The Black Apple: A Tribute

Smiths Girl Print from the The Black Apple (Etsy)... Just looking at my favorite Etsy shops and found this cool print. Love the phrase on the T-shirt...looked up the song that inspired it and...not so much. In honor of my half birthday, I'd just like to point out that, when my birthday does come, I would not mind any of these beautiful prints just showing up in my mail box or at my party with a pretty bow on it. Some I like better than others and I've included them here (Smiths Girl Print is not my favorite, I just like the message). This artist is like vintage meets emo and I love it... some go with my oldies theme in my kitchen and with some of my holiday decorations...I'm

just sayin' is all...

Okay so actually really any of them on her store...amazig...I was trying to copy my favorites and it was getting ridiculous...check it out...you'll love it too!

Profound Thoughts!

"The greater a man's-or boy's- ignorance of the world, the more certain he is that he sits in the center of that world."

Bear from Cripsin, Newberry award winner 2004

"Peter did not feel very brave; indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do. He rushed straight up to the monster and aimed a slash of his sword at its side..."

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

"When you hug someone, you learn something else about them. An important something else."
From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

"You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by."
J.M. Barrie Peter Pan

"And one thing was absolutely certain-life had never been sweeter."
An Oompa Loompa and the last lines of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

"We did the best we could with what we had at the time." -Maya Angelou

When Sam is asked if he likes The Elves once he finally meets them, after having been fascinated with them for so long he says this:
"They seem a bit above my likes and dislikes, so to speak. It don't seem to matter what I think about them. They are quite different from what I expected-so old and young, and so gay and sad, as it were."

I've met Elves then in my own life...amazing how two opposite things like old and young or gay and sad can exist in the same beings. Elves were also very wise in my opinion...the combination of both good and bad is what allows for wisdom. So it goes...

From Elijah of Buxton (A Newberry Award Winner)
"Fish eating's like anything else in life Elijah. If you go at it 'specting something bad to happen, all you gunn do is draw that bad thing to you. You caint be timid 'bout nothing you do, you got to go at it like you 'specting good things to come out of it. If I's to worry 'bout bones choking me, it'd happen every time I et fish. Ain't nothing further from my mind."

Friend Julia on a handsome young man she (and I) think I should go for: "You should take him up...new hobby."
Good advice I'm thinking!

From Meet the Robinsons: "Keep moving forward!"
Aunt Billie: From failure you learn; from success, not so much."

On social engagements with some random person when you'd rather be talking to the hottie on the other side of the room... Working outside of your own agenda. Quote from Isaac Jones... "If you are focused on others then you are happy to be in whatever conversation comes your way."

Forgot how funny Shakespeare is... The Merchant of Venice
Portia of her retreating suitors: "...there is not one among them but I dote on his very absence: and I pray God grant them a fair departure."

Quote from A Tale of Two Cities...describing how Charles Darnay revealed information to the French king: "wickedly, falsely, traitorously, and otherwise evil-adverbiously..." Haha...love evil-adverbiously

From The Secret Life of Bees
"...impossibility. I can tell you this much: the word is a great big log thrown on the fires of love."

From To Kill a Mockingbird
Scout: "I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."

From To Kill a Mockingbird
Atticus: "They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."

From The Office
Stanley: I wake up every morning in a bed that's too small, drive my daughter to a school that's too expensive, and go to work to a job for which I get paid too little, but on pretzel day...well, I like pretzel day."

Quote from Batman Begins: "Why do we fall Bruce...so we can learn to pick ourselves back up."

From Juno

Juno McGuff: "You're cool without even trying at all."

Paulie Bleaker: "Actually, I try really hard"

From The Office

Michael Scott: "I'm not SUPERsticious...but I am a little sticious."
