Oscar Fashion: Angelina Jolie Wins
The Oscar for best-dressed at the Oscars, however, goes to Angelina Jolie, in a daring, strapless Versace gown of black velvet, with a bustle and an asymmetrical bodice that resembled tulip-petals, slit to show off her legs to die for. That is more like it: something to die for! She resembled Sargent’s Madame X.

sometimes I don’t know when something is important, and when it’s not. most of the time I don’t really know what I’m doing.
the greatest demarcation of my life is more and more an acknowledgement that I don’t know. i try. I lead with my heart as often as possible. I try to be honest to a fault, to be brave most especially when it hurts and when I’m terrified...

One Reason Why I'm Not A Cynic
betheboy:
Yesterday while riding the train home I was approached by a man who asked me if I could help him out. I don’t know if he was homeless but he looked to be in pretty bad shape so I gave him what I could. I usually do this, not because I’m a wonderful or special person, but just because I’m a person who believes that I have a responsibility to help those who have less than I do. Now I...

That bring you no joy.
Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly
And wants to rip to shreds
All your erroneous notions of truth
