Quote of the week.

[Curtis St. John]

the state representative told me that I was "a very stong man". Damn right I am. This shit isn't going to keep me down. No way, no how.

Not posted here, but told to me by a friend in conversation a few days ago...about 'Being lost'.

'You can't be lost if you do not know where you are going'.

and

'You maybe aren't lost. You are just using a different map'.


I liked them.

From Stephen 5 in the 'Similarities Redux' thread:

"Acceptance means abandoning all hope of ever having a better past." unknown.

That is a classic. Abandon the past, embrace the future.

I love this quote.

"Live your life without regret. Don't be someone who they'll forget" by Melanie Chisolm from the song Northern Star

From SoCal_Marc, this morning, in a letter to a perp

I'm going to live. I'm going to get free of you.

 

[Curtis St. John]

We aren't worthless. We're not! We DESERVE our moments of happiness...

...I'm so proud of everyone here. It's true. We ARE all worth it. We ARE good. We ARE decent...

...It IS a beautiful day!

I love you all, my brothers and sisters.

Peace and MUCH love,

Scot

This may be the quickest quote of the week from someone posting to appearing her - it's from Marc in response to Brayton's topic 'Denial'.

You know, I could sit here and say nothing and have all my questions answered sooner or later..

It reflects my opinion of this site entirely...some of us post, some of us don't - we all help each other even when we don't always realise it.

Love (not just a word) ...Rik

That Oldtimer Mike Church couldn't find this thread so I thought I would help him out

Dammit I cannot find the old thread. Must be oldtimers.

This by Captain

one of the best ways we can give perps the 'big finger' is to make an outrageous success of our lives, being content and optimistic in our daily living. Or, in the words of the late Winston Churchill, "we shall never surrender!"

I'm there for you Mike, next time you have trouble just let me know

Leosha's letting his imagination run riot -

I would like to take them all into a room, castrate them with battery acid and a lighter, and maybe THEN really hurt the basterds.

Leo' - I'd hate to see you REALLY pissed of !

From Mike Lew's, "Victims No Longer."

"The way out of the pain is through it."

That's some of best advice I've ever heard. So simple, direct, but true. We can try to run, numb, etc., etc. from our abuse and the pain. It won't do away. We gotta so through it, face it.

Take it easy,

time to bring this back up

If you want to kick the tiger in the ass, you'd better have a plan for dealing with his teeth

from the Tom Clancy novel The Teeth of the Tiger

Just seems so fitting.

Don-NY, from his inspirational "All lies" post.

We declare that Truth by proclaiming and naming the LIES. This is about what we believed, not what we believe. This is about what we have gotten over or know we will. It is about what we have beaten, not what has beaten us.

Don, you have a way with words that's hard to beat.

From ak's poem 'Feeling bad'


What you need, I can not do. I can heal me. I can't heal you.

Bill 1965,
you've got a great doctor!

I went to the doctors the other day and was asked why I came in, I said I don't know, but felt like it was the right place to go. We seem to know where the right place is sometimes.

I saw that nobody had posted to this thread in a while, and that's just not right.

Im quoting David who quoted my quote. So here is Davids total quote (which has my quote in it).

Were going to have a fun, productive, hardworking, emotionally draining great time!

You are pumped!!

Now, if you could only assure me of an aisle seat for the flight.

From Andrei's stunning post -

The people who can do the most terrible things in the world, they are lost in the world. Because the world, it works hard to be good for us. They are on outside of the good things in the world. The darkness inside them, it eats them alive, even as they try to have control by hurting others. They are not able to know the warmth of loving someone or being loved. They can see the most beautiful sunset, and instead of appreciating the art of the colors chasing each other in the sky, see only the arrival of night.
