yay! the quotes thread has been bumped with lots of new quotes! thank you everyone! keep them coming! disorganizeddragon used to do "monthly" themes - feel free to keep up her tradition or just do free for all, like we are doing. Serendipity - love that quote about establishing goals but allowing for interesting detours love that stephen hawking quote on your signature line, hiding, about human-made viruses - and the Berber sayings, too and peaceandfreedom, that Native American quote is right-on! welcome, sagetyme! and def6 - how very true - and wise!

Sometimes people can pop into the forums only once in a while. I just enjoy them when I can.
Everyone has amnesty from any regularity with posting.
"We women are constantly at war with our bodies, it is hard to find amnesty for ourselves." - Margaret Cho, May 25, 2011

Je la demande pleine et entière. Sans conditions. Sans restrictions. Il n'y a d'amnistie que l'amnistie. L'oubli seul pardonne. L'amnistie ne se dose pas. Demander : Quelle quantité d'amnistie faut-il ? c'est comme si l'on demandait : Quelle quantité de guérison faut-il ? Nous répondons : il la faut toute. Il faut fermer toute la plaie. - Victor Hugo, 22 mai 1876-------- Translation:I am asking for amnesty. I ask for it full and whole. Without conditions. Without restrictions. There is no amnesty but amnesty. Forgetting alone forgives. Amnesty is not measured in a specific dose amount. To ask: how much amnesty must there be? that's like asking: How much healing must there be? We reply: it must be whole. We must close the wound. - Victor Hugo, May 22, 1876 --- Read here for thoughts on "amnesty" while desqualoring: takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/thread/18569

disorganizeddragon - dragoness! ha. i found an old expired check for $150 from a friend from when the cat was so sick. (she replaced it, bless her!) and another expired check from a year ago for some art prints i sold at quilt camp. so yes, i love your quote. so lovely to see you! hugs, cc interesting quote, CourageouslyLion SeeksSerenity. i know little to nothing about Victor Hugo but wonder a lot about the context of his quote, but i figure it has something to do with being exiled from France.

interesting quote, CourageouslyLion SeeksSerenity . i know little to nothing about Victor Hugo but wonder a lot about the context of his quote, but i figure it has something to do with being exiled from France. I can PM you the context if you need it. There is no need to clutter up time googling that. . My posting that quote... was intended to remind us that we can use the principle of amnesty to forgive ourselves from any feelings of inner disharmony. and just move forward with recovery. Anyhow. Since this is a quote thread, and not a discussion thread, I'll stop there.
