of our discontent...

'I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.'
- Agatha Christie

'There are more guests at table than the hosts
Invited; the illuminated hall
Is thronged with quiet, inoffensive ghosts,
As silent as the pictures on the wall.'
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

'The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have.'
- Woody Allen

'I'm a girl and by me that's only great,
I am proud that my silhouette is curvy,
that I walk with a sweet and girlish gait,
with my hips kind of swivelly and swirly!
I adore being dressed in something PRETTY,
when my date comes to meet my at the door,
out I go with my Jo or John or Billy,
like a philly who is ready for the race!'
- Doris Day
