Important Quotes to You

[Emo Emu]

I think there was a thread like this before, but I'm not sure if it's still around because the search told me to sod off. Anyway, what are some quotes that mean a lot to you, inspire you, or changed your perspective on things? Don't forget to put why too!

- Luke

Yes, I'll start, cuz this thread really is inspired by something I read.

"If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the fuck alone!"

Reason it's a good quote: Not too sure, but it struck a chord with me. Probably because it made me realize that back when I was in HS I was too chicken shit to stand up for things and just followed the crowd. Eh.. it's late and I'm not sure any of this makes sense :-P

Here's a famous one

Don't die for your country, let the other bastard die for his

[Miss X]

This quote is long and pretty intense but I think it's amazing. I've never identified with anything as much as this (feminists run away now..):

I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don't mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling all that I am capable of doing but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.

-- They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.


The above sums up my life.
