niiiiiiiiiiiiice quote.  I like it a lot.  I'll have to get that book.\n\nBasically, it says that if you are the type of person to let things roll over and over and over in your head without ever coming to some sort of resolution, you will always get behind in everything you really want to do in life.\n\nIn terms of respect, there are a couple of thoughts on this.  How will you respect yourself if you don't respect others?  How will you be perceived as an honorable person if you let others run over you or you straddle the fence on important issues all the time?  \n\nI disagree with one statement.  "You have to demand respect in this world,......"  Actually, I don't demand respect.  I don't have to because I can look at you or speak to you in such a way that the respect comes natural.  \n\nI command respect by my mere presence.

First there is a link below with an annotated version. It is below if you want to read it.\n\nONCE upon a time an old queen, whose husband had been dead for many years, had a beautiful daughter. When she grew up she was betrothed to a prince who lived a great way off. Now, when the time drew near for her to be married and to depart into a foreign kingdom, her old mother gave her much costly baggage, and many ornaments, gold and silver, trinkets and knicknacks, and, in fact, everything that belonged to a royal trousseau, for she loved her daughter very dearly. She gave her a waiting- maid also, who was to ride with her and hand her over to the bridegroom, and she provided each of them with a horse for the journey. Now the Princess's horse was called Falada, and could speak.\n\nWhen the hour for departure drew near the old mother went to her bedroom, and taking a small knife she cut her fingers till they bled; then she held a white rag under them, and letting three drops of blood fall into it, she gave it to her daughter, and said: "Dear child, take great care of this rag: it may be of use to you on the journey."\n\nSo they took a sad farewell of each other, and the Princess stuck the rag in front of her dress, mounted her horse, and set forth on the journey to her bridegroom's kingdom. After they had ridden for about an hour the Princess began to feel very thirsty, and said to her waiting- maid: "Pray get down and fetch me some water in my golden cup out of yonder stream: I would like a drink." \n\n"If you're thirsty," said the maid, "dismount yourself, and lie down by the water and drink; I don't mean to be your servant any longer."The Princess was so thirsty that she got down, bent over the stream, and drank, for she wasn't allowed to drink out of the golden goblet. As she drank she murmured: "Oh! heaven, what am I to do?" and the three drops of blood replied:\n\n"If your mother only knew,\nHer heart would surely break in two."\n\nBut the Princess was meek, and said nothing about her maid's rude behavior, and quietly mounted her horse again. They rode on their way for several miles, but the day was hot, and the sun's rays smote fiercely on them, so that the Princess was soon overcome by thirst again. And as they passed a brook she called once more to her waiting-maid: "Pray get down and give me a drink from my golden cup," for she had long ago forgotten her maid's rude words. But the waiting-maid replied, more haughtily even than before: "If you want a drink, you can dismount and get it; I don't mean to be your servant." Then the Princess was compelled by her thirst to get down, and bending over the flowing water she cried and said: "Oh! heaven, what am I to do?" and the three drops of blood replied:\n\n"If your mother only knew,\nHer heart would surely break in two."\n\nAnd as she drank thus, and leaned right over the water, the rag containing the three drops of blood fell from her bosom and floated down the stream, and she in her anxiety never even noticed her loss. But the waiting-maid had observed it with delight, as she knew it gave her power over the bride, for in losing the drops of blood the Princess had become weak and powerless. When she wished to get on her horse Falada again, the waiting- maid called out: "I mean to ride Falada: you must mount my beast"; and this too she had to submit to. Then the waiting-maid commanded her harshly to take off her royal robes, and to put on her common ones, and finally she made her swear by heaven not to say a word about the matter when they reached the palace; and if she hadn't taken this oath she would have been killed on the spot. But Falada observed everything, and laid it all to heart.\n\nThe waiting-maid now mounted Falada, and the real bride the worse horse, and so they continued their journey till at length they arrived at th

Here's a resource. Go check it out. For more, just type "T.S. Eliot 'the Wasteland', mythology" into your search engine and look it up, the old-fashioned way!\n\nDon't forget Five-paragraph construction, especially on a 12-page paper!

In the poem "Music I Heard", written by Conrad Aiken, the love expressed is different. The character of the poem is a man, that is speaking about his loved one. Full of memories, he has flashbacks of when the loved one was around him and his belongings. After the loved person left, he is lonely. The memories are coming back to him in the quote (line #5), " Your hands one touched this table and this silver". He misses her and the good times they had together. He wants to have her come back to him. She is now only in his heart full of past memories.\n\nThe feeling that love brings in this poem is sadness. The sadness of missing the loved one is great. He is lonely and full of memories that still light up his hopes for having her come back. He remembers her actions and what she touched, but only the memories are left. The sadness is expressed in this quote (line # 3-4) by the character. "Now that I am without you all is desolate;/ and all that was once so beautiful is dead." He misses her a lot, and does not like things that much as he did when she was around.

