I Really Don't Know Life At All.




Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.

- Christopher Morley (1890 - 1957)


I don't even know which is the foreign language being used.

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say I love you right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way.

But now old friends are acting strange.
They shake their heads; they say I've changed.
Well something's lost but something's gained,
In living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow,
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life, at all.

- Joni Mitchell (Both Sides Now)


No, I really don't know life at all.

I Really Don't Know Love At All.



"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."

- Woody Allen,


"This is how much I know about love."

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,

The dizzy dancing way you feel

As every fairy tale comes real.

I've looked at love that way.

But now it's just another show,

You leave 'em laughing when you go.

And if you care, don't let them know.

Don't give yourself away.


I've looked at love from both sides now,

From give and take, and still somehow,

It's love's illusions I recall.

I really don't know love, at all.

Happy With Imperfections?





“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

- Frederick Keonig


Thinking we’ll be happy by getting what we don’t have is an illusion.
Being happy with what we do have is already a fact.

“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

- Anonymous


Happy is the man who is happy with the imperfections of his world.
