Yet the ivory gods, And the ebony gods, And the gods of diamond-jade, Are only silly puppet gods That people themselves Have made.-
Humor is laughing at what you haven’t got when you ought to have it.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.
Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.
I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.
Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.
Though you may hear me holler,And you may see me cry–I’ll be dogged, sweet baby,If you gonna see me die.
Oh, God of Dust and Rainbows,
Help us to see
That without the dust the rainbow
Would not be.
So since I’m still here livin’,I guess I will live on.I could’ve died for love–But for livin’ I was born.
I went down to the river,I set down on the bank.I tried to think but couldn’t,So I jumped in and sank.
