"I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but dull as dishwater. I hate to go to bed. I hate to get up. And I hate to be alone." -- Tallulah Bankhead
I so relate to this. Especially the first two. Those really are very difficult and challenging energy transitions that we have to be able to summon up on a daily basis. Ugggghhh....
What famous person said something that you fell in love with? I love brainy quotes.

All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music. - Walter Pater
I love all artistic mediums, but I think music is special due to how completely abstract/alien it is even at it's most traditional. Other artforms have to "devolve" quite a bit to get to that level.

"No one has the right to an opinion founded on ignorance."

1. Avoid fried meats, which angry up the blood.
2. If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.
3. Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move.
4. Go very light on the vices such as carrying on in society; the social ramble ain't restful.
5. Avoid running at all times.
6. Don't look back; something might be gaining on you.
-Satchel Paige
