PART I
Earth to Bella...
You think you’ve got it all figured in.
Earth to Bella...
Everything you know is wrong (well, almost).
Earth to Bella...
I see where you are not listening.
I bear the burden of being the voice
that let's you know: we all grow old
and before you swim you've gotta be OK to sink.
Earth to Bella...
The world can be an unfriendly place,
so hold your head up
and do your best to save some face.
It’s not so hard,
just undo yourself and see a second sun ascend.
PART II
Earth to Bella...
This is a quiet emergency.
Earth to Bella...
There's so much more to get then wronged.
Earth to Bella...
You're treading water successfully,
but are you really?
Don't you want to see the deep?
It's not so hard,
just forgive yourself and feel the water open in.
The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.
Stephen King
It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.
Stephen King
Sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. It's what you say when you spill a cup of coffee or throw a gutterball when you're bowling with the girls in the league. True sorrow is as rare as true love.
Stephen King
No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.
Stephen King
No good friends, no bad friends; only people you want, need to be with. People who build their houses in your heart.
Stephen King
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
Stephen King
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
Stephen King
You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
Stephen King
Hope is a good thing - maybe the best thing. And no good thing ever dies.
Stephen King
Books are a uniquely portable magic.
Stephen King
If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write.
Stephen King
Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness and sometimes we lose them there again.
Stephen King
It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.
Stephen King
We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.
Stephen King
Monsters are real and ghosts are real, too. They live inside us and sometimes, they win.
Stephen King
I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.
Stephen King
Freedom without limits is just a word.
Terry Pratchett
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true: it's called living.
Terry Pratchett
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full!' And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty!' The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!'
Terry Pratchett
No men should die for lies. But the truth is too precious to die for.
Terry Pratchett
The truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.
Terry Pratchett
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
Terry Pratchett
Light thinks it travels faster than anything, but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first and is waiting for it.
Terry Pratchett
Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.
Terry Pratchett
Stupid men are often capable of things the clever would not dare to contemplate.
Terry Pratchett
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
Terry Pratchett
Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think.
Terry Pratchett
God does not play dice with the universe; he plays an ineffable game of his own devising which might be compared, from the perspective of the players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room with blank cards, for infinite stakes with a dealer who won't tell you the rules and who smiles all the time.
Terry Pratchett
The intelligence of the creature known as a crowd is the square root of the number of people in it.
Terry Pratchett
Personally, I think the best motto for an educational establishment is: 'Or would you rather be a mule?'
Terry Pratchett
Mind you, the Elizabethans had so many words for the female genitals that it is quite hard to speak a sentence of modern English without inadvertently mentioning at least three of them.
Terry Pratchett
Elves are wonderful: they provoke wonder. Elves are marvellous: they cause marvels. Elves are fantastic: they create fantasies. Elves are glamorous: they project glamour. Elves are enchanting: they weave enchantment. Elves are terrific: they beget terror. The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. No one ever said elves are nice: elves are bad.
Terry Pratchett
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
Sir Walter Scott
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
Sir Walter Scott
Court not the critic's smile nor dread his frown.
Sir Walter Scott
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Sir Walter Scott
Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.
Sir Walter Scott
The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
Sir Walter Scott
What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it, dull to the contemporary who reads it and invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.
Sir Walter Scott
We tell lies when we are afraid, afraid of what we don't know, of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger.
Tad Williams
Never make your home in a place, make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
Tad Williams
Rekla sam si već nebrojeno puta da je vrijeme da objavim nekakav post na ovom blogu. I tako, dok sam između čitanja Pratchetta i traženja inspiracije za post gledala Everybody Hates Chris, puknula je mene maloprije spomenuta, toliko željena inspiracija.
The power of imagination makes us infinite.
