How initially 'to get her in the sack' and subsequently to avoid 'her giving you the sack' are not identical dilemmas faced by the male species, but they sure have a bizarre habit of being bedfellows

In the absence of a formally agreed, worldwide dictionary definition of 'Quotography' (in 2016), here are my two cents worth: 'Quotography is the art of pairing unique quotations with complementary images in order to express thought-provoking ideas, challenging concepts, profound sentiments'.

If the surprise outcome of the recent UK referendum - on whether to leave or remain in the European Union - teaches us anything, it is that supposedly worthy displays of democracy in action can actually do more harm than good. Witness a nation now more divided; an intergenerational schism in the making; both a governing and opposition party torn to shreds from the inside; infinitely more complex issues raised than satisfactory solutions provided. It begs the question 'Was it really all worth it' ?

A professional headshot in front of a bookshelf says you're an intellectual. A professional headshot peeking though a bookshelf says you're probably under a restraining order.

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild.

Casting a curious gaze down on planet Earth, extra-terrestrial beings could well be forgiven for assuming that we humans are programmed in every move we make, by a palm-sized, oblong, slab of glass. More perplexing than that, who on earth could convince them otherwise ?

Life is difficult and those who make us laugh are angels.

Politics and justice seldom walk hand in hand.

I've never written a quote I feel would be suitable for my gravestone. Wouldn't it be ironic if it were this one? Oh, and could you pull a few weeds while you're here?

The best cure for a stick up your butt is a dog to play fetch with.

Quotes are echos of voices transporting wisdom, humor, and love. Returning again to the human condition, fleeting once more as a dove.

A quote is a story, suspended in a sentence and treasured through time.

Although my road to writing seems like it may have come easily, there were a few bumps in that road. I didn’t get a lot of encouragement from friends, although my family were great supporters. I also had many…what you would call “mind-boggling” moments, when I would doubt myself and what I was writing. It has been said that we, ourselves, are our own worst critics.All the hard work had payed off though, and I created a children’s book that I am proud of, and an unforgettable little girl that will touch the hearts of many.”-Nina Jean Slack

Be the great person you were always meant to be.

To try is to accept the possibility of failure. Simply do.

Where there is great love there is great harmony of thought.

The future begins today.

What if, as an act of worship, creating something meant healing and restoration took place instead of pain and frustration?

Happiness is not to be found at the bottom of a bottle or from the tip of a needle; it is not to be found amidst a cloud of smoke or within a sugar-coated pill. If you look for it in these places, you will find naught but despair.

The laws of men are not infallible.

It is unfortunate that for some, kindness is an unwarranted expenditure, compassion an avoidable weakness, and love an unnecessary gamble.

A steadfast heart does not stray from the path.

People who repeatedly attack your confidence and self-esteem are quite aware of your potential, even if you are not.

There are those who will resent you for not being confined by their limitations.

Sometimes people with low self-esteem will try to punish you for caring about them.

Only by fully experiencing fear, can you ever hope to control it.

Yesterday is a pile of rubble. Today is a pile of opportunity. Life takes a new dump each morning

Owning a drone does not a pilot make.

The problem with communication…is the illusion that is has been accomplished.

Do not dismiss the words of the old; they possess wisdom, which comes only with age, and often speak of things that the young are too immature to understand.

Burying your head in the sand does not make you invisible it only leads to suffocation.

Sarcasm is a manifestation of anger, and anger can make you the puppet of your opponents.

Yuh cyah vex when soca playin

To dispense knowledge without moral guidance would be grossly irresponsible.

Some people are born with a fire inside them. The will to succeed. It isn’t a learned behavior. It’s just some unknown biological factor that makes them try harder.

Of what value is your life, unless you are willing to sacrifice it for those you love?

Cries for justice are often the bitter laments of the vengeful.

Guns, double-crosses, hitmen… I can get used to a lot of things, but I’m never going to get used to sleeping where apocalypse bugs mate,” Wednesday said, walking into the room looking around. She dropped her Birkin on the floor and heard something scuttling behind the cheap plastic wood print veneer covered dresser. She turned to face Alvin, her head cocked to the side. “Seriously. I’m not saying five-star… I’m saying go on Expedia and find a place that actually has stars… any stars.

Wow. This place looks classy. The smell of fertilizer and rot is really in this season. Remind me, what are we doing here?” she asked looking at him with a coy smile. “Did we come for bait?

It must be horny douchebag day,” she mumbled under her breath as she slid the bag’s strap up on her shoulder.

Hey, Captain Neckbeard! Less talky-talky, more worky-worky!” Wednesday shouted rudely down at the man who had been changing the tire. She wasn’t planning on taking shit from a tow truck driving hick today or any other day.

Thought is more dangerous than you think.

Love is a rare and precious thing. Squander it at your peril.

Verily, there is no dishonor in death at the hands of a far superior enemy.

The more you care, the more you fear.
