 Defiance
 

Meet Defiance, my best friend.
She turns her face to the sun...
She knocks on your door until she gets in.
Shemay lose the battle, but refuses to run.

Defiance will not listen to the siren's song.
She turns away from the madness and the lies.
Before she loves you she'll be gone.
She has no time for sad lullabies.

Defiance knows nothing of sin,
Except with her years come joy and pain.
She will not give up or give in.
She has reinvented herself to stay sane

 Contemplation and Serenity
 


Reaching out with no words of my own


My weary angel sleeps while I contemplate serenity A journey not a destination....

 Angels Gathering
 



My angels smile and guide,
my lost soul to the spring...
Ancient spirits ride
hidden in their wings.

Campfire burns gold,
as angels gather,
in it's circle...
an oasis in the cold.


Hands touch my face.
Healing warms my nights,
with God's grace,
and angel lights.

 All About Eve....1950
 



I love classic films......All About Eve was a wonderful movie, starring Bette Davis....Bette was an Aries born April 5, the same day (different years of course) as my daughter Sami....This film still holds the record for number of women nominated for academy awards....It had some of the most memorable lines of all times....It was one of the greatest ensemble films and some of the finest work of Bette Davis.

Memorable Quotes from
All About Eve

Margo Channing: Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margo Channing: Bill's thirty-two. He looks thirty-two. He looked it five years ago, he'll look it twenty years from now. I hate men.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addison DeWitt: You're maudlin and full of self-pity. You're magnificent!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margo Channing: I'll admit I may have seen better days, but I'm still not to be had for the price of a cocktail, like a salted peanut.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lloyd Richards: How about calling it a night?
Margo Channing: And you, pose as a playwright? A situation pregnant with possibilities and all you can think of is everybody go to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Sampson: We have to go to City Hall for the marriage license and blood test.
Margo Channing: I'd marry you if it turned out you had no blood at all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addison DeWitt: That I should want you at all suddenly strikes me as the height of improbability... you're an improbable person, Eve, but so am I. We have that in common. Also a contempt for humanity, an inability to love or be loved, insatiable ambition - and talent. We deserve each other.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Birdie: The bed looks like a dead animal act.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margo Channing: Lovely speech, Eve. But I wouldn't worry so much about your heart. You can always put that award where your heart ought to be.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lloyd Richards: There comes a time that a piano realizes that it has not written a concerto.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addison DeWitt: We're a breed apart. We're the original displaced persons.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addison DeWitt: You could sleep now, couldn't you? The mark of a true killer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[throwing door open]
Eve Harrington: Get out.
Addison DeWitt: You're too short for that gesture.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margo Channing: Don't get up. And please stop acting as if I were the queen mother.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margo Channing: And you, I take it, are the Paderewski who plays his concerto on me, the piano?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margo Channing: [in front of her boyfriend, Bill] I love you, Max. I really mean it. I love you. Come to the pantry.
[She leaves]
Max Fabian: [to Bill] She loves me like a father. Also, she's loaded.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Margo Channing: Lloyd, honey, be a playwright with guts. Write me one about a nice normal woman who just shoots her husband.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margo Channing: As it happens, there are particular aspects of my life to which I would like to maintain sole and exclusive rights and privileges.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margo Channing: [to Bill] You be the host. It's your party. Happy birthday, welcome home, and we who are about to die salute you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Llyod Richards: You knew when you came in that the audition was over, that Eve was your understudy, playing that childish little game of cat and mouse.
Margo Channing: Not mouse, never mouse. If anything *rat*!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Margo is getting drunk at the party]
Bill Sampson: Many of your guests have been wondering when they may be permitted to view the body. Where has it been laid out?
Margo Channing: It hasn't been laid out, we haven't finished with the embalming. As a matter of fact, you're looking at it - the remains of Margo Channing, sitting up. It is my last wish to be buried sitting up.
