blewaway5 0 #1 January 24, 2003 I saw something that made me think of this and I wanted to share it with that person, so I did, but then I got to thinking that it's a pretty kick ass description of some of my favorite people so I thought I'd share it with you all. Bonus points if you know where it's from "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'awww!'"

nacmacfeegle 0 #3 January 24, 2003 Cool, reminds me of this.... "All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible." T. E. Lawrence from "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

I live by a motto that is similar!.... is “dream big, but don’t be afraid to bring those dreams to life!” If all you do is dream; you’re a dreamer. If you turn those dreams to reality, you’re just starting to live!”My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
