With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavors and the tinglings of a merited shame. ~George Eliot

Stay all night, stay a little longer / Dance all night, dance a little longer / Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner / Don’t see why you can’t stay a little longer. (Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys)
ma belle amie — Kty strikes again. 
Daughter! what words have pass’d thy lips unweigh’d! (Replied the Thunderer to the martial maid;)
well, he cracks ME up, anyway. you’re on your own.
all you need is love / all you need is love / all you need is love / love is all you need. that, and a big enough bandwidth for streaming.
if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife….i like that song despite itself

We are not physical beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a physical experience ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways / And oh the change is gonna do me good
