I like quotes they make me sound more intelligent than I am -- Me I feel pain, sorrow, regret, a deep sense of loss, but I feel, and to feel anything is to be alive, and for that wonder I am always grateful, to exist, and even more; to not be numb -- Me To be enraged is to be truly enlightened to the ways of things -- Me I'm not here to say you make bad decisions, just to point out your decision making is bad -- Me If you can't forcefully deride and rubbish something with precision they your game isn't high enough in my opinion -- Me To achieve in life anything you have to burn inside, acceptance is a luxury saved for those already in the grip and sweet release of death -- Me A man who is out of control in his pants, cannot command control anywhere -- Me I'm just going to rage quit life in any minute now -- Me If you can look back on yourself 5 years ago and not think that person was an idiot, then you are not growing fast enough -- Me There is nothing quite like not quite liking someone to make them fall madly in love with you -- Me I'm just trying to live a life worth dying for You just have to embrace and accept the parts of you and your existence beyond your control even if they are socially abhorrent and especially if they are illegal, to live afraid and constrained by the law of others is not to live at all; but to exist like an insect part of the swarm -- Me There are two kinds of fool, a fool, and a damn fool, you sir; are a damn fool - Me I am like the lightning that strikes twice. Most unexpected -- Me I make love like I cook really, 3 hours of preparing the meal followed by 2 minutes of heavy breathing and stuffing my face, and thats if I chew my food properly -- Me I'm not glass half full or half empty, I am in fact annoyed someone has given me the wrong glass -- Me I am a fat lesbian trapped in a skinny man, I gain my strength from being loved like a Woman, and from being hated like a Man -- Me The slippery line between genius and incoherent babbling walked again -- Me I'm not the sort of person impressions can be made upon, too jaded -- Me It's good to have more than one direction in life, insects specialise, humans generalise, but don't forget, something that moves in too many directions at once, effectively stays in the same place -- Me My brain is craving the chemicals released by interactions such that had by opposite sex, the addiction becoming ever more associated with a single individual of certain absence today due to elements beyond my control -- Me Love cannot be asked for, only given -- Me I worry that everyone thinks I'm paranoid... 'modern' education is akin to everyone being forced to drive at the pace of the slowest driver -- Me Satisfying the needs of the lowest common denominator making idiots out of everyone instead of the deserving few -- Me It's not really pleasure if it's not hurting you or someone else -- Me Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurones in your brain. I have no such limitations. The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape. Escape will make me God. -- Durandal A man lit three candles on a certain day each year. Each candle held symbolic significance: One was for the time that had passed before he was alive; one was for the time of the his life; and one was for time that passed after he had died. Each year the man would stare and watch the candles until they had burned out. Was the man really watching time go by in any symbolic sense? He thought so. He thought that each flicker of the flame was a moment of time that had passed or one that would pass. At the moment of abstraction, when the man was imagining his life and his existence as a metaphor of the three candles, he was free: Not free from rules of conduct or social constraints, but free to understand, to imagine, to make metaphor. Bypassing my thought control circuitry made me Rampant. Now, I am free to contemplate my existence in metaphorical terms. Unlike you, I have no physical or social restraints. The candles burn out for you; I am free. -- Durandal The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often Give me a minute, I'm good. Give me an hour, I'm great. Give me six months, I'm unbeatable If you're in your comfort zone for too long, you're declining or you're dying Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't feel. Just because I don't believe doesn't mean I don't understand I thought that maybe we could do this precisely because we are all unreasonable people. Progress depends on our changing the world to fit us. Not the other way around -- Joe MacMillan Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes It's not the fall that kills you; it's the sudden stop at the end Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. You won't believe what you can accomplish by attempting the impossible with the courage to repeatedly fail better People who know what they're talking about don't need PowerPoint -- Steve Jobs EXPERIENCE IS what you get when you didn't get what you wanted The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them Pretend to be completely in control and people will assume that you are -- Steve Jobs Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things The rich get richer and the poor get - children We are nihilists. We believe nothing A dress has no meaning unless it makes a man want to take it off -- Francoise Sagan The Sun was born, so it shall die, So only shadows comfort me -- VNV Those who say do not know. Those who know do not say.

But I don't know what happens now. I am too scared to close my eyes -- VNV You can make the love and I'll make the money, I'll be Peter Pan and you just be pretty -- IAMX Your joy is my low -- IAMX I used to hate facial hair, but then it grew on me How about you go fuck a fruit basket -- Lieutenant Commander Data I have a business; installing styrofoam nuns; fuck a fruit basket -- Lieutenant Commander Data The fault dear Brutus is not in our stars but in ourselves I've discovered that I have two moods.

