  2. i am going to do this list on my blog
    you know (@stace too) i have been thinking about your blog title 'people are just people' and thinking, it is so true. people are just people

    it reminds me of this quote

    “I think we’re always responsible for our actions. We’re free. I raise my hand—I’m responsible. I turn my head to the right—I’m responsible. I’m unhappy—I’m responsible. I smoke a cigarette—I’m responsible. I shut my eyes—I’m responsible. I forget that I’m responsible, but I am. I told you escape is a pipe dream. After all, everything is beautiful. You only have to take an interest in things, to see their beauty. It’s true. After all, things are just what they are. A face is a face. Plates are plates. Men are men. And life… is life.”
