If you post quotes in this thread, definately give the name of the person being quoted (unless you don't know, of course).

"The maximum of aliveness is a willingness to act." - William James

"I know that I exist; the question is, What is this 'I' that I know?" - Rene Descartes

"Science witout religion is lame; religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstein

"I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire

"There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance." - Socrates

"Absolute truth is indestructible. Being indestructible, it is eternal. Being eternal, it is self existent. Being self existent, it is infinite. Being infinite, it is vast and deep. Being vast and deep, it is transcendental and intelligent." - Kongfuzi (Confucius)


That's enough for now.

Can you tell I've been studying for philosophy? :lol:

My favourite quote of all time:

"Girl who sits on judges lap get honourable discharge."


(I turned Crank Yankers, I think, and this is the first thing I heard. I have never forgotten it. :lol:
"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

Too bad Descartes was a panzy! lol
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity
!-¤M.a.r.i.s.s.a¤-!
Guy: Her locker's down the hall, I've counted 17 from mine.
Girl: Does he see me? Does he even know that I'm close by?
Guy: We're in the hallway, always at half past nine.
Girl: Would he ever get to know me? Would he take the time?

Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes.

Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.

The truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.

Just because someone's a member of an ethnic minority doesn't mean they're not a nasty small-minded little jerk.

--Terry Pratchett

You can't second-guess ineffability, I always say.

He was not, however, satisfied simply with being vouchsafed the difference between right and wrong. He felt it his bounden duty to tell the world.

--Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise it's just a cage.
--Terry Pratchett


When it's cold I'd like to die

Give me a place to stand, and I will move the world - Archimedes.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Not really a quote, necessarily

I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human. ~Tool - Lateralus (Maynard James Keenan)

"I don't know about you but I could use me some cheap drugs and a couple of dirty hookers right about now. Know what I mean? Why don't you do some thing productive and kill yourself because standing here next to you is beginning to make me look like an idiot. And trust me, I'm capable of looking like an idiot without your assistance. You know it's not that I hate just you and you alone. I happen to hate most people, to be honest. You're just the closest one to me right now is all"

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
