I think I would steal erm… borrow a tag line that my son’s scout master uses for his email:

“The secret of life is not in learning how to survive the storm but rather learning how to dance in the rain.”

“For us, there is only the trying….”

This line from T.S. Eliot is my tagline on another site.

I’d probubly change mine from time to time :-) any one of these would do…......

Oh i think this would suit just fine :¬)

I have some others (some of them actually more or less optimistic) that I’d use from time to time, but this would probably be the default.

From The New Rome by Robert Buchanan:

The gods are dead, but in their name
Humanity is sold to shame,
While (then as now!) the tinsel’d Priest
Sitteth with robbers at the feast,
Blesses the laden blood-stain’d board,
Weaves garlands round the butcher’s sword,
And poureth freely (now as then)
The sacramental blood of Men!

Send me some lovin’ and I’ll pass it forward

Don’t squat with spurs on.

I tried to see where this quote came from, and apparently it’s actually a book. I kind of want it.

or maybe it’s the barbiturates

I think I will try that on a few posts

It would be the same one I use on other forums. Maybe you recognize it ;)

“Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are a million to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.”

-Terry Pratchett

Godammit! I CARE!!!

The only people to get even with are those that have helped you.

He who binds to himself a Joy,
Doth the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Etertnity’s sunrise.

William Blake
=======================

The look of love alarms
Because ‘tis filled with fire;
But the look of soft deceit
Shall win the lover’s hire.

William Blake

@WasCy : That Blake stanza was introduced to us during my first week at college. In a reguired freshman English comp class, the teacher read the poem, paused and then asked us to do a short exegesis, before any classroom discussion.

I wrote some drippy slop and got my one and only D during my academic career. I have never forgotten those four lines.

It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.

My runner-up; Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes. Henry David Thoreau

I guess something about horror. Like…

The darkest souls are not those who choose to remain within the hell of the abyss, but those who walk amongst us. *Dr. Samuel Loomis

Or maybe…

When there is no more room in Hell, the dead shall walk the earth.

Or again…

The angels may not remember what we said here the night…but they sure will remember what we did.

Either that or just a bunch of animated zombies messing around and making a mess.

or… “What we seek, at the deepest level, is inwardly to resemble, rather than physically to possess, the objects and places that touch us through their beauty.” Alain de Botton
