The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope.
It's like if you can't focus on a movie for 90 minutes without looking at your phone then don't go to the movies! You've got some issues so you should probably stay home and work on those issues and not distract everyone with lights and sounds oh my gosh the tapping on the screens it makes me crazy!
Turn up the lights. I don't want to go home in the dark.
In all honesty at that time I never saw myself as an author... I was just a Mom in a state of panic trying to enter a short story contest to win the prize money in order to keep the lights on in my home.
Unless you have been to boarding-school when you are very young it is absolutely impossible to appreciate the delights of living at home.
I'm a firm believer that lighting affects mood and twinkly lights on strings bring something magical to occasions ranging from concerts to weddings though I'm fond of using them as year-round home decor. There's a reason why they're sometimes called fairy lights. When the night is right there aren't any strings at all.
Well after the divorce I went home and turned all the lights on!
It is work work that one delights in that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison.
When a small child I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment but soon flits away.
Rugby is great. The players don't wear helmets or padding they just beat the living daylights out of each other and then go for a beer. I love that.
I just want to say good night sweet prince may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
There was my name up in lights. I said 'God somebody's made a mistake.' But there it was in lights. And I sat there and said 'Remember you're not a star.' Yet there it was up in lights.
The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it but is always breaking away from the present moment and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope.
Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window.
I recorded my hair this morning tonight I'm watching the highlights.
The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.
Many people are in the dark when it comes to money and I'm going to turn on the lights.
