hanks asks his commander why is he put on a mission that seems to be trading many lives to save one private ryan. His commander reads out this letter..

"To one Mrs. Bixby of Boston

Dear Madam, --I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln"

紅樓一夢

紅樓一夢夢千秋，樓外千秋萬山紅。
夢盡千秋還紅樓，千山秋盡紅樓中。
紅樓千秋一夢還，樓中一夢千秋紅。
一秋未盡千樓紅，一樓秋紅誰與共？

雨

雨雲齊聚起塵霾，雨來風卷露滿懷。
雨簾重重遮無數，雨過濕盡青蒼苔。

一字令

一筆一畫一思量，一針一線一惆悵。
一離一聚一悲喜，一生一世一徜徉。

長相思

山含情，水含情，片片飛紅柳絮輕。曉春百囀鶯。

鳳鳴箏，鸞吹笙，比翼雙飛鶼鰈行。相攜萬里程。

人月圓

秋風蕭瑟孤飛雁，夜雨夢猶寒。聲聲簫咽，淒淒社鼓，還覺衣單。

零丁環佩，塵沾脂粉，淚滿羅衫。瑤階月冷，萱花早謝，還問誰憐。

三字令

秋暮色，日拂簾，柳含煙。花欲落，葉纏綿。鳥成雙，人卻個，影孤單。

金縷枕，淚痕斑，羅衣沾。情匆忘，夢魂牽。願隨君，生死共，到黃泉。

Humongous Guest Posts: n/a	紅樓一夢紅樓一夢夢千秋，樓外千秋萬山紅。夢盡千秋還紅樓，千山秋盡紅樓中。紅樓千秋一夢還，樓中一夢千秋紅。一秋未盡千樓紅，一樓秋紅誰與共？雨雨雲齊聚起塵霾，雨來風卷露滿懷。雨簾重重遮無數，雨過濕盡青蒼苔。一字令一筆一畫一思量，一針一線一惆悵。一離一聚一悲喜，一生一世一徜徉。長相思山含情，水含情，片片飛紅柳絮輕。曉春百囀鶯。鳳鳴箏，鸞吹笙，比翼雙飛鶼鰈行。相攜萬里程。人月圓秋風蕭瑟孤飛雁，夜雨夢猶寒。聲聲簫咽，淒淒社鼓，還覺衣單。零丁環佩，塵沾脂粉，淚滿羅衫。瑤階月冷，萱花早謝，還問誰憐。三字令秋暮色，日拂簾，柳含煙。花欲落，葉纏綿。鳥成雙，人卻個，影孤單。金縷枕，淚痕斑，羅衣沾。情匆忘，夢魂牽。願隨君，生死共，到黃泉。 Last edited by tweety bird; 17-10-2008 at 06:09 PM.
