Becks, clearly I've offended you - dunno why, but didn't mean to. That's not what I'm about. Look if you want to tell me what's on your mind, you can get my email address from my profile.

I love that Daisy - altho I'm still trying to figure it out! It's kind've like a ringfight between freedom v's conformity, and yet freedom is conformity... of a type. Anyways, enough of that. I've got another one:



' Modern slavery is always a delicate pleasure if freely presented'

Daisy and Spider,

re: Modern slavery is always a delicate pleasure if freely presented'



There's the most gorgeous Frenchman working for our company - tweed waistcoats and jackets, sexy French accent - ok - enough - I know!

But he said this to me once. The man is intelligent, cooky, smart and fun and very passionate. And trustworthy - a good old soul. That's why I wrote it down. And that's why it is one of my favs - 'cos it's sincere.

Thank you Yvonne



I wish I had quoted it first but it was by an American philosopher and writer

Elbert Green Hubbard 1856-1915



He also quoted this 'Dignity is a mask we wear to hide our ignorance'

Also (I think) Winston Churchill. Conversation between him and Lady Astor:





Him - "You, madam, are ugly"

Her - "And you, Sir, are drunk"

Him - "Yes, but in the morning, I will be sober"

"He/she writing all this crap above should look for another board".



A quote from Friedrich Nietzsche (Well, he could have said it...).



PS. "che sara sara." Lesson one, just an example: if you don't know how to write it, don't write it. "Que sera, sera" (French, translation: What will be, will be).
