Exceptionally Beautiful People

Blessed are You Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who has such in His Universe. 
Jews blessing upon seeing exceptionally beautiful people, trees, or fields.


* In Hebrew: Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha'olam shekakhah lo Baolamoh.

*** I expect that putting this quot is not against the Jews beliefs. For me it is an astonished finding about their customs. With this blessing I want to recognize that person that has pushed me to learn about it. I want to give all the respect for all of them and their beliefs.

Macbeth:
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools... The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
Macbeth Act 5, scene 5



"She was the third beer. Not the first one, which the throat receives with almost tearful gratitude; nor the second, that confirms and extends the pleasure of the first. But the third, the one you drink because it’s there, because it can’t hurt, and because what difference does it make?"
Toni Morrison. Song of Solomon

"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye


"In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing."
Sandra Cisneros. The House on Mango Street

I love the answers made of silence. It means more than we think: love, fear and the deep expression of need. They are silenced expressions.
