How weird is Brexit looking?

“To be alone in 1940 among the enemy was heroic, to be alone in 2017 among friends is absurd.” Italian commentator

A meaningless, hyper-trite play on words. And anyone who considers the EU and its rat-bag membership as our 'friends' is plumbing the depths of absurdity. Even more, coming from the failing state of Italy.

In politics and in international relations, there are no 'friends': merely acquaintances who, transiently, work together. Far better out of such a flawed union of 27 states, and into the real world of 100+

@GailCob Yes funny as Italy is a hot mess! It's like quoting a philander on fidelity

Who better to quote on fidelity!
Giacomo Casanova:
"It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless."

It is a tattoo. I just read it off my arm. I got Giacomo Casanova:"Marriage is the tomb of love" on my other arm.

and I have Giacomo Casanova: "As to the deceit perpetrated upon women, let it pass, for, when love is in the way, men and women as a general rule dupe each other." On my chest!

ps just joshing ya!
I got them off quotes online:
"Real love is the love that sometimes arises after sensual pleasure: if it does, it is immortal; the other kind inevitably goes stale, for it lies in mere fantasy."

hi Literaturegirl
well quoting Casanova is not going to have any really good outcome is it? I mean it is a joke! Laughter is permitted!

@sogdianrock It was like some horrible unmasking! If I'd been drunk I'd have sobered up mighty fast!

Captain Haddock: I thought you were an optimist.
Tintin: You were wrong, weren't you? I'm a realist.
Captain Haddock: Ah, it's just another name for a quitter.
Tintin: You can call me what you like. Don't you get it? We failed.
Captain Haddock: Failed. There are plenty of others willing to call you a failure. A fool. A loser. A hopeless souse. Don't you ever say it of yourself. You send out the wrong signal, that is what people pick up. Don't you understand? You care about something, you fight for it. You hit a wall, you push through it. There's something you need to know about failure, Tintin. You can never let it defeat you.
Best wishes
