Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is tuned on. — Louis L’Amour
Quotation from the Bible:
Rev 6:1-9
6:1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!"
2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"
4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.
5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"
8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

finally finished this up for my shop. I love working with letters/text so this was way fun. Working on another one currently.
Your smile is always a sweet memory
Your voice is still whispering in my ears.
Your affectionate approach is touched with joy
A hint of love and attention often appears.

NOTE:
Most of the above 160 Romanian women, in the best tradition of versatility, are true polymaths and therefore nearly each one of them falls in more than just one category, often three or more. This explains why adding the numbers of the 57 individual categories bears no relation to the actual total of the above 160 women included in Blouse Roumaine.

慶祝創刊週年的「QUOTATION」No.5予定將於10月発売。開度和用紙明顯改變，就連表紙設計也同步換新。本期收錄了上海、曼谷、台北、孟買等亞洲各都市的創造性景色。並大幅介紹結合商店、芸廊和出版的創意工作室：包括青山的CIBONE、北倫敦的Concrete Hemit、愛丁堡的It's Nice That，以及強力輸出東京文化的Tokyo Cultuart by Beams。另特別專訪了布魯塞爾時尚插画新秀Jarno Kettunen，以及曾出版《如何成為頂尖設計師》一書的英國資深設計家Adrian Shaughnessy等人。實際上本期最讓人注目的並非內容而是封面，因為採用的居然是國人熟悉的台北迪化街景，雖然不知是否因應中文版發行而刻意安排，但在視覺上確實已產生破題聚焦的效果，希望有朝一日下北沢世代也能成為「QUOTATION」受邀刊訪的對象。
I created this poster using PhotoShop. It is meant to be printed at a size of 8x10 or 16x20. You are free to print and hang in your own space or classroom. Thanks!
Please note the intricate geometric pattern demonstrating a high skill and concern for an intricacy.
The whole aspect is almost Cycladic in style, of a kind that one finds in Eastern Mediterranean.
All in all one has the impression that one looks at a precursor of an embroidered Romanian blouse covered in delilcate stitches.

Note the decoration on this clay artefact which precedes by several millenia the intricate but not dissimilar pattern of sticthes that decorate the Romanian ethnic blouses.
Dobrogea Neolithic Goddess of Fertility
Note the elongated (phallic) neck the prominent hips and bosoms - al symbols of fertility.
The missing head is a rule (no need to think - just to procreate!). A few incisions decorate the body.

Toronto Pride parade: PM Justin Trudeau rainbow colour socks theme, inclusively had conspicuous religious quotations
In Graduate school, my wife wrote an academic term paper for a psychology class titled, “The three effs to a happy marriage, everything else is either a dependency or a contingency.”
These are those “three effs.” Aside from a catchy and a titillating title, the text is quite dry and is just technical psychobabble mambo-jumbo.
I came across a few funny and silly Quotations, and I want to share with you.I hope their make you laugh.
Partial and edited quotation from Sotheby's:
www.sothebys.com/en/departments/objects-of-vertu.html
"Known in the antique art trade as objets de vertu (in UK and Europe), or objects of vertu in the U.S., these are small objects created from precious materials either to be admired as works of art or, more often, conceived for a practical purpose. With new worldwide interest, this area of collecting has recently seen a strong revival. In other words, expensive toys and "alternative investments" for the super rich."
Part of the Roy J. Zuckerberg Hall of American Silver at the New York Historical Society.
Tiffany & Co., New York City, 1929
Alfred E Smith the beloved four-term New York Governor and 1928 Democratic Party presidential candidate received this cigar box following his unsuccessful bid for the White House. Smith was a renowned cigar aficionado who reputedly smoked at least 12 per day. The box's elaborate Moorish-style ornament recalls motifs found in Alhambra in Granada, Spain. Etched and engraved by hand, the box used nearly 12 pounds of silver and took at least four Tiffany artisans more than 104 hours to complete.

Quote:
The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.

The quotation in black is from an author of fantastic fiction, Morgan L. Busse. The source is here. Mrs. Busse kindly gave me permission to use the quotation in this poster. The quotation in white is from the gospel song, "My Faith Has Found a Resting Place," by Eliza E. Hewitt, which is in the public domain. The flowers in the background are from my previous Flickr post. They are lilacs. I thank my wife for some constructive criticism of previous versions of this poster.
In June, 2014, Busse wrote more on the circumstances related to the statements used in the poster.
Good collection of quotation from all over the world.

Yasmine had her awakening when she saw Sam Harris’s famous appearance with Ben Affleck on Real Time With Bill Maher. It was then that she knew she had a duty to tell the world about her experiences growing up Muslim in Canada.
Sometimes in the long run, triumphal accomplishments are simply awful experiences. It seduces intelligent people into thinking they can never lose.

Meet Neil Nevins, Owner, Main Street BookEnds of Warner, NH
Do I really need words to describe the instantaneous warmth one feels when entering this phenomenal independent bookstore tucked into the quaint village of Warner, New Hampshire?
*100% Solar Powered
*A dedicated section for local authors
*An attached barn art gallery for local artists
*An extensive children's section featuring books, toys, games, puzzles and cards
*A seasonal market place
*A recently developed non-profit park with a Post-and-Beam stage for music and theater
It was almost closing time on Sunday evening when we spontaneously visited this treasured shop after picking up some groceries to take back to my mom while in New Hampshire for the weekend.
I knew the second I met Neil I'd love to get a stranger interview, and fortunately he was humbly receptive to my enthusiasm! We instantly bonded while reminiscing about a favorite herb farm here in Connecticut which will never be the same since its owner passed away in 1997.
Infamous Herbalist Adelma Simmons was a mentor to Neil's wife, many years ago. One can sense the influence Adelma must have had on Katharine Nevins, just by all the ways she and Neil have dedicated themselves to the community by honoring the arts and environment through their various projects.
This town and bookstore are treasures and definitely worth a destination visit while in New Hampshire, on the outskirts of Concord, their capitol.
I loved discovering that Neil was originally from Iowa. The fact he attended college here in Connecticut was just another serendipitous occurrence in our conversation. He and his wife have obviously settled in quite nicely in their little village. If you visit them, please say *hi* from me!
The following quotation is on their brochure. Lucky for me, as I continue enjoying the LRP group!
"When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for. And let us think, as we lay stone on stone, a time is come when these stones are held sacred, because our hands have touched them, and that they will say as they look upon the labour and wrought substance of them: Look ~ this is what our fathers did for us." ~ JOHN RUSKIN ~
