"Death must be so beautiful.  To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence.  To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow.  To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace."

I always liked "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride." Just sounds cool to say, but I don't think I have ever had occasion to say it.

Attributed to Unknown. Unknown Hinson? That too, is unknown. First time I heard the phrase it came from a meth addict laborer on an Arizona construction site. It is applicable to so much in society currently that I use it often....

Cool, never knew that about Durant and the Bruins. That is an interesting story unto itself. Funny thing is that there are a few historians that believe Aristotle may have borrowed it from yet another Greek. The original phrase:
όλοι είμαστε είναι σκόνη στον άνεμο

One of my favourite Shakespeare quotes.

"Alas, poor Romeo! He is already dead, stabbed with a white wenchs black eye, shot through the ear with a love song, the very pin of his heart cleft with the blind bow-boys butt shaft. "

The foreshadowing and some really raunchy innuendo, combined with the ordinary everyday act of a guy making fun of his friend for falling in love.

The density of ideas and information in those few lines is truly astounding to me.



Of course the innuendo is really my favorite part.

Heart = ass

pin(hole) =center of said ass,

Cupids arrow cleaving the pin of his heart.

Basically buttf'd by love.

Foreshadowing is fairly obvious. Stabbing thru the heart at the end.
