Some people live their lives being perpetual victims and finger pointers. To anyone who points a finger at someone else and lays all the blame at their feet instead of taking responsibility for their own behavior, I would say, "I see that finger and you know where you can put it?
We know what we should do. Age is no excuse. Do we go to others for permission or for discipline?
I don’t make excuses, so don’t make excuses for me. When I’m being an ass, it’s because I have one.
Their love story: It’s when logic fell in love with paranoia and paranoia learned to love logic; logic grounded paranoia and paranoia turned up the heat because logic never knew where that heat would come from. Logic needs to be stimulated and paranoia needs to be soothed and therefore they need each other, which resulted in the birth of combustion. The end.
You love the word love but you don’t really love and you don’t want to love because love, which is really sacrifice, would prevent you from doing what you want to do.
All the bruised lives, searching hearts...Everyone wants a love story but few will risk what it takes to live one.
They say love inspires. Guess what inspires more? An enemy.

“The day we put an end to believing in hope will be the day we stop existing, for without hope, we are nothing.”
“The road may be long, tortuous and wearied. But the resulting success is enduring, sure and sweet. The fool abandons hope in the wearied journey of life. The wise gets going - holding firmly to the promise of a better tomorrow. He that gives up too soon fails to understand that life rewards with success only those who cling on to hope against hope. Those who hope when it is unfashionable to hope.”
“We hope she can definitely repeat that. Liz was going crazy when they announced where we were going. We said, you better play well if we're going home for you.”
“We hope we're bringing some joy, especially to the nursing homes. We go to praise the Lord and to show them that we love them and care about them and we have not forgotten them.”
I'm a big fan of Courtney Love. I love Hole and I love her acting and I love her attitude. I just hope I never meet her in a dark alley.
