Your Favourite Quotes and Sayings

Sorry, Bob, bit too close to the Quotes Thread so gonna merge 'em. As with all EADD threads (aside from drug threads) wandering from the topic is perfectly acceptable so feel free to chuck in the stuff yer granny used to tell you too or whatever.

It's just cos if we have several threads with such similar themes it it gets messy cos people just post in whichever one the search button happens to give them that day which makes it less likely any version of the thread will take off, generate discussion, and generally flow.

It's always worth posting a new thread if you think it could generate discussion, debate or just gigglez. At worst, it's been done before so it gets to be merged with the old version and folk get the chance to see stuff from before their time and maybe become more familiar with the overall EADD community - all those "EADD Legends" who don't post much (or ever :() but get spoken about in hushed tones.
 
I know what you mean about dredging up ye olde, ye lengthy threads - can seem like... dunno... less than ideally comfort posting areas. However, we downright encourage it here in EADD. If it's a drug thread then it means all the info is kept together and folk can see how things developed over time - perhaps a drug seemed legendary initially but then there was a spate of suspicious deaths and all the discussion such things generate. If somebody starts a thread on the same substance and the connection with the previous discussion is lost that could make for another spate of - utterly unnecessary - deaths.

Obviously social threads are less likely to be life and death matters but, as I said, it helps to provide a certain sense of ongoing EADDom - the noob gets to go over anything and everything said previously on the subject and gets to "meet" some of those aforementioned EADD legends who many of our more newskool members have likely heard of but have no idea of what they actually did to attain EADD legend status.

Win-win :)

Another quote (roughly): "Statistics, Statistics. Damn lies and Statistics"

This I see as a very important quote that all should be taught to understand. I remember a teacher explaining when I was early to mid teens and it really did effect my thinking in a positive way in that it got me to think for myself more constructively

If it's very important you should get it right ;)

"There are lies, damn lies... and statistics."
 
Il est interdit d'interdire.
(It is forbidden to forbid.)

Imagine: c'est la guerre et personne n'y va!
(Imagine: there was a war and no one turned up!)

Soyez réaliste, demandez l'impossible.
(Be realistic, demand the impossible.)

Ne travaillez jamais.
(Never work.)

L'ennui est contre-révolutionnaire.
(Boredom is a counter-revolutionary act.)

Je suis marxiste, tendance Groucho.
(I am a marxist, Groucho tendency.)

Alcohol Kills, Take LSD instead

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro"

Sorry it is long and a poem and should probably be somewhere else but...

If...
Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Thanks for posting this, I have always enjoyed listening to it and reading it.
 
He says it a few times during the film and then right at the end of the film where it looks like Carlito is going to get away on the train with his girlfriend and then Bennie Blanco says that quote and shoots him.
Great ending to a great film.
 
"The penalties for possession of an illegal substance should never outweigh the actual harms done to the individual by substance in question"

Jimmy Carter (arguably the most forgotten of all the forgotten U.S presidents to hold office over last 50 years, with the possible exception of Gerald Ford).
 
“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.”

― Lawrence M. Krauss
