[Brattt8525]

Who knows what true loneliness is -- not the conventional word but the naked terror? To the lonely themselves it wears a mask. The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion.
Joseph Conrad

I could come up with these all day, but these are some of my favorites.


"One man with courage is a majority" - Thomas Jefferson

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." -Paul, book of Romans

I define a world without man as a problem!

Ok, other than just being annoying, I also have a serious question: Arkans, What does this quote mean to you that makes it notable? I'm not sure I follow where you are going with it. You advocate the destruction of man? Or is it just funny to you or what?

Because in politics, it is, in essence, true. While incredibly evil and does not jive with the "ideals" that the Soviet Union was built on, it is something that you cannot deny the truth of.

"When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying."

My beloved, do not be surprised if the world hates you. ~ John

The World Health Organization estimates that over 24,000 children around the world will die of starvation today, and you don't give a fuck. Whats worse though is that you are more concerned that I said the word fuck rather than 24,000 children will die today from a preventable cause.

Anything Gordon Strachan (Ex Scottish International and football manager) said to reporters...such as:

Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?
Strachan: No, I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home,
become an alcoholic and maybe ! jump of a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.

Reporter: There's no negative vibes or negative feelings here?
Strachan: Apart from yourself, we're all quite positive round here. I'm going to whack you over the head with a big stick, down negative man,down.

Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were
better than you today?
Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there....

Reporter: You don't take losing lightly, do you Gordon?
Strachan: I don't take stupid comments lightly either.

Reporter: How do you feel about your player Delgado's comments in the Press this week?
Strachan: I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish and the expiry date is today. That can be my priority rather than Agustin Delgado.

These are some of my favorites.

We cross out bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us with nothing to show for it but the memory of smoke and the presumption that, once, our eyes watered.
-Tom Stoppard from the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"

Life was not a valuable gift, but death was. Life was a fever-dream made up of joys embittered by sorrows, pleasure poisoned by pain; a dream that was a nightmare-confusion of spasmodic and fleeting delights, ecstasies, exultations, happiness, interspersed with long-drawn miseries, griefs, perils, horrors, disappointments, defeats, humiliations, and despairs - the heaviest kind of curse devisable by divine ingenuity; but death was sweet, death was gentle, death was kind; death healed the bruised spirit and the broken heart, and gave them rest and forgetfulness; death was man's best friend; when man could endure life no longer, death came and set him free.
- Mark Twain in "Letters from the Earth"

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
- Kahil Gibran

This living hand now warm and capable of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold and in the icy silence of the tomb, so haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights that thou wouldst wish thine own heart dry of blood so in my veins red life might stream again, and thou would be conscience-calmed - see, here it is - I hold it out towards you.
- John Keats "The Cap and Bells"

Nothing Can Defeat the PENIS! - Xander in Buffy The Vampire Slayer

[Toxicvixen]

"Life is really a matter of self-delusion, isn't it? People tell themselves that this or that will make them happy and, when they finally have their heart's desire, they find that they're no different at the end of their journey than when they began."

- LaCroix in Forever Knight

[Skeeter]

This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

[Music Guy]

While we are on the Full Metal Jacket quotes...

"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?"

-Gunnery Sergeant Hartman

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -Krishnamurti

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly." -- Thomas Paine

When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
-Herman Hesse

--"Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorifics and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together. Often the very young, the untraveled, the naive, the unsophisticated deplore these formalities as 'empty,' 'meaningless,' or 'dishonest,' and scorn to use them. No matter how 'pure' their motives, they thereby throw sand into machinery that does not work too well at best."
--R.A. Heinlein (as Lazarus Long)

After a time, you may find that "having" is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as "wanting." It is not logical, but it is often true.

Luck will often enough save a man...if his courage holds.
~Buliwyf~ The 13th Warrior

[Eiderfleur]

This is one of my favourites... I was sure it was Winston Churchill who had said it so I did a search on it and came up with this.


"There is a classic story that I've heard and read several times. I
believe it originated with George Bernard Shaw. The last time I
heard it was a few months ago at a cocktail party. Next to me I
could overhear a man "work" the story on a woman of delightful
loveliness.
He asked: "Would you be willing to sleep with me for one million
dollars?"
"Yes," she replied.
"How about $200," he asked?
"Just what do you think I am," she asked?
"We've already established what you are. Now we're discussing
price," he smiled, thoroughly pleased with his stolen cleverness.

Here is where the story (joke) traditionally ends. But this was not
a traditional woman.
"WE!" she said emphatically, "haven't established anything because
YOU don't have the sense to know the difference between a diamond
and a piece of coal simply because you've heard that both are
formed of carbon. If you can't tell the difference between a person
who sleeps with many partners every night for a few hundred
dollars and a person who sleeps with one person once in a lifetime
for a million dollars, you have demonstrated such enormous
stupidity that it is questionable if you should be considered
responsible for your own actions. For one million dollars there
would even be nuns turning tricks for the church.
"What YOU have established is that if stupidity were cow shit you
alone could fertilize the rice paddies of Asia. Now if you'll excuse
me, I prefer talking with someone who has more brains than a
turtle."
***"


Edited to add because I am obsessive compulsive I did a search on this and it seems there are many people who have used that quote, however, a lot of the sites I found seem to claim Churchill did use it, one even said it was Mark Twain....
