The god entered some women so completely that they became immortal, or very close to it. Bacchus was the god of the grape, of course, so bars are very interesting to maenads. In fact, so interesting that they don't like other creatures of darkness becoming involved. Maenads consider that the violence sparked by the consumption of alcohol belongs to them; that's what they feed off, now that no one formally worships their god. And they are attracted to pride. Charlaine Harris
William Shakespeare quote: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. William Shakespeare
The difficulty, after having the experience to symbolize, lies only in having enough imagination to suspend it in a thought; and further to give this thought such verbal expression that others may be able to decipher it, and to be stirred by it as by a wind of suggestion sweeping the whole forest of their memories. George Santayana
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "For many people, one of the most frustrating aspects of life..."
For many people, one of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being able to understand other people's behavior. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
...[Y]ou have an inner strength that makes it possible for you to do things other people couldn't even begin to think of doing. Terry Brooks
Anybody who thinks that 'it doesn't matter who's President' has never been Drafted and sent off to fight and die in a vicious, stupid war on the other side of the world--or been beaten and gassed by Police for trespassing on public property--or been hounded by the IRS for purely political reasons--or locked up in the Cook County Jail with a broken nose and no phone access and twelve perverts wanting to stomp your ass in the shower. That is when it matters who is President or Governor or... Hunter S. Thompson
