"Stare into the abyss long enough, and eventually some dickass will come along and push you in." Something my friends and I came up with a while ago when we were making parody quotes.
"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." —Jonathan Swift, Thoughts on Various Subjects, Moral and Diverting
There are not more than five primary colours, yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever be seen. -Sun Tzu-
My favorite quote is something I've heard from somewhere (I forgot where it was, I believe it was a podcast?) The quote goes somewhere along the lines of "If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be strong."
"If anybody had a really good argument against evolution, and really thinks he or she has come up with something that all other scientists have overlooked for the past 150 years, then they should stop trolling the internet and publish their work."
Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. - Hawthorne
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman - Virginia Wolf I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host. - Dorothy Parker Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go - OscarWilde It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. - Mark Twain
" The bird of Hermes is my name , eat my wings to make me tame ". By unknowing.( I forgot who is it by , but i think its from alchemy scroll ).
One drink is enough. Two is too many. Three is too few. - Spanish proverb (at least, that's what I was told)
“Truth always rests with the minority … because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion.” — Søren Kierkegaard
"A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely." Roald Dahl (The Twits)
"A friend in need is a friend indeed". I don't know who came up with this first, but I heard it from Placebo the first time. I love it's ambiguous meaning.
Me. (Though countless others have probably come to the same conclusion, so I'm not going to toot my own horn)
I call to mind the following quote when I'm looking for motivation to write: The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. - Vladimir Nabokov
Kind of similar to a Japanese proverb: "The man drinks the first bottle. The first bottle drinks the second bottle. The second bottle drinks the man." And an unrelated quote from Mark Twain: "I did not attend his funeral, but I wrote a very nice letter saying that I approved of it."
Another, possibly apocryphal (but someone said it) Mark Twain quote: "Wagner's music is better than it sounds."
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready-made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. '' So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. - Wendell Berry
