I know paradise has many gates, just as hell does. One has to learn to distinguish between them, or one is lost.

Life is quite simply a matter of cruising along in your own little boat through
a constantly changing but never-ending stream of promises …

Love me like a river does
Cross the sea …
Endlessly …
Baby don’t rush …
Love me that is all …

Besame besame mucho,
Each time I bring you a kiss
I hear music divine.
So besame besame mucho,
I love you for ever,
Say that you’ll always be mine.
Dearest one, if you should leave me
Then each little dream will take wings
And my life would be through.
Oh besame besame mucho,
I love you for ever,
You make all my dreams come true.
Oh this joy is something new,
My arms they’re holding you,
I never knew this thrill before.
Who ever thought I’d be
Holding you close to me
Whispering: it’s you I adore…

I remembered her once saying that life was like your shoes. You couldn’t simply expect or imagine that your shoes would fit perfectly. Shoes that pinched your feet were a fact of life.

You forget what you want to remember and remember what you would prefer to forget.

To grow up is to wonder about things; to be grown up is to slowly forget the things you wondered about as a child.

Anybody who says they are a good liar obviously is not, because any legitimately savvy liar would always insist they’re honest about everything.
