"No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath... We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?"

Are You Aslan? Cause You Just Melted This Heart Of Stone

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Even though I've always been single on V-Day, I've still managed to have amazing Valentine's Days. I enjoy the day of February 14.

Mainly cause I get to use this opportunity to practice my pick-up lines :D

Which in case no one got their fill today, here's some great ones throughout history:

Adam: Let's hide from Mr. Nosey up there, and have some fun. What's the worst that could happen?

Noah: There's room for one more!

Homer: Date me, or I'll bore you to death.

Socrates: Date me, or I'll confuse you to death.

Plato: Date me, or I'll prove you don't exist.

Alexander the Great: Do you know that I'm often called "The Great"? And I have no ideawhat the men call me, heh, heh, heh.

Julius Caesar: I came. I saw. I'm asking.

Michelangelo: I feel like before I met you, everyone I'd ever known was made of stone.

Leonardo da Vinci: I find your smile absolutely intriguing.

Martin Luther: Haven't you heard? Turns out we wouldn't have to go to confession at all!

Galileo: Other men may tell you they can bring you the moon. But look through this.

Sir Isaac Newton: Tell you what: You date me, and I'll let you borrow my wig.

William Shakespeare: Forsooth! Gway'ne ferbernitch won myryacle portenieth! Fie uponst thou eyre'nt hisslyp! Wait! Come back!

George Washington: I cannot tell a lie. Martha is my sister. From Nevada.

Benjamin Franklin: You know, in France I'm considered quite the catch. I am, too! Stop laughing.

Napoleon: My dear, I could bring you the world on a platter. Seriously. By, like, this Thursday.

Abraham Lincoln: I know when you look at me, all you see is my gargantuan nose, ears, lips, chin, cheekbones, and eyebrows. And my Amish beard. And my stovepipe hat. And my mournful expression. And my ill-fitting clothes. You know what? Forget it.

Vincent Van Gogh: Ear's lookin' at you!

Sigmund Freud: As far as I'm concerned, there's just you and my mother--I mean, and no other.

Thomas Edison: I know you've never heard this phrase before, but trust me: You turn me on.

Albert Einstein: I know this sounds crazy, but I'm late for an important awards ceremony. Do you happen to have a comb or hairbrush on you that I could borrow?

Pablo Picasso: So, here come do often you?

Adolph Hitler: Hi, I'm Adolph Hit ... come back!

Mahatma Gandhi: I've been watching you watching me. And I think we both know that, deep down, you want to rub my head.

Winston Churchill: I've been watching you watching me. And I think we both know that, deep down, you want to rub Mahatma Gandhi's head. I can arrange that!

John Fitzgerald Kennedy: Next!



For real through, on Valentine's Day, I like to read this book:

"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare composed poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'" --Martin Luther King Jr
