Echoing Words

It’s just you and I, my friend

Bruce Springsteen
Streets of Philadelphia

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints, and became stuck in the thick head.

The Englishman pushed his beer away from himself in disgust.

The Scotsman fished the offending fly out of his beer, and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened.

The Irishman picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer, and yelled,
“SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT YOU BASTARD!!!!”

There is Pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a Rapture on the lonely shore,
There is Society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar.
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’re express, yet cannot all conceal.

Lord Byron
Solitude

We are all lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Oscar Wilde

Songs and a dream are left for me

Blues Traveler
Sweet Pain

The sacred and profane,
pleasure and the pain

Dire Straits
On Every Street

One man looks at a dying bird and thinks there’s nothing but unanswered pain. That death’s got the final word, it’s laughing at him. Another man sees that same bird, feels the glory, feels something smiling through it.

Pvt. Witt
“The Thin Red Line”

If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.

Woody Allen

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says,
Why the long face?

At any moment, a great moment.