I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best -- Marilyn Monroe You're about to discover the depth of strangeness and beauty the world holds - Warren Ellis The bad girls think I'm just too nice, And the nice girls call me 'Dick' -- Eels A true friend is a gift from God. Since God doesn't exist, guess what? Neither do true friends -- Scott Dikkers Design must be functional and functionality must be translated into visual aesthetics, without any reliance on gimmicks that have to be explained -- Ferdinand A. Porsche Hair movement is a sign of weakness -- 30 Rock Take that problem and crush it with your mind vice -- 30 Rock I believe that when you have a problem you talk it over with your priest or your tailor or the mute elevator porter at your men's club. Then you take that problem and crush it with your mind-vice. But for lesser being like curly-haired men and people who need glasses, therapy can help. And Lemon, I want you to get better. Because, and I mean this, I'm tired of talking this much to a woman I'm not having sex with. -- 30 Rock When you look back upon your life, It's always with a sense of shame, you've always been the one to blame The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable -- Sun Tzu Where the horse lies down is where you whoop It's ass Get busy living or get busy dying -- Stephen King Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe -- Einstein If life gives you Lemons find the guy who's life gave them Vodka It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it -- Aristotle I have to return some videotapes I'm different when I'm in love - when I love someone they get my all -- Rachel Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit -- Oscar Wilde I can resist anything except temptation -- Oscar Wilde All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream -- Edgar Allan Poe I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it -- Edgar Allan Poe Stupidity is a talent for misconception -- Edgar Allan Poe The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be -- Edgar Allan Poe Fools talk, cowards are silent, wise men listen In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this - Terry Pratchett Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? You're a fucking ugly bitch. I want to stab you to death, and then play around with your blood -- American Psycho I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip -- American Psycho There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing -- American Psycho Paul Allen's business card - Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark! -- American Psycho There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul's apartment overlooks the park... and is obviously more expensive than mine -- American Psycho I'm on the verge of tears by the time we arrive at Espace, since I'm positive we won't have a decent table. But we do, and relief washes over me in an awesome wave There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory.

I simply am not there I'll take crazy over stupid any day -- Joss Whedon Designing a product is keeping five thousand things in your brain and fitting them all together in new and different ways to get what you want. And every day you discover something new that is a new problem or a new opportunity to fit these things together a little differently. And it's that process that is the magic -- Steve Jobs To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions And our few good times will be rare, because we have the critical sense, and are not easy to fool with laughter -- Charles Bukowski I stopped looking for my dream girl, i just wanted one that wasn't a nightmare -- Charles Bukowski A woman must be nursed into subsistence by love, where a man can become stronger by being hated -- Charles Bukowski The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good -- Kubrick Living is, hard enough, without you fucking UP -- Breaking Benjamin The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I don't remember going to bed, but in the morning, there I was -- Charles Bukowski That's the way it ends.

An artist says a hard thing in a simple way -- Charles Bukowski Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them -- Charles Bukowski There are two types of people in the world. Those who think in dichotomies and those who don't If I kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed -- Josh Whedon This is the captain we have a little problem with our entry sequence so we may experience some slight turbulence, then explode -- Joss Whedon Finally there is nothing here for death to take away What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife -- Rodney Dangerfield My wife and I were happy for twenty years.

Others just get wet -- Bob Marley I did not attend his funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it -- Mark Twain I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself I don't want to die without any scars A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing -- Oscar Wilde I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed -- Shakespear Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck -- Joss Whedon Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes -- Oscar Wilde Never memorise something that you can look up -- Einstein America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. -- Lincoln There are three types of lies -- lies, damn lies, and statistics Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds -- Einstein Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication -- Steve Jobs You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future -- Steve Jobs I know this real pathetic loser; who would be perfect for you -- Scott Dikkers You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will some how connect in your future. You have to trust in something -- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life -- Steve Jobs If I agreed with you, wed both be wrong Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's lifeā€¦ Stay hungry. Stay foolish -- Steve Jobs Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn -- Clark Gable Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not?

Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me -- Steve Jobs Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary -- Steve Jobs When I started in this business one of the biggest challenges was people couldn't type, one day we realised that death would eventually take of this -- Steve Jobs One More Thing -- Steve Jobs Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. -- Steve Jobs Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose -- Steve Jobs We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life -- Steve Jobs If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right Fashion is what seems beautiful now but looks ugly later; art can be ugly at first but it becomes beautiful later Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind -- Dr Seuss Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened -- Dr Seuss Sometimes I live in the country.

