I have no idea why this inspires me, but anyway......
'I was only in a childish way connected to the established order;
I was terrified of oysters and glanced distrustfully at guardsmen;
And not a grain of my soul owes anything to that world of power, however much I was tortured trying to be someone else.'
Mandelstam
or - I saw the world of power through a child's eyes - oysters frightened me. I looked bashfully at the sentries.
I like the first translation better - anything by mandelstam i find inspiring.

"Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all." ~Helen Keller
Who said "Life is a stage and we are merely the players"... ?? (VERY TRUE)
Shakespeare.......He also said, "There is nothing good or bad, but THINKING makes it so."
The more I THINK about it the more true this is.... VERY true.. It's also sometimes the things you fear the most, will happen to you not so? What do you call that?
FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real.
Think about this....our thoughts create our actions, our actions then create our lives, therefore...what we think is what we are and what we become.
We are very powerful creatures who do not know the unlimited powers that our mind contains. Hmmm.....just some thoughts to ponder.

hhmmmm......sounds like you haven't really experienced fear - where your body acts independently to you mind and no amount of positive thinking can stop it.
I can understand applying your post to anxiety, however i think sometimes people are inclined to underestimate the all-consuming qualities of fear.

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the begining of wisdom.

Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.

Love and fear cannot exist at the same time.
... if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.

I agree also, I'd rather be loved than feared, but hey, I was just finishing out the quote.
We do not dare things that are hard,
Things are hard because who do not dare.

nice quote 66!
i think i'd rather be feared than loved - actually i don't know - either one works in its own context - but then fear is such an integral part of love anyway - the whole transgressing of boundaries etc.
On the theme of daring (my favourite captain sisco quote):
fortune favours the bold.

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!"

Hello fellow gems! I'd like to know what celebrity best represents us? It can be anyone.
Hi all...just replied to a few posts which got me thinking...do we and how many of us actually believe we have a soul.

Fuckin f*** writer's block!
I seem to have been really angry over the last month or so and aside from blaming it on the tendancies of an irregular personality, I think maybe it has something to do with this current state of writer's block.

If you feel a connection with another person of the opposite sex should pursue it, even though you and the other person seem like an unlikely couple— And yes, the pros do out weigh the cons.

You wake up one morning...swing your legs over the side of the bed...and then realize they are particularly short!

I can't stand being told what to do such as at my job. Do you have the same feeling?
Hey all you gems, A scorpio friend (female) of mine is mad at me, but I'm not sure why.
Maybe because I called her on her secretiveness and the fact that she never shares her feelings and blows hot and cold.
Anyway, now she refuses to s
