Love and being vulnerable

“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket–safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.”
--C.S. Lewis

Vulnerability

“When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability… To be alive is to be vulnerable.”
--Madeleine L’Engle

The Blind Side

Now, I don't know much about sports, nor do I know enough about college sports scouting. But, what I do know is this movie touched my heart. Yeah, sure you can summarize it if you want as the white rich folks with a lot of time helping the poor big black dude. But it's beyond that...I think it all just spawned from someone trying to look after someone walking in the cold. And the fact that this movie is based on a real story is even more uplifting...Yay!

Greed

"...The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind..."
--Fictitious Gordon Gekko

justice

"You take the first step by going to God and asking him to be in charge of your justice. You've been hurt and you want justice, but that's his job, not yours. "
-Anonymous

education

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

Life

Killer quote

3 idiots

Went to go watch this with 11 lovely ladies from my family. :P FUN! Movie was directed\produced by the same team that did the Munnabhai series and I sensed that. There is that simple human to human bonding feeling thruout the movie. Some parts are pointless, but over all a feel good movie with enough charm and humor to carry recommendation weight. The idiots did not look like college students, but that can be overlooked...hahaa. Boman Irani was exceptional! I want to see this man grow and grow and grow!
