Life should not be measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Anon.
The body is but a ship that sails on the sea of life.
Tha angle of the dangle is equally proportional to the heat of the meat provided that the urge to surge remains constant.

Oooh, I just read this in a literature textbook (joyous summer reading!) and I am endeavouring to get it learnt:
"Language most shows a man: speak that I may see thee. It springs out of the most retired, and inmost parts of us, and is the image of the parent of it, the mind. No glass renders a man's form, or likeness, so true as his speech."
Ben Jonson, from Explorata: or Discoveries, 1640

Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry contains some of my favourite quotes ever... as well as very beautiful illustrations. Here's a few:
Quand on a terminé sa toilette du matin, il faut faire soigneusement la toilette de la planète.
When you've finished getting yourself ready in the morning, you must go get the planet ready.

Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Vous êtes belles, mais vous êtes vides.... On ne peut pas mourir pour vous.
You're beautiful, but you're empty.... No one could die for you.
Les hommes ont oublié cette vérité, dit le renard. Mais tu ne dois pas l’oublier. Tu deviens responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as apprivoisé.
"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."
Les enfants seuls savent ce qu'ils cherchent
Only children know what they are looking for
Ce qui embellit le désert, dit le petit prince, c'est qu'il cache un puits quelque part...
"What makes the desert beautiful," says the little prince, "is that somewhere it hides a well."
Mais les yeux sont aveugles. Il faut chercher avec le cœur.
But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart...
Lifes journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out screaming SHIT!!!! WHAT A RIDE!
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
Judy Garland