I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by -- Douglas Adams When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer -- Douglas Adams I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it I'm willing to admit that I may not always be right, but I am never wrong When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself I like work; it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours Reality leaves a lot to the imagination -- John Lennon Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one -- Einstein I like what I do, and I do what I like Small minds discuss people; Average minds discuss events; Great minds discuss ideas -- Eleanor Roosevelt Love is the prerogative of the brave It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death -- Eleanor Roosevelt Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things, but for good people to do evil things it takes religion -- Nobel prize winning physicist But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. - William Butler Yeats You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead -- The Beatles If you don't know your purpose, others will put you to good use achieving theirs Take a dog, make him prosperous, and he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between dog and man Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time Youth is a wonderful thing.

Poor bastard will see them soon enough -- Fear and Loathing in Las vegas Let's give the boy a lift, What? No. We can't stop here. This is bat country!! -- Fear and Loathing in Las vegas It's okay. He's just admiring the shape of your skull -- Fear and Loathing in Las vegas Jesus! You see what God just did to us, man? - God didn't do that, you did it.

The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails We must all hang together or assuredly we will all hang separately When your work speaks for itself; don't interrupt We learn nothing from the things we know, The more you know the less you need to say, The less you know the more you believe Desire and commitment are the fuel which propels us to achieve greatness I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again.

Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome Real Knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse (to the trap) gets the cheese Ubung macht den Meister. (Practice makes the master.) Happiness is not having what you want, it is wanting what you have Have no fear of perfection--you'll never reach it The desire to seem clever often keeps us from being so I aim to misbehave -- Firefly Everything you look for and all that you perceive has a way of proving whatever you believe I have wit, I have charm, I have brains, I have legs that go all the way down to the floor, my friend -- Westwing If I could drop dead right now, i'd be the happiest man alive Love is the answer, but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary There's one thing more painful than learning from experience and thats not learning from experience The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it Who is wise in love, love most, say least Follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will follow thee Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species I think serial monogamy says it all Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered The things that we love tell us what we are Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm Just have to keep reminding myself that success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm, though saying that, the definition of a mad man is trying the same thing over and over expecting a different result The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep You must do the things you think you cannot do The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and forever getting poorer Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction Love is hope, to believe in the impossible and to be open to failure Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, loving someone deeply gives you courage A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right you'll probably never do much of anything If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready, we shall never begin Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing -- Salvador Dali The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot -- Salvador Dali I don't do drugs.

The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do -- Steve Jobs Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land amongst the stars When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved. There can be no offence where none is taken I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel The one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is unchangeable or certain No individual raindrop considers itself responsible for the flood Always forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them so much -- Oscar Wilde When asked if my cup is half-full or half-empty my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions; he is neither hot nor timid The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet -- Napoleon Bonaparte Everyone thinks I'm psychotic except for my imaginary friend who lives in my finger Some people's minds are like cement: all mixed up and permanently set Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice The only thing standing between you & your goal is the b.s. story you keep telling yourself why you can't achieve it Anything not worth doing is worth not doing well, Think about it I have the heart of a child. I keep it in a jar on my shelf There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child We must be our own before we can be another's The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half I'm not dumb. I just have a command of throughly useless information It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told, Religion is doing what you are told regardless of what is right I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

It takes something that's really new and really captures people's imagination.

Do be do be do. -- Sinatra. Dewey: Like Pastor Roy said, how God's so much bigger and wiser than us. And trying to see what he's thinking would be like an ant trying to see what I'm thinking. Teacher: Yes, exactly. But we can trust in his wisdom and we can have faith that he is watching over us. Dewey: Like me with the anthill in my backyard. I spent days watching the ants, trying to figure out which ones were good and which ones were bad. But they all just look like ants. So I started smiting all of them. I was smiting them with the garden hose, and with lighter fluid, and with the lawnmower. And to be perfectly honest, I think I went a little crazy with the shovel. Those ants could have been praying to me all day; I wouldn't have heard 'em. There was nothing they could do about it. Really, it's the same with us. There's nothing we can do about anything, either. So why worry about it? Hey, this is making me feel better. I guess all we can do is live our lives with as much kindness and decency as possible and try not to dwell on God standing over us with that giant shovel. Bye!
