Meaningful Quotations

[Inthend]

The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers......but they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

 

 

-- Carl Sagan

That's because Bozo dumbed it down for em. ;)

Simplicity in everything

In every single thing you say and do

Don't get lost, in foggy stuff

Stay on track and let it come to you

Keep your focus on your goal

Use that iron hard control

Use your power and your speed

Get exactly what you need

 

(Bob Seger "Simplicity" from the album "Face the Promise")

“I think if you have a religion that can’t bear being made fun of or laughed at or attacked - viciously - then it’s not much a religion.”

You don't need me . What you really need is a mirror. Because any stranger is for you simply a mirror in which to reflect yourself.

“The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth.” (Dan Rather)

My life for your life While we live, we share the joy of living with each other

My death for your life I would be willing to lay down my life to save yours

My life for your death I will spend my life avenging your death

My death for your death A part of me will die, when you do

 

 

If I ever get a tattoo I want this with maybe a wolf's head

If He does not support us, not one of us is safe from some gross sin. On the other hand, no possible degree of holiness or heroism which has ever been recorded of the greatest saints is beyond what He is determined to produce in every one of us in the end. The job will not be completed in this life: but He means to get us as far as possible before death. (C.S. Lewis)

is still

better than

"All people are insane," he said. "They will do anything at any time, and God help anybody who looks for reasons."

 

Kurt Vonnegut (Mother Night)

 

[vaportrailer]

"There are plenty of good reasons for fighting," I said, "but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too. Where's evil? It's that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side. It's that part of every man that finds all kinds of ugliness so attractive.

"It's that part of an imbecile," I said, "that punishes and vilifies and makes war gladly."

"Maybe things will get better, don't you know that a drowning man don't get no wetter,and the same rain falls on you, falls on me." Robin Trower, Same Rain Falls Awesome Quote! Throughout the 40 plus years since I first heard that song, that line pops into my thoughts for no reason, and always makes me smile at the brilliance and simple truth that those words say.

Our Beer,

Which art in barrels

Hallowed be thy drink.

Thy will be drunk,

As I will be drunk,

At home as in the tavern

Give us this day our foamy head

and forgive us our spillages

as we forgive those that spill against us

and lead us not into incarceration.

But deliver us from hang-overs,

for thine is the beer,

The bitter and the mild

forever and ever

Barmen!

Statism needs war; a free country does not. Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by producing." - Ayn Rand

[The Cat 3]

I wish I was someone else

I'm confused, I'm afraid, I hate the loneliness

And there's nowhere to run to

Nothing makes any sense, but I still try my hardest

 

Take my hand

Please help me man

 

Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

And I don't know where to start

And I don't know where to begin, to begin

 

If I was stupid or naive

Trying to achieve what they all call contentedness

If people weren't such dicks and I never made mistakes

Then I could find forgiveness

 

Take my hand

Please help me man

 

Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

And I don't know where to start

And I don't know where to begin, oh no

 

I can't be someone else

I don't feel that it's hopeless

I don't feel that I'm useless

I can't throw it all away

 

I need some courage to find my weakness

And with your love, I know with all my heart I can win

 

Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

And I just need something to believe in

I'm looking for something to believe in

And I just need something to believe in
