flower language has always been an intense source of disappointment for me

like, they all mean really generic things like “love” or “forever” or “i’m sorry” 

i thought you could combine flowers

like you could just send someone a bouquet and from the combination of hibiscus and posies and tulips they’d understand “the rebel leader is dead, rendezvous at the docks at 8, bring the dog, you will need lighter fluid and  a large tomato”

Well, nobody’s saying we can’t *create* the flower language containing that message…

”And basically I have one message to all. Hang Tough. And I mean by saying Hanging Tough, do your best every day. Whether it’s in school or at your job or wherever you are. Do your best every day. You don’t have to know all the answers, no way, don’t expect that of yourself, just do your best. Satisfy yourself, so at the end of the day, you can look in the mirror, after you’ve brushed your teeth, and say honestly to yourself, today I did my best. And if you do that you’re being honest and everything is going to be okay.” 

-Maj. Richard D. Winters

Hmm, my time on Tumblr suddenly dissolved into looking through Nammiches’ archives for quality Lawrence of Arabia posts.  Delightful!

“For Lowell Thomas: I don’t bear him any grudge. He has invented some silly phantom thing, a sort of matinee idol in fancy dress, that does silly things and is dubbed ‘romantic.’ Boy scouts and servants love it: and it’s so far off the truth that I can go peacefully in its shadow, without being seen. Last Thursday I went to an art gallery where was a ripping portrait of me by [Augustus] John: another man was looking at it: and as I passed he whispered confidentially, ‘Bloody looking feller, isn’t he?’ I said yes.”
