Famous quotes with Li

  • I remember li'l ol' Hank Jr. - he was just a baby back in them days, you know - but he used to hang around. His mama would bring him around. He was just a natural.
    Mel Tillis
  • Uno degli scrittori genio del 20 ° secolo, Hermann Hesse, premio Nobel e il mio autore preferito, ha scritto: "la maggior parte delle persone ... sono come una foglia che cade, che va alla deriva e si trasforma in aria, svolazza, e cade a terra ma. alcuni altri sono stelle come che percorrono un percorso definito: assenza di vento li raggiunge, hanno in se stessi la loro guida e il percorso ". Mi piace questa citazione, perché è così illuminante e potente. è anche un richiamo costante che tu sei la stella, e si deve mantenere il tuo personaggio - non importa ciò che gli altri dicono o fanno. inoltre non dimenticare che la stella ha ancora la capacità di trasformarsi in supernova, che illumina l'universo con una luce così potente che può venire solo da milioni di soli. Sempre cercare di essere quello splendente stella, e in ultima analisi supernova, per illuminare il mondo.
    Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
  • My writing is like a ten gallon spring. It can issue from the ground anywhere at all. On smooth ground it rushes swiftly on and covers a thouasand li in a single day without difficulty. When it twists and turns among mountains and rocks, it fits its form to things it meets: unknowable. What can be known is, it always goes where it must go, always stops where it cannot help stopping -- nothing else. More than that, even I cannot know.
    Su Shih
  • "Tribe purist to the fullest If'n you ain't feelin' this track, then you're full of it Pull that li'l shit if you wanna, ya dig But you ain't gonna do me like you did those Kidz, and clown me Homage, comma, props Call it what you want, but I'm not gonna stop Record hit the store and I'm not gonna flop And if I do, well then it's fodder for the message boards tomorrow"
    Danny!
