When we try to control it, it destroys us.
When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us.
When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused."
Paulo Coelho, from the book "By the river Piedra I sat down and wept.)

Love is an untamed force
"Love is an untamed force.
When we try to control it, it destroys us.
When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us.
When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused."
When we try to control it, it destroys us.
When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us.
When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused."

100 Love Sonnets by Pablo Neruda
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I do not know any other way
of loving but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

David Rees and His One-Man Artisanal Pencil Sharpening Service
This is for anyone with a love of old school woodworking — luthiers, ébénistes and the rest.
A hilarious guide to the lost art of artisanal pencil sharpening
Have you got the right kind of point on your pencil? Do you know how to achieve the perfect point for the kind of work you need out of that pencil?
Deep in New York’s Hudson River Valley, craftsman David Rees—the world’s number one #2 pencil sharpener—still practices the age-old art of manual pencil sharpening. In 2010, he began offering his artisanal service to the world, to the jubilation of artists, writers, draftsmen, and standardized test takers.
Now, in a book that is both a manifesto and a fully-illustrated walk-through of the many, many, many ways to sharpen a pencil, he reveals the secrets of his craft. How to Sharpen Pencils takes the novice pencil sharpener through a variety of sharpening techniques and includes chapters on equipment, current practice, and modern technologies. It also points at essential new trends in sharpening, including "Celebrity Impression Pencil Sharpening (CIPS)," a warning about the “Psychological Risks Associated with Pencil Sharpening”, and a survey of "Wines that tastes like pencils."
As Rees implores, "Sharpening pencils should be an activity that enriches the senses."

Norges vakreste ord
Kjærleik er herved (i 2004) kåret til Norges vakreste ord. Det utklasset konkurrentene i VGs uoffisielle kåring.
Leiar i Noregs Mållag Endre Brunstad er veldig godt fornøyd med at det ene utpregede nynorske ordet vant VGs kåring.
- Det er gledelig både for kjærleiken og nynorskens del. Det er mange ord i nynorsk som klinger veldig godt, synes Brunstad.

Meningsfylt liv
Når vi ser hvem vi er i forhold til våre forestillinger om oss selv, blir vi frie til å elske og arbeide på ekte og meningsfylt vis. Å etterprøve sin egen historie er et anstrengende arbeid, men det gjør livet meningsfylt.
Sigmund Freud

Vær tro mot deg selv
"Vær tro mot deg selv,
da følger det som natten følger dagen,
at du kan ikke være falsk mot andre."
