"Revenge is never a straight line. Its a forrest and like a forrest, its easy to lose your way...to get lost...to forget where you came in."

-Kill Bill 2-
 
Hi guys, well I did a search for this topic and I did find something similar but not exactly what I have planned for this thread.Mods if by chance I did not search properly you can close this.

So I want to know you favourite saying, or quote.

I have a book full of them and I was flipping through it and it has inspired me to start a thread.

Here's one to begin.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. Albert Einstein
 
Yep, there is one already =D It's even titled favourite quotes! I'll merge now.
 
"I think you are taught the most at the worst possible age. High school is when you study History, biology ect. and you just dont give a rats arse. I would love to sit and learn things now. But thats the maturity that comes with being older, and thats when you have the self reflection to say 'What do i want to know about myself? what do i want to learn?'.
"My mind is a sponge"
-Rove Mcmanus
 
"There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot"

"everywhere is walking distance if you have the time"

"If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer?"

Steven Wright
 
"If it wasn't hard to acheive, you did it the wrong way."

This is a little Protestant work ethic my annoyingly Liberal parents tried to instill in me. While it doesn't reflect what I do, it is something that I wish i could emulate.




:D

I've always loved that one.


Its from Murphys Law Of Combat. Though I doubt Murphy wrote it.
 
A couple of quick ones...Auden first (taken from The Quest)'cos some of his imagery is just so lush...

"By standing stones the blind can feel their way,
Wild dogs compel the cowardly to fight,
Beggars assist the slow to travel light,
And even madmen manage to convey
Unwelcome truths in lonely gibberish."

...and of course a few snippets from our mate Billy Blake who should be canonised as the patron saint of psychonauts...

"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man is it is, infinite.
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern"

"The nakedness of woman is the work of God."

"The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom."

"The soul of sweet delight can never be defil'd."

"You never know what is enough unless you know more than enough."

"To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour"
 
Maynard James Keenan, TOOL:

We'll ride the spiral to the end
and may just go where no one's been . . .


makes me cry . . .
 
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
"And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
"Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling."
 
"If the Doors or John Lennon were getting started now
The industry wouldn't sign 'em in a million years"

- Triumph of the Swill, Dead Kennedys
 

"What you are looking for you already are"

"I am that I am"

&
from Duckboy,something like;
"Bluelight; all your favourite web sites rolled into 1"

Any Given Sunday

well its not really a quote, but a speach, but I <3 it

I don't know what to say really.
Three minutes
to the biggest battle of our professional lives
all comes down to today.
Either
we heal
as a team
or we are going to crumble.
Inch by inch
play by play
till we're finished.
We are in hell right now, gentlemen
believe me
and
we can stay here
and get the shit kicked out of us
or
we can fight our way
back into the light.
We can climb out of hell.
One inch, at a time.

Now I can't do it for you.
I'm too old.
I look around and I see these young faces
and I think
I mean
I made every wrong choice a middle age man could make.
I uh....
I pissed away all my money
believe it or not.
I chased off
anyone who has ever loved me.
And lately,
I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life
things get taken from you.
That's, that's part of life.
But,
you only learn that when you start losing stuff.
You find out that life is just a game of inches.
So is football.
Because in either game
life or football
the margin for error is so small.
I mean
one half step too late or to early
you don't quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don't quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in ever break of the game
every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause we know
when we add up all those inches
that's going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

I'll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.
And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.

Now I can't make you do it.
You gotta look at the guy next to you.
Look into his eyes.
Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.
You are going to see a guy
who will sacrifice himself for this team
because he knows when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen
and either we heal now, as a team,
or we will die as individuals.
That's football guys.
That's all it is.
Now, whattaya gonna do?
