“I remember walking into drugstores
when I was younger
and seeing all the hair color boxes
on the shelves and just being
so in awe.
Having the control
to dye your hair and
change your look is such
a part of self-expression.”
~ Olivia Wilde
“Going to a restaurant is
one of my keenest pleasures.
Meeting someplace with old
and new friends, ordering wine,
eating food, surrounded by strangers,
I think is the core of what
it means to live a civilized life.”
~ Adam Gopnik
The Urban Legend of Ghost Bride Is Shockingly Real. The infamous bridal ghost of Fairmont Banff Springs continues to aimlessly roam the hallways of the century-old prestigious hotel. And who can blame her? Years ago, on the most important day of her life, while descending a spiral staircase, the hem of her gown caught fire from lighted candles causing her to fatally tumble down the marble steps. From the ballroom above, imagine the terrifying gasps as her body lay crumpled like a rag doll at the foot of the stairs. To this day, hotel guests claim the presence of a young woman,dressed all in white, visibly wanders around the staircase or can be spotted waltzing in the ballroom above. Beware the icy breeze. It’s enough to raise the hair on your arm.
“I think I will be able to,
in the end,
rise above the clouds and
climb the stairs to Heaven,
and I will look down
on my beautiful life.”
~ Yayoi Kusama
“I am sometimes a fox
and sometimes a lion.
The whole secret of government
lies in knowing when to be
one or the other.”
~ Napoleon Bonaparte
“We call it the zigzag theory.
You want to find something
that zigs
and something that zags and blend them together
to get a better combined performance.”
~ Louis Navellier
“There are infinite shadings
of light and shadows and colors…
it’s an extraordinarily subtle language.
Figuring out how to speak
that language is
a lifetime job.”
~ Conrad Hall
“Few things in the world
are more powerful than
a positive push. A smile.
A world of optimism and hope.
A ‘You can do it!’
when things are tough.”
~ Richard M. DeVos
“It is not part
of a true culture
to tame tigers,
any more than it is
to make sheep ferocious.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
