Quote of the Day

Not a word passes between us, not because we have nothing to say, but because we don't have to say anything." ~ Khaled Hosseini

Quote Of The Day

I believe there're other forms of intelligence in the universe. I've seen and heard some pretty convincing UFO stuff. Besides, if we're the most intelligent things in the universe…well…that's just depressing." ~ Rekha Sharma

Quote of the Day

Being a teen is always tough, but being a teen NOW, in the middle of this global shitshow, plus social media, plus cyber bullying, plus call out culture … it's just got to be fucking AWFUL. My heart goes out to every teen who is just trying to figure out what the fuck is going on with themselves, and also has to live with all that bullshit." ~ Will Wheaton

Quote of the Day

I'm tired… I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?" ~ Stephen King

Every damn day, Stephen. Every damn day.

Quote of the Day

I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don't feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid's runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it's difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it's done for me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (I'm not a big one for paying compliments…), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter." ~ Jonathan Carroll

Quote of the Day

It may be shocking to some, but being someone's daughter actually isn't a career qualification. It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in & the world moves on. The US needs our President working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldn't hurt either." ~ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Quote of the Day

The country is fiercely divided between those who still believe 2 + 2 = 4 and people wholly untethered from reality, and there is little chance the two sides will ever come together again.

Thanks for attending my TED Talk. Help yourself to a complimentary Xanax on the way out." ~ Rex Huppke

Quote of the Day

Evangelical Christians are tying themselves to an institution—the GOP—that is actively alienating college-educated voters, minority voters and younger voters. Evangelicals are thus entrenching a public perception that their movement consists of old, white Christians who want to restore lost social status through political power. Maybe this is because the perception is often accurate." ~ Michael Gerson, The Washington Post

For Ben

I love him not for the way he dances with my angels but for the sound of his voice can silence my demons." ~ (paraphrasing) Christopher Poindexter

Quote of the Day

I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow." ~ Margaret Mitchell

And that my friends, pretty much sums up my thoughts about the state of humanity these days. But there's no guarantee "I'll think about that tomorrow" because EVERYTHING is SO. FUCKING. DEPRESSING.

Quote of the Day

Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them." ~ Jodi Picoult

Quote of the Day

If only we wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, which is difficult, since we think them happier than they are." ~ Charles De Montesquieu

Quote of the Day

What angers me the most about the Republican Party's attempts to turn the U.S. into a far-right Christian theocracy is how dishonest they are about it. At least be forthright about your desire to subvert and dismantle our democracy into a creepy theological order led by a mad king." ~ U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Preach, sister.

They'll never do this, because they know the American public will outright reject it. But if they do it under the equivalent of the cover of darkness, like boiling a frog no one will realize what's happening until it's too late.

Fuck the Republicans. Each and every last one of them.

Quote of the Day

No. Don't give up hope just yet. It's the last thing to go. When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope." ~ Pittacus Lore

Quote of the Day

Introverts don't get lonely if they don't socialize with a lot of people, but we do get lonely if we don't have intimate interactions on a regular basis." ~ Sophia Dembling

Quote of the Day

Notre Dame is on fire and the stupidest fucking asshole on the entire planet just can't help but offer idiotic useless advice because this drooling moron imagines himself a fucking expert on everything. He's the loudmouth drunk at the end of the bar, but with nuclear weapons." ~ Jeff Tiedrich
