English translation is as follows:

if you want to build a ship,

then drum not men together,

in order to procure wood,

gave up to assign

to distribute and the work,

to separate she teaches the longing

after the far endless sea.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Not to sure if this is right coz I just put the first line of the quote into google and got this back. Hope this alright for you Anny....

i was 7 when Diana died, i didnt know any better! i just really hate to hear about people dying in the news, or missing people. have any of you overseas heard of the daniel morcombe story? he was kidnapped over a year ago, on the sunshine coast, about an hour from where i live, and they havent found the body, or suspects yet. even though he was kidnapped on a main road! it's such a horrible thing to hear.. i was just wondering if anyone had heard about it? (sorry for the spamming)

The monarchy has no power, they are a figurehead. They bring a lot of money into the country from tourism and investments etc. We have a government and the royals have absolutely no power. They turned power over to the people, and it was a smart move because they did it to prevent a revolution, like Russia for instance.

NO POWER FOR NOONE!!

NO POWER FOR NOONE!!

EQUAL POWER TO EVERYONE... I would say. Otherwise situation would be out of control.

My favourite quote at the moment is.
[B]You know you're fucked up when love songs start to make sense.[B]

i guess she quoted "ton steine scherben" - "keine macht für niemand" and that is a cool song. it was written for the german democratic republic, but they didnt want it, after they read the lyrics

equal power to everyone? boooring!

anni:
love songs allways make sense! but sometimes i dont want to her them (except the schmaltzy songs - i never like to hear them, they make me aggressive :angry: )

[Anny]

that's the reason why there are more sad love songs... i also heared they are easyier to write

and i just wanted to add, that love songs (most of them) are based on individual feelings which not everyone understands, but that means not that they make no sense!!

i have another nice poem for you (it's in german but i will try to translate it...)

"my herart, i want to ask you
what love is
two souls and a thought
two hearts and a beat

and tell me where does love come from?
she comes and she is there
and say, how does she disappear?
she wasn't when it happens to her!

and when is love purest?
when she forgets herself
and when is love the deepest?
when she's most still

and when is love richest?
that is when she gives
and tell me how she talkes
she doesn't talk, she loves..."

- Friedrich Halm -

[Anny]

and for those who understand, the same in german

mein herz, ich will dich fragen
was ist liebe, sag!
zwei seelen und ein gedanke
zwei herzen und ein schlag

und sprich woher kommt die lieb?
sie kommt, sie ist da
und sprich, wie schwindet lieb?
die wars nicht, ders geschar!

und wann ist liebe am reinst?
die ihrer selbst vergisst
und wann ist lieb am tiefst?
wenn sie am stillsten ist

und wann ist lieb so reich?
das ist sie, wenn sie gibt
und sag, wie redet sie?
sie redet nicht, sie liebt...

- Friedrich Halm -

(it's a bit different, but that's the way i know it and the way one could sing it the way i know...)
