More From Agnes Repplier

Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.
Summer Autumn Winter
Row, row, row your boat. gently down the stream. merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
Inspiring Dream Good Life
Every word i say has chains round its ankles; every thought i think is weighted with heavy weights. since i was born, hasn't every word i've said, every thought i've thought, everything i've done, been tied up, weighted, chained? and mind you, i know that with all this i don't succeed. or i succeed in flashes only too damned well. ...but think how hard i try and how seldom i dare. think - and have a bit of pity. that is, if you ever think, you apes, which i doubt.
Thinking Mind Doubt
Merrily, merrily goes the bark on a breeze from the northward free, so shoots through the morning sky the lark, or the swan through the summer sea.
Summer Morning Swans
Merrily, merrily shall i live now, under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
Memorable Merriment
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

In the summer of 2002, we had spent six weeks shooting the three pilots of mythbusters, and jamie[hyneman] called me up afterward - well, first he called me up to tell me to clear my crap back out of his shop - and he said, "well, that was kind of fun, wasn't it? i mean, i don't see where this could go, because we pretty much did everything. but it was fun."
Summer Fun Mean
When the blackberries hang swollen in the woods, in the brambles nobody owns, i spend all day among the high branches, reaching my ripped arms, thinking of nothing, cramming the black honey of summer into my mouth; all day my body accepts what it is. in the dark creeks that run by there is this thick paw of my life darting among the black bells, the leaves; there is this happy tongue.
Summer Running Dark
Whenever i see 'dirty rotten scoundrels', a total comedy classic, i get the urge to feel the breeze of the south of france in the summer!
Summer Dirty Rotten
I get all my ideas in switzerland near the forka pass. there is a little town called gletch, and two thousand feet up above gletch there is a smaller hamlet called Über gletch. i go there on the fourth of august every summer to get my cuckoo clock fixed. while the cuckoo is in the hospital, i wander around and talk to the people in the streets. they are very strange people, and i get my ideas from them.
