I think I will be able to, in the end, rise above the clouds and climb the stairs to Heaven, and I will look down on my beautiful life. -- Yayoi Kusama
I was looking for a negative quote about obsessions & do we REALLY have to subject the rest of the world to them ALL the time but I found this. Pretty good! “If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you, I would be your slave.” ― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
It's a bit cliche I think, but I do like them a lot. "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" - Voltaire (I believe) "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, And the oldest and strongest kind of fear, is33333 fear of the unknown" - H.P Lovecraft
Mosquitos or sharks? Which do you prefer? Considering their impact, you might expect mosquitoes to get more attention than they do. Sharks kill fewer than a dozen people every year, and in the U.S. they get a week dedicated to them on TV every year. - Bill Gates
'Every time you tell a lie an angel punches a unicorn in the face with a kitten.' -Gary- How to be dead by Dave Turner.
"The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war." — Sydney J. Harris
I only saw 1 Kerouac quote so I thought I should add some "I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion." Jack Kerouac "My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them." Jack Kerouac "A pain stabbed my heart, as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world." Jack Kerouac And of course. .. "The only people for me are the mad ones: the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who... burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles." Jack Kerouac
Damn, didn't even notice. No, had some problems with my keyboard (it seems it's more advanced than I can handle ^^) where it would just, at random times type "3" a lot...got it fixed now though. Will go back and edit, cheers! ^^
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. ATTRIBUTION: HENRY DAVID THOREAU, Walden, chapter 18, p. 430 (1966).
"If you base medicine on science, you cure people. If you base the design of planes on science, they fly. If you base the design of rockets on science, they reach the moon. It works. Bitches."-Richard Dawkins (Just imagine it in his posh English voice )
Two quotes about life affirming pursuits. They came to me this morning as I drove into work and thought that it would be good to share them again. One is about truth and the other is about happiness, not sure why they came to me together on this day. First we will hear Uncle Fred from over 120 years ago, and the second was uttered by a professor & friend about 35 years ago. On truth: "If you don't want your eyes and mind to fade, pursue the sun while walking in the shade." "Happiness is not a goal, yet it is something that feels exacting. It will likely cross your path on your way to finding out what you are about and you will know it."
Abraham Lincoln Had It Right - “He who represents himself has a fool for a client” True, in a lot of different ways.
