In my first career it was always better to share a recipe than
to hang on to it. There were chefs before me and after my brief time in the
kitchens, galleys and commissaries of the earth there will be others.
I rent
the recipes for the decades I cook, I do not own them.
I also have no need for
a thousand recipes for chocolate mousse when one perfect recipe does the job.
So SHARE and we all get to eat good mousse !!
As a writer I believe the same. Some times my words are
eloquent, sometimes funny, sometimes thought provoking so why not share the
best bits. I don't really know where they come from , the words just enter my head. The quote of yesterday which entered my head as I walked the
boundaries of my pool, exercising was so true that I wanted to give it to the
world for it is how I felt and do feel so often. Crying frees the mind and the
fingers merely tap the thoughts onto paper, “Words flow on the back of tears.”,
is just so true. So may times when the heart opens and the tears release ,
words flow like never before.
Here then as a way to share to all future writers are some of
the best quotes from the blogs so far. Just like a good recipe all I ask is
that you give me the credit of being the originator of the writing,
…quote James Claire (1969- ) thank you
“As humans we tend to overdo
things; over work, over eat, over achieve, over act, over react, over think and
over talk.
Sometimes we need to make others
and even our children for their betterment in the future, understand that LESS IS MORE…
Sometimes if we do less….we
achieve more!
If we speak less – we have less
problems!
If we thought less – we’d have
less stress and less paranoia !
If we
decorated a plate less – we’d have food that was far more attractive !”
“You see
those who joke that I’m going grey, do not realize that as a child I was a pure
blonde haired cutie…I’m not going grey, I’m aging backwards and about to enter
my second youth…”
“One planet, so many cultures and
so many borders and I really would love to see them all, shake the hands of
some one from every race and talk to someone from every country that inhabits
the singular entity on which we all live..
Big task, small ask I feel.”
“Instead of running away, instead
of considering my self as a nomad, a close friend actually put it all into
perspective for me in a recent email
I keep saying that I’m running
away …but he proposes that I’m not .
I’m coming
home……..one country at a time.”
“True citizens of the planet, not
of a country with borders. Our borders are the limits to which flight can take
us off this rock and the limits of gravity and the atmosphere, not man made
borders on its lands.
We have no need for a passport of
a singular nationality, we detest being branded within the borders of any
nation and we see no sense of multiple currencies.
In my
country, Earth, we are all one.”
“What if… what we want is really
the one thing we should never have desired at all ?
What if
its all a con? Or a test ?”
“Is love a need or a want. Do we
need love for survival or do we want it, only for our own self gratification,
our selfishness of not wanting to live alone or do we need it for survival.”
“The two
and three day weekend…. Life’s little orgasm for hard workers!”
“Our
philosophy was, that in life what we “need” is not always what we “want”, and
the same goes vice versa, what we “want” is not always what we “need”.”
“There was
once, about 100 girlfriends ago, when I felt that I wanted to settle down and
have a house for the future. I bought it, filled it with furniture and
regretted it every day thereafter. For almost ten years all that furniture sat
in storage. I eventually owned one of the most expensive sofas in the world
thanks to that decade of wasted storage expenditure.”
“You see, there is more than
“Needs” and “Wants”; there is also “Challenge”, the unstated human element .
You see , ask yourself the
following questions;
Do you want to fall in love…not
really !!
Do you need to fall in love…who
says ..right ?
So why do we?
Partly
it’s because of the challenge of it all. To see if we can in fact woo another
party into our lives? To see IF we can live together? To see if we really make
a couple or just two people cohabitating with each other?”
“Complacency
is an easy evil to befriend. “Challenge” on the other hand, is a friend we
should all seek out and find, to remind ourselves that we are infact “ALIVE”.
Challenge in life heightens our senses and reminds us that we can indeed do
anything that we desire.”
“A + X = Y
A equals Perfection plus X
equalling flaws equate to Reality Y
whilst
A
(Perfection) – X (Flaws) = Z (Fantasy)”
“One
day..... you may desire to come back, when you finally feel that
"bump" in your own highway of life, when the cosmos vibrates upon
your soul disturbing the equilibrium of your previously placid existence.”
“All
friendships have some benefits, secrets kept, things borrowed, others loaned
and shoulders on which to cry.”
“You see,
we are all the same!! No matter what we have, we all seem to want something
else.”
“If you do
not love yourself, if you are not comfortable in your own skin, if you can not
look in the mirror and be proud and content, then how are you ever suppose to
love another or be loved.”
“True love
is to look past someone’s pitfalls and to see the beauty inside of the soul.
That’s why perfect partners are often called “soul mates.”
“Stuck in
the center of my own imploding universe until yesterday I was unable to see all
of this.”
“I suffer
now from what you might call, “Humpty Dumpty Syndrome”, no-one can ever put me
back together again , after her.”
“Perhaps
inside us all, we have only a certain number of words to express, once we have
penned them, then we are done”.
“to have
never fulfilled ones own desires of self , is to hate the self which is
unfulfilled.”
“Perfection was this angels
name. But as a friend wrote today on Facebook, "if you are not on the same
page, perhaps its time to shut the book."
Well the Angels book has been
closed and stored on the growing library of my life.”
“You can
not make people love you. You can not make people believe you and it is
pointless asking some one to stay when they have doubt.”
“Me… is
sitting in an apartment 26 floors above reality looking out on a vision of
blurry dreams.”
“Whoever made us, decides our
fates.
It’s the
days in between that are up to us.”
“All that
I write about, actually happens or happened to me at one time or another.
The
emotions are real, the tears are salted and the grief forlorn.”
“..Just
because you love someone and are injected with a passion of a thousand suns for
them, just because you can not breathe when they are not with you, just because
when you are with them the world feels whole, complete and at peace, unless the
other person feels the same, it means nothing toward the chance of a
relationship.”
“I feel love,
I feel loved therefore I say I love you.”
“You who
question me, have never stood in the shoes from whence I see!”
“Music is
not just entertainment value, it truly transcends our souls and the music we
love, (it differs to us all) can elevate our lives, calm us, transport us to
happiness or nirvana or chill us out when we need it the most.”
“Good
music fills our ears with joy, great music sets our souls free among the
clouds.”
“I know
how fast a love can be gone, life extinguished, hearts broken. In these
instances love can be taken within seconds. A blink of an eye can change your
universe for a eternity.”
“Some times in life, when we meet
the right person, the planets align, the sun shines brighter and our hearts
open up and engulf our brains.”
“Words
used correctly can leave a far deeper cut than any sharp edged blade.”
“When did I start understanding,
“Quantitative Easing”?
Oh my god,
How old am I ?”
“A healthy
imagination is the basis for a life of achievements.”
“Success
can be many things to many people. For me, it is to be able to write and be
read. Full Stop.”
“What you
feel is really what you are.......I feel happy, I feel strong and I
feel satisfied, I feel love and adore to be loved and I do not feel scared
to shed a tear in happiness or loss. In essence I simply feel comfortable about
who I am.”
“What I am.....WHO I AM.....Is
what I feel!
My cover
may look like many other books, but the content is uniquely me.”
