I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between. — Sylvia Plath
Girls
are like the apples
on trees. The best ones
are at the top of the tree.
The boys don’t want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt,
Instead, they get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren’t as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something wrong with them when in
reality they’re amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who’s
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the trees.
I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. — Ayn Rand
At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And with steam, you can power a locomotive.
Just one degree… can make all the difference.
