Favorite Quotes... Oscar Wilde said this...







I absolutely love this quote!


Oscar Wilde was a very famous
Irish author... poet and playwrite
who died way too early at the age of 46
on November 30, 1900.
And even though this quote is some
126 years old...
it still reins true to this day!


None of us are ordinary!!


Oscar Wilde is buried in the famous cemetery...
Pere Lachaise in Paris France.
Another notable rock 'n roll hero
of mine is also there with Oscar...


Out of all the many incredible quotes
that came from Oscar's mind...
this one is by far my favorite.

who treats you

Favorite Quotes... Alan Turing said this...




tommyrawblog@gmail.com



I absolutely love this quote
you're about to read
at the end of this post!!!


Strive...
to be THAT fucking person
he is talking about!!



What??
Who is Alan Turing you ask??
Alan Turing


Well,
Alan Turing
is pretty much the reason why
we have computers & smartphones today!!


In the very beginning,
the very early days of the computer age,
these new computing machines
were actually called "Turing Machines"
and not computers.


He was indeed one of the world's
most brilliant mathematicians!


Have you ever seen the movie
"The Imitation Game"??
The Imitation Game... starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley


It's about how Alan Turing and a group of
other brilliant minds figured out
how to break and decrypt the Nazi German codes
that were created by the Devil itself...
the Enigma machine.
The Enigma machine used by the Nazi Germans during WWII


Alan built a machine while serving at
Bletchley Park in Britain
that was able to decode every message
that devilish German box spit out
during World War II.
He named it Christopher
after a childhood friend of his.
It was also referred to as
The Turing Bombe
The original Turing machine (Bombe)
The original Turing machine (Bombe)
The Turing machine that was recreated for the movie... The Imitation Game


Experts came to the conclusion
that with the development of Alan's machine,
and the ability to break the Enigma encryption
that it shortened the war by about two years.
Imagine... all the lives that that big brain AND...
that big machine saved!


And that machine
was pretty much
the very first computer.


So awesome right!!



Alan Turing said this...

"Sometimes...
it's the people no one imagines
anything of...
who do the things
that no one can imagine!"



How powerful is that!!

In other words...
who gives a fuck
what others think of you.
Only YOU know
what you're capable of!!!

So just as this post began...
it ends with the very same words...

Strive...
to be THAT fucking person!!

Favorite Quotes... Ralph Waldo Emerson said this...









This one...
well this one has come AND gone
many many many times
along my lifeline!!

And I'm betting it has
with most of you
out there.

At times
it is certainly easier said than done!
Especially when there is a difficult
choice before you to be made.

Many times I've taken that unpaved
risky unknown pathway...
but there were times that I
completely chickened out
and for one reason or another...
took that smooth
well preserved
safe path!

And that's what life is all about... isn't it!

Making decisions
then taking action
and most importantly
making adjustments
along the way
both major ones AND minor
to keep you on course
barreling towards your final goal... which is...
SUCCESS!

Fuck yeah!!

This is such a simple
yet amazing thought and quote!
It is a constant companion by my side
whenever I have to make a choice
be it a life-altering one or not.

Not going along with the crowd
being an individual
taking chances
some well thought out
some not
are what make you
who you are!

So cool isn't it!





writer, philosopher and poet
said this...


"Do not go where the path may lead
go instead
where there is no path
and leave a trail"




Ralph Waldo Emerson... A postage stamp was issued in his honor in 1940. How awesome is that!

Favorite Quotes... Edgar Allan Poe said this...




 tommyrawblog@gmail.com




This one... wow!


I just read this yesterday
March 12, 2023
even tho Poe's entire existence
began AND ended
within the 1800's!!


So okay...
I'm a slow reader!


You do realize that...
insanity can be triggered by SO many
factor's...
from the serious & intense
to the outright silly & ridiculous.


But when it comes to
matters of the heart...
insanity is sometimes the
path of least resistance
back...
to sanity!


How could you NOT love
that observation!


Because you KNOW...
that she was worth
every
insane second!!



Edgar Allan Poe said this...


"I was never really insane

except upon occasions

when my heart

was touched"
