3) Long leather gloves, that when I put on, make me feel like Grace Kelly.

4) When you meet a new person and it feels like you have known them a lifetime. And all of a sudden you feel entirely comfortable in this stranger's company -its exhilarating.

5) 'So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: 

who is the happier man, 

he who braved the storm of life and lived, 

or he who has stayed securely on the shore and merely existed?"

- Hunter S Thompson.

6)Pinot Noir

Week Five: A little Late

1. You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book...or you take a trip...and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.

-Anais Nin.
