Which means “To the stars through difficulty” in Latin. I know Latin is a long gone language, but I have a soft spot for it, I think it’s cute and authentic and sort of different. Like going back through time and being in a completely different time and place. Quotes like Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero – Seize the day, trust as little as possible in tomorrow and Quid pro quo – Something for something. i.e. A favor for a favor are still used to this day in certain situations. The beauty of being in touch with the past is amazing and intriguing. I have never been strong in the linguistics department, even my French is average even though my mother tried to get me to learn the language for years, I can follow a basic conversation and barely keep up with a movie but for the life of me can’t make full comprehensible sentences. Yet, Latin is different it’s magical and mystical to me. My friends ask me what’s with the Latin quotes in my email signature and in my MSN status and I always say that it gives me a feeling of touching the past and dreaming of the future, yes my mind is twisted in so many ways you could never begin to imagine.
