How to Love a woman - Bob Marley




How to love a woman.
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” -Bob Marley

Chaplin - Circus


...Charlie on the set of the Circus after a fire that destroyed a good portion of it...
The Circus was probably Charlie’s most difficult film to complete. There was so much turmoil going on in his life, including a divorce and the death of his mother Hannah, as well as numerous technical difficulties that caused delay after delay...

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.
Charlie Chaplin
British actor, director, & screenwriter (1889 - 1977)

An essential element of any art is risk. If you don’t take a risk then how are you going to make something really beautiful, that hasn’t been seen before ?

Bruce Lee


If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
