Of this and that

This is my hair in all it's glory, pssh. Unfortunately as you can see, my hair has become dry and split ends increase by the dozen. Oh wells, it's good to try new things. Money buys experience.

Okay time for my favourite quotes in the Bitterbynde Trilogy and yes, it is a soppy romance.

Ah but I must recollect - prejudice is merely the shield of the self-loving.

Unremembered , yesterday is extinct.
Without yesterday, today has no meaning.
Who are you, if forgotton?
Who are you, but the sum of your memories.

If you are the lantern, I am the flame; If you are the lake, then I am the rain; If you are the desert, I am the sea; If you are the blossom, I am the bee; If you are the fruit, then I am the core; If you are the rock, then I am the ore; If you are the ballad, I am the word; If you are the sheath, then I am the sword.

High expectations are a necessary perequisite for bitter disappointment.

Love makes heroes of ordinary fellows, princes of commoners, Faeran of mortalkind. In the eyes of all lovers the beloved transcends the mundane, forsakes all flaws and becomes supernatural.

The measure of happiness is merely the difference between expectations and outcomes. It is not concerned with what one possesses - it is concerned with how content one is with what one possesses.