Well, I have amused myself by reading it.  I think it speaks something about society.  I've never read anything particularly funny, usually the tired old ditties starting out with "Here I sit all broken-hearted tried to s--t but only f----d.  Not particularly funny or ingenious rhyme.

I read that book, and I also read the 2 that followed it...\n\nI found the book to be very good, although disturbing. I was at work when I read it. I started at 9 am, and didn't put it down until I finished it. \n\nWhat I liked about it:\n\nI didn't like the fact that a child had to endure that abuse, but what I did like about it was the fact that I know without a shadow of a doubt that my children are not abused. I am happy about the fact that my children know they will have a full stomach, they can eat when they are hungry, and that they know they have a mother that loves them and would never harm them. I also like that "David" could grow to have a son of his own and know that he would never put his son through what his own mother put him through. Glad that he could grow to have a normal, happy life.

I haven't read it.  I have heard it's very good though.  It's by C.S. Lewis and is a parody-like book about a demon named Screwtape who writes to his cousin Wormwood about how to tempt Christians.  It's a pretty creative way of writing about temptations Christians have and I've always been interested in reading it since I first heard about it.\n\nFor a good synopsis of the book you can go to the book's website page on what it's about here:\n\nhttp://www.biblestudyinfo.com/screwtape/synopsis.shtml

Frodo Baggins:\n\nBecause my journey of life has been lined with paths that are peaceful, trying - even impossible at times, lonely, confusing, amazingly pure and innocent - even spiritual. \n\nThrough all of these paths I find that it's so hard to keep my way... without the few (but very good) friends that I have to support me. Often, undeserved friends because I sadly am not always equally a friend to them in return, but they stand by me nevertheless... because they I understand the person I am [trying to be].\n\nOnly Frodo could truly understand the battles/truimph he had gone through and it set him apart mentally. He thought, "there is no going back". That is exactly where I feel in my life a lot of the time. That I've just gone through whatever experience(s) and now I can never be the person I was before I experienced it. Those lines in the movie make me cry nearly everytime I hear them.\n\nThat is why I would be Frodo Baggins, Mr. Sky/Mr. Box. Thanks.

T.S.Elliott - as you well know Blondie.  I thought it was from "The Wasteland", but I have long grown out of my adolescent fascination with Thomas Stearns, no disrespect to his undoubted abilities.  He did coin some good expressions, which is a mark of ability, if not greatness.\n\nIt was Queen Elizabeth 11 (then Princess Elizabeth) who, sitting politely in the background while Elliot read his Wasteland and other compositions to King George and his queen at Windsor Castle (by invitation) could not conceal her amusement at his ridiculous presentation and, accompanied with equal mirth by Margaret, burst into hilarious giggles!!  No doubt her parents were embarrassed, but Elizabeth, even then, was cleverer than them, and hers was the better verdict.  What a wonderful woman she is - who can match her in England? : even the great Margaret Thatcher (God bless her!) couldn't.  Her son Charles gave his most impressive speech at her 80th birthday : did you all see and hear that?  God save the Queen!   I think T.S. Elliott would echo that sentiment.

Yes, I have read it, in fact if you look at my bio you'll see it listed.  Reading "don't take things personally" made me cry.  To think I had lived so long and set myself up for so much pain, when I read these words, it had a PROFOUND change on my thinking.  \n\nGreat read, and I work hard to make the agreements a way of life.  \n\nPeace.

Hi,\n I gotta give lots of credit to the person who asked this question because I personally love Danielle's novels and she really is my all time favorite author (besides Stephen King) \n I have read lots of Danielle's novels but the novel that I enjoyed the most was entitled Johnny Angel. \n I can seriously relate to the situation in this novel since I went through a very simuliar situation myself when I was only 17 years old.\n I cried tears that I never even knew existed anymore and all my emotions and feelings just came pouring out of me while I was reading this novel. \n This novel helped me to take a look at the past and to help me deal with the feelings that I kept so bottled-up inside of myself through all these years.\n Danielle's novels have a way of touching my heart as well as making me realize the importance of family, friends, children and just being able to keep myself together when things around me are falling apart.\n As long as Danielle keeps writing her novels...I personally will be sure to keep reading them and to remain her biggest fan!
