"Americans are more uptight, they have to go hide their dick to pee"-Kat Bjelland

&

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing"-Helen Keller.

wrong post.

I like Thucydides:

“Men naturally despise those who court them, but respect those who do not give way to them.” - yeh, what's with that?

“The superior gratification derived from the use and contemplation of costly and supposedly beautiful products is, commonly, in great measure a gratification of our sense of costliness masquerading under the name of beauty.” - still applies 2000 years later

“Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage.”

“The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.” - those last 2 tie together beautifully. that's the sort of code you should live your life by,, aah, i wish i lived in times long ago i seriously wonder if freedom is just a state of mind, as we're always enslaved to something. whether it be our bodies, this planet, the universe..

"If you're ever in doubt, throw a pepper in the air. If it fails to come down, you have gone mad, so don't trust in anything."
-Gregory Maguire

"You know I always thought unicorns were fabulous creatures too, although I never saw one alive before." "Well, now that we have met," said the unicorn, "If you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you."
-Through The Looking Glass

"Theres nothing terribly wrong with feeling lost, so long as that feeling precedes some plan on your part to actually do something about it. Too often a person grows complacent with their disillusionment, perpetually wearing their "discomfort" like a favorite shirt."
-Jhonen Vasquez

I'm a huge fan of quotes, I could go on for hours. But I'll settle for subscribing to this thread for now.

"Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape."
-William S. Burroughs

"Anger is dead as soon as fed;tis starving makes it fat"
-Emily Dickinson

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed."
- Albert Einstein, The World as I See It, 1934

i like it

i love quotes.
heres one, its quite cliched but whatever

'life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards'- Kierkegaard.

'no emotion is the final one'

from Oranges aren't the only fruit by Jeanette Winterson

and I like what Kerouac said

'All things are like visions beyond the reach of the human mind'

Cheetah Crome in his leopard spandex pants just threw an electric fan at two cops:

Cop: "...AND PUT SOME PANTS ON!"
C.C: "I GOT PANTS ON!"
Cop: "..YOU GOT PANTS?"
C.C: "YEAH, I'M WEARING 'EM. I GOT PANTS ON!"

"they are deceived who flatter themselves that the ignorant and debased slave has no conception of the magnitude of his wrongs. they are deceived who imagine that he arises from his knees with back lacerated and bleeding, cherishing only a spirit of meekness and forgiveness. a day may come - it will, if his prayer is heard. a terrible day of vengeance, when the master in his turn will cry in vain for mercy." - solomon northup

If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a visciously overcrowded version of Phoenix— a clean well lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except those who know in their hearts what is missing... And being driven slowly and quietly into the kind of terminal craziness that comes with finally understanding that the one thing you want is not there. - Hunter S Thompson

I have tried so hard to do right. - Grover Cleveland

I'm not a paranoid deranged millionaire. Goddamnit, I'm a billionaire! - Howard Hughes

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson

"I must create my own system or be enslaved by another man's." - William Blake

"Equality - it is new strung and shall be heard." - Motto of the Society of the United Irishman, 1791.

"We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking to the stars." - Oscar Wilde

"The first stage is like ordinary drinking, the second when you begin to see monstrous and cruel things, but if you can persevere you will enter in upon the third stage where you see things that you want to see, wonderful curious things. One night I was left sitting, drinking alone and very late in the Café Royal, and I had just got into this third stage when a waiter came in with a green apron and began to pile the chairs on the tables.
‘Time to go, Sir’ he called out to me. Then he brought in a watering can and began to water the floor.’Time’s up Sir. I’m afraid you must go now, Sir.’
‘Waiter, are you watering the flowers?’ I asked, but he didn’t answer.
‘What are your favourite flowers, waiter?’ I asked again.
‘Now sir, I must really ask you to go now, time’s up,’ he said firmly. ‘I’m sure that tulips are your favourite flowers,’ I said, and as I got up and passed out into the street I felt - the – heavy – tulip – heads – brushing against my shins.” - Oscar Wilde

I Love Love Love this, almost anything Oscar Wilde says is just genious..

I really like this one.
I am a huge quotes fan, so here are some :

Donnie: [to his mother] What's it like to have a wacko for a son?
Rosie Darko: It feels wonderful.

Donnie Darko

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans

John Lennon

To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.

Elbert Hubbard

"My life is not an apology but a life."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

So dark the con of man

"Everything I want to do is either illegal, immoral, or fattening" - think it was Mae West

Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
Cheshire Cat: Oh, you can't help that. Most everyone's mad here.

Alice: I was just wondering if you could help me find my way.
Cheshire Cat: Well, that depends on where you want to get to.
Alice: Oh, it really doesn't matter, as long as...
Cheshire Cat: Then it really doesn't matter which way you go.

- both from Alice in Wonderland, obviously
