Some genius can be recognized instantly, but my point was, whatever. Here's my opener anyway, and again I want a whole paragraph:
"He who despises himself respects himself because he despises himself." For me the glass is always half full, probably because my glass has always been half empty.
For me the glass is always half empty, probably because my glass has always been half full.
errr.. or the opposite The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do more, and you are not yet decrepit enough to turn them down.
--T. S. Eliot I was sitting in a chair in the patent office at Bern when all of sudden a thought occurred to me: If a person falls freely he will not feel his own weight. I was startled. This simple thought made a deep impression on me. It impelled me toward a theory of gravitation.
--Albert Einstein All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.
--Leo Tolstoy "Parties are intended to be celebrations, and celebrations should be only for those who have something to celebrate".
--Ayn Rand Following a dream I had three years ago, I have become deeply moved by the plight of the Tibetan people, and have been filled with a desire to help them. I also awoke from the same dream realizing that I had subconsciously gained knowledge of a deductive technique, involving mind-body coordination operating hand-in-hand with the deepest level of intuition.
--Dale Cooper There is object proof that homosexuality is more interesting than heterosexuality. It's that one knows a considerable number of heterosexuals who would wish to become homosexuals, whereas one knows very few homosexuals who would really like to become heterosexuals.
--Michel Foucault At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.
— Friedrich Nietzsche "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" - Sir Patrick Stewart (Star Wars: A New Hope)
> A true genius does not need boundaries such as 'common sense'
> "It seems that perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove." The first man to put a fence around his tobacco field, should have been shot - Voltaire.
Not to touch the earth not to see the sun, nothing left to do but run run run - Jim Morrison In the shadowplay acting out your own death knowing no more, as the assassins all grouped in four lines dancing on the floor, and with cold steel odour on their bodies made a move to connect, I could stare in disbelief as the crowds all left... -Ian Curtis, aka only for Joy Division fans And when you kill a man, you're a murderer Kill many, and you're a conqueror Kill them all...Ooh...Oh you're a god! Captive Honor - Megadeth To secure peace is to prepare for war Don't Tread on Me - Metallica Give praise to Satan, he has won Cruxifixation - Deicide Free from my jail of flesh, Far from my earthly trips. Disincarnate... Free from my carnal being, Nearer the Celestial Empire. Shaped Images Of Disincarnate Spirits - Loudblast A man lies in the corner, covered with blood Bloody wounds on his body, praying to his god People pass him by, but they say Why should we care about him? he will die today Riot of Violence - Kreator For more stuff please visit http://www.darklyrics.com/ ;) "Death is not the end - there remains division of the estate." - Ambrose Bierce
Ambrose Bierce is so awesome. Anyone that hasn't checked out "The Devil's Dictionary" yet is missing out. "Birth - the first and worst of all accidents." You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.
An optimist, he looks at the glass of milk and says, it is half full.
A pessimist, he looks at the glass and says, it is half empty. I look at the glass and say it is sour. Jacques 'Jacques' Liverot Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem; neat, plausible, and wrong
pestis eram vivus,moriens tuas mors ero.
as long as pest was alive, your death will be dying. They say that eons ago, a superior species evolved from the apes.
Can someone please tell me where to find them? Cuz I'm stuck hanging out with these guys. One probably could not devise a better system for keeping people with humanistic values away from power than by confining them to decade-long graduate programs with a long future of transient adjunct positions making less than the minimum wage.
Been watching the spurt of "So you want to be a..." youtube videos from a couple years ago lately, where people bitch about their professions. My favourite opening: Q: I want to become an electrical engineer. A: Are you completely insane? Have you no human soul? Lol. The most veritable proof for existence of intelligent life in space is the lack of contact.
-- Stanislaw Lem 'I think the overall highlight was that it used a standard theme, standard monsters, standard weapons, no fancy-assed engine faggotry(...)'
-Shambler The sea doesn't care. It doesn't care if you are thirsty. It doesn't care if you are hungry or have a full belly. It doesn't care if you are too hot, or too cold. It doesn't care if you can breathe or not breathe. It will try to rot you, crush you, wash away everything that matters to you and when it's done it still won't care whether or not you make it past it's challenges. It shall continue to attack you because that's the nature of the sea.
Forget this and you will rue the day that you did. Totalitarianism demands, in fact, the continuous alteration of the past, and in the long run probably demands a disbelief in the very existence of objective truth. The friends of totalitarianism in this country usually tend to argue that since absolute truth is not attainable, a big lie is no worse than a little lie. It is pointed out that all historical records are biased and inaccurate, or on the other hand, that modern physics has proven that what seems to us the real world is an illusion, so that to believe in the evidence of one's senses is simply vulgar philistinism.
God, how this describes the most misguided of my colleagues... |
