"We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us [athiests] just go one god further" - Richard Dawkins
 
"We're all one thing, Lieutenant. That's what I've come to realize. Like cells in a body. 'Cept we can't see the body. The way fish can't see the ocean. And so we envy each other. Hurt each other. Hate each other. How silly is that? A heart cell hating a lung cell." -
Cassie from THE THREE
 
"A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals" Spiro T Agnew
 
I tried to read em all to see if this one is on the thread yet but there are a hella lot of them and I gave up. So here it is. "If you live your life with one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow it leaves you standing there pissing all over today." - My NA sponsor from 10 years ago.
 
This is such a great quote :)

“Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'” ~Charles M. Schulz

“So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty."
~Haniel Long
I love the meaning in this quote.
 
I like that quote stella, never heard it before; and I agree it has a great meaning within it.

“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” ~Henry David Thoreau

i was just thinking about this movie:

Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!

"We're so self-important. So arrogant. Everybody's going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save the snails. And the supreme arrogance? Save the planet! Are these people kidding? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves; we haven't learned how to care for one another. We're gonna save the fuckin' planet? . . . And, by the way, there's nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet is fine. The people are fucked! Compared with the people, the planet is doin' great. It's been here over four billion years . . . The planet isn't goin' anywhere, folks. We are! We're goin' away. Pack your shit, we're goin' away. And we won't leave much of a trace. Thank God for that. Nothing left. Maybe a little Styrofoam. The planet will be here, and we'll be gone. Another failed mutation; another closed-end biological mistake."

George Carlin
 
"i always tell the truth....even when i lie"-al pacino


Jules: [overturns the small table in the room] What country are you from?
Brett: What?
Jules: "What" ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in "What"?!
Brett: What?
Jules: English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?!
 
"Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, for y'all have knocked her up. I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe, I was not offended. For I knew I had to rise above it all. Or drown in my own shit. Come on Maggot Brain. Go on Maggot Brain" - spoken before the song 'Maggot Brain'.
 
"The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people."
Bill Hicks.
 
Because everything we say and do is the length and shadow of our own souls, our influence is determined by the quality of our being.
