'There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.'
Diana Cortes

"Women's Manifesto--- because women's work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or reptetious and we're the first to get fired and what we look like is more important than what we do and if we get raped it's our fault and if we get beaten we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices we're nagging bitches and if we enjoy sex we're **** and if we don't we're frigid and if we love a woman its because we can't get a "real" man and if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic and pushy and if we expect a child we're selfish and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and "unfeminine" and if we don't we're typical weak females and if we want to get married we're out to trap a man and because we still can't get an adequate contraceptive but men can walk on the moon and if we can't cope or don't want a pregnancy we're made to feel guilty about abortion and.....for lots and lots of other reasons we are part of the women's liberation movement.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
Albert Einstein

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.'

A quote from Dr Samuel Johnson, written in the 16th century and still worth remembering today.
"What signifies, says some one, giving halfpence to beggars? they only lay it out in gin or tobacco".
"And why should they be denied such sweeteners of their existence (says Johnson)? it is surely very savage to refuse them every possible avenue to pleasure, reckoned too coarse for our own acceptance. Life is a pill which none of us can bear to swallow without gilding; yet for the poor we delight in stripping it still barer, and are not ashamed to shew even visible displeasure, if ever the bitter taste is taken from their mouths."


"If at first you fail then destroy all evidence of your attempt."
Anon

"Friends are the family we choose for ourselves."

'Life has a tendency to obfuscate and bewilder
Such as fating us to spend the first part of our lives being
embarrassed by our parents and the last part being
embarrassed by our children'
Ogden Nash
