That's lovely. I have a high pain threshold. Burning isn't one of those things I deal well with. Maybe a vampire thing? Cutting I'm fine with as long as I'm the one holding the blade, or somone I love. @Jake the Snake. "Whenever your ready my prince I bought this blade off of eBay, they say it's authentic and was wielded by Jack the Ripper." *Hands Jake the blade which was held by Jack*
I feel high right now... thank you @Cave Troll there was blood. Reminds me what I did last night. Not nearly as precise. That girl bled, bless her for that.
Getting excited @Jake the Snake im getting excited... I better do some dishes to get unexcited or someone might bleed again.
Though I have trouble adhering to this quote, it's still one of my favorites. "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." - Marcus Aurelius
From his Birmingham jail cell, [Martin Luther] King wrote: “I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’.”
Aren't you a conservative or something? Curious that you would be quoting one of his more radical lines.
Interesting that you apparently think that one must agree with a quote in order to find it worth considering. The tragedy of our current obsession with partisan politics, I guess.
"Soon we'll be out amid the cold world's strife Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life." --Tom Lehrer, from "Bright College Days" One of his best couplets.
Holy fuck the blood drinking psychopathic vampires in me loves loves loves loves this. *Licks the blood off her blade*
I find comfort in solitude. Afterall, it is the DNA of being introverted. -Michael Kilby- The moment you feel you need to prove yourself, is the moment you need to be silent and walk away. -Unknown- You don't always need to show off. People will see your talents and highlights without you exaggerating them. -Amber Hope- You learn a lot about people when you listen to the songs that mean something to them. -Unknown- Only in math problems can you buy 60 cantaloupes and nobody asks what the hell is wrong with you. -Unknown- I'd say for those people who don't feel like they fit in, I'd want them to ask themselves why they want to, who they are trying to please, and whether or not those people are worth it. You know what they say: 'If they don't want you, then they don't deserve to have you. -Connor Paolo-
I didn't say anything about "must". But given the thread is called "favourite quotes" it generally implies you like it. And you liking that quote was not expected to me. So I commented on that interest.
Although "his" books were written for children and young adults, I find a lot of the things he says in them are very profound and philosophical. “If you have ever lost a loved one, then you know exactly how it feels. And if you have not, then you cannot possibly imagine it.” - Lemony Snicket “But there are times in this harum-scarum world when figuring out the right thing to do is quite simple, but doing the right thing is simply impossible....” - Lemony Snicket “The sea is nothing but a library of all the tears in history.” - Lemony Snicket “Arguing with somebody is never pleasant, but sometimes it is useful and necessary to do so.” - Lemony Snicket “Sometimes even in most unfortunate of lives there will occur a moment or two of good.” - Lemony Snicket “Literature doesn’t exactly have a strong mental-health track record.” - Lemony Snicket “All cannot be lost when there is still so much being found.” - Lemony Snicket “One of the most troublesome things in life is that what you do or do not want has very little to do with what does or does not happen." - Lemony Snicket “It is a lonely feeling when someone you care about becomes a stranger.” - Lemony Snicket
