A Quote Thread....

Reproduced from a record sleeve:

"Yesterday it was love. Today the great passions
of unity and liberty disrupt the world. Yesterday
love led to individual death. Today collective
passions make us run the risk of universal
destruction. Today, just as yesterday, art wants
to save from death a living image of our passions
and our suffering."

-- Albert Camus
 
"I don't do drugs. I am drugs"
-Salvador Dali

"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve."
-Max Planck
 
conform against conformity.

we need to pull people one by one out of the "matrix" created by our government, and into the real world. those of us who have obtained the knowledge of what it is that government is actually doing TO us, not FOR us must spread the knowledge. for great vids about our government (United States) and videos about very interesting topics, go to http://conspiracy.hopto.org:6969/. I highly suggest that everyone watches the BBC documentary, The Power Of Nightmares. great facts and the truth to our "great" nation. Also view the biography of the most hated man in my life, Dick Chaney. Very interesting facts about the man who is taking over the world. get out there and change the world. make it your obligation to "preach" the truth. don't let people continue to fall victims to the bull shit this government puts out there. they control us, as free as they say we are, they make us do what they want. we are brainwashed to be used for profit. we are told to buy this and that, do that this way because it is right. well who the hell is going to tell me how to live the one and only life i have. don't waste your life under the materialistic spell being cast upon the great masses of this nation. reach out and change the world. CONFORM AGAINST CONFORMITY!

I have been alive. I have been dead."--Taliesin (sp?)

If anyone asked him what the name of his LSD was he would usually tell them "Sunshine."

"The need to speak, even if one has nothing to say, becomes more pressing when one has nothing to say, just as the will to live becomes more urgent when life has lost its meaning,"

-- Jean Baudrillard
 
"When music affects us to tears, seemingly causeless, we weep not, as Gravina supposes, from "excess of pleasure", but through excess of an impatient, petulant sorrow, that, as mere mortals, we are as yet in no condition to banquet upon those supernal ecstasies of which the music affords us merely a suggestive and indefinite glimpse"

and

"The struggle to apprehend the supernal Loveliness... has given to the world all that which it has ever been enabled at once to understand and feel as poetic."

-both by Edgar Allan Poe.
 
"There's a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." JULES
 
I read this tonight and it struck a good chord with me. I hope it does not offend any of the non-religious people, but I don't think it will because it's just a short quote, not some sermon of mine or anything.

DISCLAIMER: These words were not originally written by me and may or may not reflect any of my views on the subject unless they are in all caps.

from "And the Angels Were Silent" by Max Lucado, page 101:

"When we create a redeemer, we keep him safely distant in his faraway castle. We allow him only the briefest of encounters with us. We permit him to swoop in and out with his sleigh before we can draw too near. We wouldn't ask him to take up residence in the midst of a contaminated people. In our wildest imaginings we wouldn't compare a king who becomes one of us.

"But God did. God did what we wouldn't dream. He did what we couldn't imagine. He became a man so we could trust him. He became a sacrifice so we could know him. And he defeated death so we could follow him.

"IT DEFIES LOGIC. IT IS DIVINE INSANITY. [emphases added] A holy incredibility. Only a God beyond systems and common sense could create a plan as absurd as this. YET, IT IS THE VERY IMPOSSIBILITY OF IT ALL THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE. [emphasis added again] The wildness of the story is its strongest witness."

* * *

Those are a few characteristics of God that I just love. Namely, he can make anything possible, he's always coming out with new stuff and I can never predict what he's going to think of or do next. Plus, I love colored lights and bright white light which I associate with God and which not even Einstein or anybody else has yet to figure out.
 
The truest quote I have lived thus far..........

"Childhood is what we spend the rest of our lives trying to overcome." - From amovie- can't remember and I think that is only the second part of it - SO fucking true for me.

And I altered a popular one:

"What doesn't kill us, fucks us up" -with apologies to original author

And one I use often:

"This too, shall pass" - don't know who wrote it - not me
 
"Is everyone else in the world a moron, or is it just me?"

i'm waiting for the right girl..... the kind that will have sex with me

"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."

If you ever get mugged by someone, just say, "Take it easy man, all I got is a $16 bill", then knee him in the nuts when he tries to figure out what the fuck you just said.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I hate it when a coworker spots you blowing the contents of your
nostrils into a trash can

People worry because of love and desire. That worry then leads to fear. If you transcend love, what worries will there be? What will be left to fear?

Sleep will not come to this tired body now. Peace will not come to this lonely heart. There are some things I'll live without, but I want you to know that I need you right now.

I have lost the will to live. Simply nothing more for me to give. There is nothing more for me. I need the end to set me free.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, The dreams in which i'm dying are the best i've ever had.

Why am I so alone? Where is my woman? Can I bring her home?

Take your time, think a lot, think of everything you've got, for you will still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not.

Someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay.

"If you don't shut your face, i will rip it off and use it as a napkin."

Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine, into your brain, and that's where you get shitty ideas from.

We cannot know our true self through rational thinking, as rational thinking was produced by the very mind one is trying to see

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world."

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

"Two roads diverged in a Wood, and I...
I took the one less travelled by.
And that has made all the Difference."
--Robert Frost

And finally there are some awesome IRC quotes on this page that I wish to link too. www.bash.org

It's not a quest on finding who we ought to be, it's a quest to find what we once were when we were a child.
 
"life... woah life, woah life, woah life, do do do do"
whoever wrote the lyrics to this song (although i'd hope no one would claim it) is pure genious.

"when you're afraid of the toilet, you garenteed to shit your pants." - me :D
