Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

"Douglas told me in the strictest confidence exactly why 42. The answer is fascinating, extraordinary and, when you think hard about it, completely obvious but sadly I cannot share it with anyone and the secret must go with me to the grave. Pity, because it explains so much beyond the books. It really does explain the secret of life, the universe, and everything." - Sir Stephen Fry (on being asked why the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything in Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was '42')

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes. By the deep sea, and music in its roars; I love not man the less, but nature more.

"Blessed is the corpse that gets rained on" - My neighbour, Elsie, this morning.
She was talking about the horrible day we had yesterday for my other neighbour's funeral and said her mother used to use that saying but she didn't have a clue what it meant. A quick Google later and I found this - Blessed is the bride the sun shines on and blessed are the dead the rain rains on. 17th Century proverb apparently.

F.Scott Fitzgerald used almost the same line inThe Great Gatsby:
Blessed are the dead that the rain falls on.
Thought about that line the first time I heard Dave Matthew's Gravedigger....
