wez Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase.

It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life. ~ Sir Hugh Walpole There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love.

RoyalOrleans Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 "I believe in America . America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies with him; she stayed out late. I didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the hospital, her nose was a'broken. Her jaw was a'shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain. But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life, a beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful again. I went to the police, like a good American. These two boys were brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison - suspended sentence. Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool. And those two bastards, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, for justice, we must go to Don Corleone." - Bonasera ( The first line of the first Godfather. For me, the line sets the tone for the entire movie and the two sequels.) Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.
