L'Art Pour l'Art

There neither exists nor can exist any work more thoroughly dignified...than the poem which is a poem and nothing more - the poem written solely for the poem's sake.
Edgar Allan Poe

Something to Someone

"I am not very good at this game called Life, for I've not learned to see children crying without feeling pain, for I've not learned to watch animals being destroyed without wondering why. For I've not yet met a king or celebrity that I would bow down to, or a man so insignificant that I would use for a stepping-stone. For I've not yet learned to be a "yes man" to narrow minded bosses who quote rules without reason, and I've not learned to manipulate the feelings of others to be used for my own advantages, then cast aside as I see fit. No, I am not very good at this game called Life, and if everything goes well, maybe I never will be..."

"Can I live without you, now that I know you, now that I know you exist? Can I sleep at night without seeing your smile, now that I've seen it for real? Can I be the same, now that I've changed with the gentle touch of your hand? Now that I'm divided by my need for you, without you, can I be whole again?"

"If I should come out ahead at the end of this game called Life, it won't be because of my fancy style, or that I knew how to play it so well. But more because I just keep getting up and plodding along till the world finally just got tired of knocking me down."

"There are so many words, yet there are no words, for when I look into your eyes, no words need to be spoken, and the warmth of your smile is a statement in itself. And how could I ever try to explain the trembling in my body when I touch your face? There are no words to explain an emotion, so I open to you my mind, that you might walk among my dreams and memories. Then...and only then, you might understand my silence."

"I've been touched by the morning sun that chases the night away, and I've been touched by the gentle words that love-struck poets say. And I've been touched by the morning mist everyone calls the dew, but it all seems more beautiful now that I've been touched by you."

"I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone..."

.... "Something to Someone".

Memory

"Some memories are best forgotten.
Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts."
(Leonard Shelby, "Memento", 2001)

Persahabatan

Persahabatan adalah seperti jalan-jalan kecil di kampung kita.
Jika kita tidak melaluinya selalu, maka akan tumbuhlah lalang dan semak samun.
Dan apabila sudah dipenuhi lalang dan semak samun, sudah tentu kita tidak akan melaluinya lagi.

Tired?

The heaviest burden is
to have nothing to do.
You get most tired
standing still

Don't Know

Most People Don't Know
What They Want
But They're Pretty Sure
They Haven't Got It

WORK
"Hard work never killed anybody"

Quote Of The Day

I just received this June Newsletter from bro Azizi Ali and would like to quote again his "Quote of the month" here :)

"Always bet on the short and modest. Don't let greed get you.
When you have a good profit, cash out and walk away."

* Max Gunther, The Zurich Axioms *
