Re: what is your favorite quote?
Are you trying to say that old, impotent and long-time losing rocks who believe in the bunching of luck because they have 'seen it' and 'felt it' could actually be wrong?
Heavens to Betsy!! Say it isn't so!! |

Re: what is your favorite quote?
"Don't you know that my prayer is growing ripe,
upon your vision, as upon a tree?" Rainer Maria Rilke in his poem 'I am O anxious one, don't you hear my voice' 'No Pasaran' (you shall not pass!) A slogan of the socialist workers anti-fascist struggle in the spanish civil war of 1936-39 Also, Gandalf, played by Ian McKellen says it in english to the Balrog in the Fellowship of the Ring movie. Last one: 'Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels' hierarchies? and even if one of them pressed me suddenly against his heart: I would be consumed in that overwhelming existence. For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying -Rainer Maria Rilke in THE FIRST ELEGY It's hard to stop quoting there because the whole poem is so fluid. Best, Snowball |
