A New World Made of Snow ~ Quotes

This is what it looked like outside the window earlier today, before it got dark: (my dad had made a bonfire...)

And on the windowpane outside...a new world made of snow...

Enya - Amid the Falling Snow <link to song

I adore this song! To me, Roma Ryan's lyrics for Enya are always such wonderful, beautiful poetry: A million feathers falling down, a million stars that touch the ground... or: I close my window to the night, I leave the sky her tears of white, and all is lit by candle-light, amid the falling snow... and soooo many other bits I'd list but that would be a bit crazy!

Anyhow, I thought I'd also post a couple quotes from one of my favorite quoters, George Bernard Shaw.

“Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.”

“Be like the sun and meadow, which are not in the least concerned about the coming winter.”
“Few people think more than two or three times a year. I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.”

“Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap.”

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
“A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.”
 “The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity.”

And those are only some of the prolific ones! There are lots of really funny ones too that I'll post later as I am sick of cutting and pasting...

I suppose I'm in such a colorful mood because of the pretty but drab white and gray outdoors!
