“People can't seem to get it through their heads that there is never any healing or closure. Ever. There is only a short pause before the next "horrifying" event. People forget there is such a thing as memory, and that when a wound "heals" it leaves a permanent scar that never goes away, but merely fades a little. What really ought to be said after one of these so-called tragedies is, "Let the scarring begin".”
George Carlin.

For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness. ~Author Unknown

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always our self we find in the sea.
~e.e. cummings

I'm sure I've posted this one before but <3
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
~George Gordon, Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

"You never see a positive drug story on the news. They always have the same LSD story. You've all seen it: "Today a young man on acid … thought he could fly … jumped out of a building … what a tragedy!" What a dick. He's an idiot. If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first? Check it out? You don't see geese lined up to catch elevators to fly south; they fly from the fucking ground. He's an idiot. He's dead. Good! We lost a moron? Fucking celebrate. There's one less moron in the world.
Wouldn't you like to see a positive LSD story on the news? To base your decision on information rather than scare tactics and superstition? Perhaps? Wouldn't that be interesting? Just for once?
"Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration – that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather." bill hicks...

"There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves."
^^^ Thats what I always say when people ask me my thoughts on life. Then they all look at my crazy and say "maybe", then go on about some god bullshit.
Glad to know IM not the only one who thinks this is all a dream.
 
"Well I define fundamentalism as the attempt to impose a single 'truth' on a plural world. And what really lies behind it is fear, a profound insecurity that makes you feel when you meet someone who is not like you, or doesn't agree with you, that that challenge is a threat against your very being. Aggression is always a sign of insecurity. And insecurity is always, at bottom, a lack of faith, not a presence of faith"
—Jonathan Sacks

The Fundamentalist Christians have told me that I am a slave of Satan and should have the demons expelled with an exorcism. The Fundamentalist Materialists inform me that I am a liar, a charlatan, fraud and scoundrel. Aside from this minor difference, the letters are astoundingly similar. Both groups share in the same crusading zeal and the same total lack of humor, charity, and common human decency.
Proff Sir Anston Winston.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
--- George Bernard Shaw

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
--Shakespeare

Everybody is ignorant. Only on different subjects.
--- Will Rogers

“How inappropriate to call this planet earth when it is quite clearly Ocean.”
-- Arthur Clarke

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
-- Aldous Huxley

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former.
--- Albert Einstein

The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.
--- Arthur C. Clarke

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
--- Albert Einstein

To the extent that the law of mathematics refer to reality, they are not true; and to the extent that they are true, they do not refer to reality
--- Albert Einstein

"You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird… So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing – that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something."
-- Richard Feynman, Physicist and 1965 Nobel Prize laureate (1918-1988)

In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
-- Carl Sagan

The only stupid question is one not asked.
-- Annonymous

In this house, we OBEY the laws of thermodynamics!
-- Homer Simpson

Carlin was a lingiustical master.... All of his quotes seem to make sence and are terribly funny @ times.

Disty-- great list! This one was by far my favourite. Despite the notable handicap of being dead, I would totally have Sagan's babies.
