Line(s) of the Day #SixFeetUnder

I think a soulmate is a person who makes you be the most you you can possibly be. Maybe your soulmate is the person who forces your soul to grow the most. Not all growth feels good.

Rabbi Ari (Molly Parker) in the highly acclaimed drama Six Feet Under (2001 – 2005). The HBO show told the story of the troubled Fisher family and their interactions with bereaving families through their funeral home.

Gr8at: Milton Jones’ Jokes

As everyone here knows I’m a big fan of a sharp and well executed one-liner. So about time I put up some from one of the best in the business, Milton Jones.  The Englishman’s deadpan and amusingly neurotic style has won him countless fans and regular success on the comedy circuit. If you find the wonderfully wacky dresser funny, you should definitely check out another fine exponent of the art, Bob Monkhouse

Dream as if you will live forever; Live as if you will die today.

Described as America’s first teenager, James Dean (1931 – 1955) only made three films but his unique talent and intensity left an indelible mark on Hollywood and audiences.

Gr8at: Steven Wright

Ever since I saw Steven Wright on The Larry Sanders Show, I’ve been a huge fan of his. I’ve even quoted him twice before, with his thoughts on a cafe breakfast and the Indy 500. But that wasn’t enough. So here are eight of his finest quotes. Do you have a favourite?

Line(s) of the Day #Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

The opening lines of the poem ‘Remember’ by Christina Rosetti (1830 – 1894)

Line(s) of the Day #Outnumbered

Brethrens, we are gathered here in the bosom of Jesus to say goodbye to this, to this mouse, killed before its time. We have given it cheese and bread for its journey to heaven, or at least if it goes to hell, it’ll have cheese on toast. Next up is the Pope. Dust to dust, for richer or for poorer, in sickness or in health, may the force be with you, because you’re worth it, amen and out.

Karen (Ramona Marquez) from the British comedy ‘Outnumbered’ (2007 – 2014).

Line(s) of the Day #RobertFalconScott

Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale.

The explorer Robert Falcon Scott (on the fatal expedition to the South Pole (1869-1912). The picture shows the crew Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates and Edgar Evans, who all failed to return.

Line(s) of the Day

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England.
