I searched one winter's eve for love
~ Alice Baskous ~

I searched one winter's eve for love,
but never found it there
where sylvan spaces loomed above
and slipping branches cried 'Beware!'

So looked I to the sky's bright face,
the glory of its blue
and to the robin's nimble race
of silent beatings fast and true

in want of that for which I pined,
but aye, their empty store
would leave all hope of love behind
and thought of you, forevermore.

Then to earth my famished gaze
turned sick from fleeting time,
and saw naught but greyish haze,
gripping thorn, and harsh-tuned rhyme

embossed upon a stone of white
that said in language sure,
those who embrace impending night
shall e'er find home and love secure:

ah, how with hands benumbed and chill
my limbs I felt them well,
this pale stone, these words, until
what time, but God alone can tell . . .

unless, my love, you care to speak?
For I found you there, below,
when with strength of limb but nature meek
I dug trembling through the deepest snow!

And now I rest in womb of earth
and vest of white, with you,
who share with me your cold, cold mirth
the passing seasons through.

Head Over Feet
~ Alanis Morisette ~

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your faults

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your faults

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now, I am aware now

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your faults

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your faults

Carry Me
~ Chris de Burgh ~

There is an answer, some day we will know,
And you will ask her, why she had to go,
We live and die, we laugh and we cry,
And you must take away the pain,
Before you can begin to live again;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the tears come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carre me like a fire in your heart;

There is a river rolling to the sea,
You will be with her for all eternity,
But we that remain need you here again,
So hold her in your memory
And begin to make the shadows disappear;

Yes let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart.

And thou art enough.

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
~ Christopher Reeve ~

We live in a time when the words impossible and unsolvable are no longer part of the scientific community's vocabulary. Each day we move closer to trials that will not just minimize the symptoms of disease and injury but eliminate them.
~ Christopher Reeve ~

A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
~ Martin Luther King Jr. ~

We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like. I have prepared one of my own. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder, and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like.
~ Alfred Hitchcock ~

The only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is the velocities with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door. That's the only difference.
