    Rules for Living by Olivia Joules
    1. Never panic. Stop, breathe, think.
    2. No one is thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves, just like you.
    3. Never change haircut or color before an important event.
    4. Nothing is either as bad or good as it seems.
    5. Do as you would be done by, e.g. thou shalt not kill.
    6. It is better to buy one expensive thing that you really like than several cheap ones that you only quite like.
    7. Hardly anything matters: if you get upset, ask yourself, "Does it really matter?"
    8. The key to success lies in how you pick yourself up from failure.
    9. Be honest and kind.
    10. Only buy clothes that make you feel like doing a small dance.
    11. Trust your instincts, not your overactive imagination.
    12. When overwhelmed by disaster, check if it's really a disaster by doing the following: (a) think, "Oh, fuck it," (b) look on the bright side, and if that doesn't work, look on the funny side. If neither of the above works then maybe it is a disaster so turn to items 1 and 4.
    13. Don't expect the world to be safe or life to be fair.”
    Helen Fielding, Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination

    Edgar A. Guest
    “Father!
    My father knows the proper way
    The nation should be run;
    He tells us children every day
    Just what should now be done.
    He knows the way to fix the trusts,
    He has a simple plan;
    But if the furnace needs repairs,
    We have to hire a man.
    My father, in a day or two
    Could land big thieves in jail;
    There's nothing that he cannot do,
    He knows no word like "fail."
    "Our confidence" he would restore,
    Of that there is no doubt;
    But if there is a chair to mend,
    We have to send it out.

    All public questions that arise,
    He settles on the spot;
    He waits not till the tumult dies,
    But grabs it while it's hot.
    In matters of finance he can
    Tell Congress what to do;
    But, O, he finds it hard to meet
    His bills as they fall due.

    It almost makes him sick to read
    The things law-makers say;
    Why, father's just the man they need,
    He never goes astray.
    All wars he'd very quickly end,
    As fast as I can write it;
    But when a neighbor starts a fuss,
    'Tis mother has to fight it.

    In conversation father can
    Do many wondrous things;
    He's built upon a wiser plan
    Than presidents or kings.
    He knows the ins and outs of each
    And every deep transaction;
    We look to him for theories,
    But look to ma for action”
    Edgar Albert Guest

    Markus Zusak
    “Sometimes people are beautiful.
    Not in looks.
    Not in what they say.
    Just in what they are.”
    Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “At night, I open the window
    and ask the moon to come
    and press its face against mine.
    Breathe into me.
    Close the language-door
    and open the love-window.
    The moon won't use the door,
    only the window.”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings

  • #28
    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I was dead, then alive.
    Weeping, then laughing.

    The power of love came into me,
    and I became fierce like a lion,
    then tender like the evening star.”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi
