    Søren Kierkegaard
    “Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”
    Søren Kierkegaard

    “Who is She? She is your power, your Feminine source. Big Mama. The Goddess. The Great Mystery. The web-weaver. The life force. The first time, the twentieth time you may not recognize her. Or pretend not to hear. As she fills your body with ripples of terror and delight.

    But when she calls you will know you’ve been called. Then it is up to you to decide if you will answer.”
    Lucy H. Pearce, Burning Woman

    “May you live in interesting times.’ –Chinese curse

    If you ask me ‘What’s new?’, I have nothing to say

    Except that the garden is growing.

    I had a slight cold but it’s better today.

    I’m content with the way things are going.

    Yes, he is the same as he usually is,

    Still eating and sleeping and snoring.

    I get on with my work. He gets on with his.

    I know this is all very boring.

    There was drama enough in my turbulent past:

    Tears and passion – I’ve used up a tankful.

    No news is good news, and long may it last.

    If nothing much happens, I’m thankful.

    A happier cabbage you never did see,

    My vegetable spirits are soaring.

    If you’re after excitement, steer well clear of me.

    I want to go on being boring.

    I don’t go to parties. Well, what are they for,

    If you don’t need to find a new lover?

    You drink and you listen and drink a bit more

    And you take the next day to recover.

    Someone to stay home with was all my desire

    And, now that I’ve found a safe mooring,

    I’ve just one ambition in life: I aspire

    To go on and on being boring.”
    Wendy Cope
