Quote of the Day--Betrayal

"One should rather die than be betrayed. There is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. Betrayal, though...betrayal is the willful slaughter of hope."
-Steven Deitz

"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."
-Anais Nin

"We have to distrust eachother. It's our only defense against betrayal."
-Tennessee Williams

"Betrayal is the only truth that sticks."
-Arthur Miller

I sat on it and gave it a wiggle, not even a budge. Once I had paid for the bench, I spotted these two glass jars:

What a sale!

After unsuccessfully attempting to cram the bench into my Saturn (& deciding to come back with a pickup truck) I saw this lovely little chair across the street:

Just what I wanted to fill an empty corner (& to add seating in my new-old, narrow living room).