John Muir
Tema epizode je bila Valentinovo. Svi dobivaju nekakve čestitke, ruže, bombonjere i kaj ja znam kaj već ne. A Chris dobije hrpu I hate you čestitki. But, that's besides the point. Kaj sam htjela reći je da ne razumijem svu tu strku oko tog Valentinova. Zašto svake, ali baš svake godine na taj dan, 14. veljače ljudi pošize i odjednom se sjete kako bi mogli nečime iskazati tu svoju ogromnu ljubav koja seže od zemlje do neba i natrag, a ponekad čak i dalje? Muškarci vode žene u restoran na finu, po mogućnosti skupu večericu, kupuju im blesave medvjediće s I love you natpisima i ostala sranja, dok one šize što nisu dobile više. A ne daj Bože da neka dotična gospođa ili gospodična ništa ne dobije - e, tek onda je panika u stilu spašavaj glavu tko može! Čemu sve to? Zar smo svi mi postali toliko uskogrudni da samo na taj dan voljenima kupujemo nešto što bi ih moglo razveseliti? Okej, shvaćam ja da je Valentinovo samo poticaj kako bismo pokazali ljubav, ali mnogima je to jedini dan kojeg se udostoje pokazati tu silnu ljubav. Ne kažem ja da nije lijepa nekakva ruža na Valentinovo, ali nije li ona još draža osobi kojoj je poklonjena kada ju dobije bez ikakvog posebnog razloga?
I ne, nisam romantičarka, ali gadi mi se današnje društvo čiji je kvocijent inteligencije ponekad jednak IQ-u jata riba. Čast iznimkama i pojedincima te isprika onima koji se smatraju članom društva i ovo moje razmišljanje ih vrijeđa.
Još nešto - gledam ja danas nekakvu glupavu emisiju na TV-u, kad ono - priča se o kolačima. Zanemarim to pošto moje kuharsko umijeće ne seže dalje od kuhanja karbonare i nastavim šaltati dalje, razmišljajući kako bih se trebala izvući iz kreveta te barem otuširati prije odlaska na sprovod ženi koju u životu nisam vidjela. Okej, ne računajući danas na sprovodu (bwah, užasavam se otvorenih lijesova). Pa ne mogu biti toliko nekulturna i doći na krematorij sva krmeljava. Uostalom, poslije se nalazim sa Zelenookim, ne mora me baš vidjeti kako izgledam kao smrt na dopustu. Bar ne još - nakon nekoliko sati kod njega doma su sve opcije otvorene. But, that's besides the point, again. If there ever was one.
Dakle, na poslijesprovodnom okupljanju moja daljnja rodbina priča o nevinosti. Starije tete se užasavaju svega što današnja mladež radi, a stričeki pričaju kako čuvaju puške iznad kamina za muškarca koji se usudi oduzeti tu istu nevinost njihovim 22-godišnjim kćerima. I onda navale na mene da trebam čuvati nevinost kao oko u glavi. Ironično je što sam baš nekoliko sati kasnije izgubila tu veoma štovanu nevinost. Iako osobno mislim da sam ju izgubila davno prije, nakon prve izgovorene laži. Ali, zašto toliko pričanja o tome? Treba čuvati nevinost, nikako olako ulaziti u seksualne odnose, a poslije prvog obavezno ići na ispovijed i izmoliti barem 20 Zdravo Marija i tako dalje i tako bliže. Jer, ipak je Marija djevica uvijek bila i ostala, kome se drugome obratiti za pomoć nego njoj? I opet, čemu sve to? Pa nije nevinost nešto što se drži u staklenki na najvišoj polici stalaže kako se ne bi razbila ili nešto što treba uokviriti i staviti na zid iznad kreveta kako se ne bi oštetila. I kakve su ono gluposti da je djevojka kojoj je pukao himen zasigurno imala seksualno iskustvo s muškarcem? Možda joj je jednostavno pukao dok je preko ljetnih praznika u Istri jahala konja ili se predano bavila biciklizmom?
Innocence is not pure so much as pleased, always expectant, bright-eyed, self-enclosed.
May Sarton
Ali neee - naše će ju visoko razvijeno društvo opet kritizirati jer ju je muškarac obesčastio. A to što su neki od njih radili u svojim mladim (ili ne tako mladim) danima je najbolje pomesti pod tepih i čekati još nekoga tko se usudio ostati bez himena. I linčovati onoga tko joj je to napravio, naravno.
