<ul> [*]Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. He who looks outside, dreams. He who looks inside, awakens. -- Carl Gustav Jung [*]Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. -- George Bernard Shaw [*]The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug. -- Maynard James Keenan [*]There is one light of the sun, though it is interrupted by walls, mountains and infinite other things. There is one Intelligent Soul, though it seems to be divided. All things are implicated with one another. The Spirit that bonds us all as One is holy. Everything on Earth, under the heavens, is connected with every other thing. All the different things in the world are coordinated and combined to make up the same universe. -- Marcus Auruelius [*]A belief, however necessary it may be for the preservation of a species, has nothing to do with truth. The falseness of a judgment is not for us necessarily an objection to a judgment. The question is to what extent it is life-promoting, life-preserving, species preserving, perhaps even species cultivating. To recognize untruth as a condition of life--that cetainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way; and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil. -- Friedrich Nietzsche [*]It is always better to have no ideas than false ones; to believe nothing, than to believe what is wrong. -- Thomas Jefferson [*]Conventional wisdom would have one believe that it is insane to resist this, the mightiest of empires... but what history really shows is that today's empire is tomorrow's ashes, that nothing lasts forever, and that to not resist is to acquiesce in your own oppression. The greatest form of sanity that anyone can exercise is to resist that force that is trying to repress, oppress and fight the human spirit. -- Mumia Abu-Jamal [*]To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson [*]I speak without reservation from what I know and who I am. I do so with the understanding that all people should have the right to offer their voice to the chorus whether the result is harmony or dissonance, the world song is a colorless dirge without the differences that distinguish us, and it is that difference which should be celebrated not condemned. -- Ani DiFranco [*]Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities — the political, the religious, the educational authorities — who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing — forming in our minds — their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself. -- Timothy Leary [*]Our lives end the day we become silent about things that matter. -- Martin Luther King Jr. [*]To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. -- E.E. Cummings [*]You say "paranoid conspiracy driven nutcase" like it's a bad thing! None of this is a result of nationwide paranoia -- it is a result of the opposite. Abject apathy on the part of the vast majority of people that are being fleeced and condemned to servitude and worse. While these people freak out over Bush vs. Kerry, who’s going to be the next American Idol or a titty at the Super Bowl. Unbelievably powerful international mega-corporations who don't give a rat's ass about nations, mankind, public health or anything except more profits and power go about their business. -- Unknown [*]The pursuit of truth can only begin once you start to question and analyze every belief that you ever held dear. If a certain belief passes the tests of evidence, deduction, and logic, it should be kept and defended. ….If it doesn't, the belief should not only be discarded, but you must also then question why you were led to believe the erroneous information in the first place. -- Socrates [*]"The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down and around and around. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, 'Is this real, or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say, 'Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.' And we kill those people. 'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry! Look at my big bank account, and my family! This has to be real.' It's just a ride, but we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that, and let the demons run amok? But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride, and you can change it anytime you want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money, a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, and close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride: Take all of that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and instead, spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded and we could explore space together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace." -- Bill Hicks [/list]
"I'm the master of low expectations." —George W. Bush, aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003 "Now, we talked to Joan Hanover. She and her husband, George, were visiting with us. They are near retirement — retiring — in the process of retiring, meaning they're very smart, active, capable people who are retirement age and are retiring." —George W. Bush, Alexandria, Va., Feb. 12, 2003 "I've reminded the prime minister-the American people, Mr. Prime Minister, over the past months that it was not always a given that the United States and America would have a close relationship." --George W.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Swish15:</div><div class="quote_post">I used to watch that show Doug on Nickelodeon when I was little and for some reason I remember them saying this.</div> haha, Doug was cool. Though it was made famous by Caeser. A few others I like si vis pacem, para bellum (if you want peace, prepare for war) vincere est totum (to win is everything) nemo sine vitio est (no one is without fault) fortes fortuna adiuvat (fortune favours the brave) The weak lose their freedom to the strong. Such is the way of the strong. And it is the providence of nature that only the strong survive You don't need a reason to help someone When you do things right people won't be sure you've done anything at all When the great fall the less must lead The truly mighty ones don't flaunt their power We've become a society that lives for the weekend, for vacations, for running away from responsibility. We are proud of how much liquor we can hold, of how many women we can charm our way into bed with, of how well our sports teams are doing. All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us
