Lyrics
~
This is over my head
Yet underneath my feet
'Cause by tomorrow morning
I'll have this thing beat
And everything will be back
To the way that it was
I wish it was just that easy
-Lifehouse, "Somewhere In Between" from No Name Face
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel...
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning find that
When I drive myself
My light is found
-Incubus, "Drive" from Make Yourself
If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello
I am the lie living for you
So you can hide
Don't cry
Suddenly, I know I'm not sleeping
Hello
I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday
-Evanescence, "Hello" from Fallen
If life's a battle, the invasion is complete
If it's a rhythm, I have found the perfect beat
If it's a renaissance, I've got a new birthday
The world don't give it, and the world can't take it away
-Newsboys, "Joy" from Shine the Hits
In my mind's eye, I can see Your face
Your love pours down in a shower of grace
Life is a gift that You chose to give
I believe I'll eternally live
Faith is the evidence of things unseen
People tell me that You're just a dream
They don't know You the way that I do
You're the one I live to pursue
-DC Talk, "Mind's Eye" from Jesus Freak
What is this, what is this, this mess of my existence?
All these politics of life and death and relevance
It's my existence...
Oh, just take it all
Make it work and make some sense
Just take it all, be my existence
Be my existence
-Kevin Max, "Existence" from Stereotype Be
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right times
But I mean nothing to you
And I don't know why
-Verticle Horizon, "Everything You Want" from Everything You Want
Book Excerpts
~
"Of study took he utmost care and heed.
Not one word spoke he more than was his need;
And that was said in fullest reverence
And short and quick and full of high good sense.
Pregnant of moral virtue was his speech;
And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.
-Geoffery Chaucer, Canterbury Tales, Editted by Candace Ward
"Only great actors do it on stage..."
-Lee Strasberg, Theatre
"Lady Bracknell: What did he die of?
Algernon: Bunbury? Oh, he was quite exploded.
Lady Bracknell: Exploded! Was he the victim of a revolutionary outrage? I was not aware that Mr. Bunbury was interested in social legislation. If so, he is well punished for his morbidity.
Algernon: My dear Aunt Augusta, I mean he was found out! The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live, that is what I mean -- so Bunbury died.
Lady Bracknell: He seems to have had great confidence in the opinion of his physicians..."
-Oscar Wilde, "The Importance of Being Earnest"
"Chasuble: Dear Mr. Worthing, I trust this garb of woe does not betoken some terrible calamity?
Jack: My brother.
Miss Prism: More shameful debts and extravagance?
Chasuble: Still living a life of pleasure?
Jack (shaking his head): Dead!
Chasuble: Your brother Ernest dead?
Jack: Quite dead.
Miss Prism: What a lesson for him! I trust he will profit by it."
-Oscar Wilde, "The Importance of Being Earnest"
(Hm, I guess to really get those two, you'd have to read the play.)
"The fear that many people have about not having a physical relationship before marriage is that they'll be clumsy and inexperienced on their wedding night. Guess what? It's okay to be clumsy and inexperienced. It means you need to devote a lot of time to practice after the wedding."
-Joshua Harris, Boy Meets girl (Underlines added)
"I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration. But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires."
-James Joyce, "Araby"
Poems
~
Dawn
By: Paul Lawrence Dunbar
An angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down to kiss the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it Dawn.
The Road Not Taken
By: Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
~
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
~
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
~
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
