So if I’ve got even a Jew at an Al Qaeda pep rally’s shot at getting my black ass up out of this motherfucker I’m taking it!” - Lafayette "Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision" - Salvador Dalí "I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days-- three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain." - John Keats "I'm a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't." F. Scott Fitzgerald “I think a woman gets more happiness out of being gay, light-hearted, unconventional, mistress of her own fate.... I want [my daughter] to be a flapper, because flappers are brave and gay and beautiful.” - Zelda Fitzgerald "The Gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again." - Achilles/Troy "We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will." - Chuck Palahniuk "You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry" - Catcher in the Rye "That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam...To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known." ~Dr. Carl Sagan "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. " ~Oscar Wilde "The universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws." - Stephen Hawking Mankind is poised midway between the gods and the beasts. - Plotinus "Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." "This CGI bullshit is the death knell of cinema. If I’d wanted all that computer game bullshit, I’d have stuck my dick in a Nintendo." - Quentin Tarantino "When you raise your right hand, your mirror image raises its left hand. When an axion raises its right hand, its mirror image raises its right hand" - Dr. Kolena still trying to figure out what this means.. "By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out." - Richard Dawkins. "Your work should be an act of love, not a marriage of convenience" - Haruki Murakami |
