"Never separate the life you live from the words you speak." -Senator Paul Wellstone
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...” - Jack Kerouac
Brilliant.

I'm not so sure if Wittgenstein was right on this count.

Not a quote per se but something I read today:
Tao-Hsin came to Seng-Ts'an and asked,
"What is the method of liberation?"
"Who binds you?" replied Seng-Ts'an.
"No one binds me."
"Why then," asked Seng-Ts'an, "should you seek liberation?"
And this was Tao-hsin's awakening.

If at first you dont succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
The probability of screwing up is proportional to the number of people watching.

There is nothing either good nor bad... but thinking makes it so.
"As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents, more and
more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and Glorious day,
the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts' desire at last, and
the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)

"There were opium dens where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new"
Oscar Wilde
The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891)
These women who had shared his life at one time or another were to go on uttering feeble squeaks of pleasure and pain and making a movement or two......enough to show that some breath of life still remained in them as they hung on a thread whose other end he still held in his hand.

"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one."

Unless a man or woman has experienced the darkness of the soul he or she can know nothing of that transforming laughter without which no hint of the ultimate reality of the opposites can be faintly intuited. - Luke
You all laugh at me because I am different, I laugh at you because you are all the same.
If men recognize no law superior to their desires, then they must fight when their desires collide.
One might say that the true subject of
the horror genre is the struggle for
recognition of all that our civilization
represses and oppresses.

It is only by closing the ears of the soul, or by
listening too intently to the clamors of the sense,
that we become oblivious of their utterances.
