Quotes : Mark
�Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.� --- Mark Twain �To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.�--- Mark Twain �Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear�--- Mark Twain �Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first�--- Mark Twain

Quotes : Henry
�If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.�--- Henry Rollins �Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on.�--- Henry Rollins �Half of life is ****ing up the other half is dealing with it.�--- Henry Rollins �If you hate your parents, the man or the establishment, don't show them up by getting wasted and wrapping your car around a tree. If you really want to rebel against your parents: outearn them, outlive them, and know more than they do.�--- Henry Rollins �Life is full of choices, if you have the guts to go for it. That's why I get immediately bored with anyone's complaining about how boring their life is, or how bad their town is. ****ing leave and go somewhere else. Or don't.�--- Henry Rollins �I don't believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However much of that gets heaped upon you doesn't matter - it's only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you.� --- Henry Rollins "I am ready for whatever's coming. I expect nothing but to be let down or turned away. I am alone. Goddamn. The **** hurts sometimes, but I realize what I am, what I have become. The alien man waved his arms up and down and noticed that he couldn't wave in the right language so he stopped."--- Henry Rollins "There are so many hammocks to catch you if you fall, so many laws to keep you from experience. All these cities I have been in the last few weeks make me fully understand the cozy, stifling state in which most people pass through life. I don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride. All you do is get to breathe and copulate and finally die. I don't want to go with the smooth skin and the calm brow. I hope I end up a blithering idiot cursing the sun - hallucinating, screaming, giving obscene and inane lectures on street corners and public parks. People will walk by and say, "Look at that drooling idiot. What a basket case." I will turn and say to them "It is you who are the basket case. For every moment you hated your job, cursed your wife and sold yourself to a dream that you didn't even conceive. For the times your soul screamed yes and you said no. For all of that. For your self-torture, I see the glowing eyes of the sun! The air talks to me! I am at all times!" And maybe, the passers by will drop a coin into my cup."--- Henry Rollins "Want a good body? Work at it. Want to be a success? Work at it. Want to be truly exceptional? Be a touch insane...You need a little bit of insanity to do great things." --- Henry Rollins "Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it's all about. The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you're made of and what you're capable of. If you're never tested, you'll never define you character." --- Henry Rollins

Quotes: Theodore
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."--- Theodore Roosevelt

Quotes: Issac
�When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.�--- Isaac Asimov �If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul.�---Isaac Asimov �Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.�--- Isaac Asimov �It has been my philosophy of life that difficulties vanish when faced boldly�--- Isaac Asimov �I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.�--- Isaac Asimov

Quotes: Jean-Paul Sartre
"So that is what hell is. I would never have believed it. You remember: the fire and brimstone, the torture. Ah! the farce. There is no need for torture: hell is other people." Jean-Paul Satre

Quotes : Chuck
�Are these things really better than the things I already have? Or am I just trained to be dissatisfied with what I have now? Am I just under a spell that says nothing is ever good enough?�--- Chuck Palahniuk �There are worse things than finding your wife and child dead. You can watch the world do it. You can watch your wife get old and bored. You can watch your kids discover everything in the world you've tried to save them from. Drugs, divorce, conformity, disease. All the nice clean books, music, television. Distraction.�--- Chuck Palahniuk �Here in the bathroom with me are razor blades. Here is iodine to drink. Here are sleeping pills to swallow. You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be. Every time you don�t throw yourself down the stairs, that�s a choice. Every time you don�t crash your car, you reenlist.�--- Chuck Palahniuk �Art never comes from happiness.�--- Chuck Palahniuk

Quotes : Eddie
�But with dogs, we do have �bad dog.� Bad dog exists. �Bad dog! Bad dog! Stole a biscuit, bad dog!� The dog is saying, �Who are you to judge me? You human beings who�ve had genocide, war against people of different creeds, colors, religions, and I stole a biscuit?! Is that a crime? People of the world!� �Well, if you put it that way, I think you�ve got a point. Have another biscuit, sorry.�� --- Eddie Izzard ��Cause Jesus I do think did exist, and he was, I think, a guy who had interesting ideas in the Gandhi-type area, in the Nelson Mandela-type area, you know, relaxed and groovy; and the Romans thought, "Relaxed and groovy?! No, no, no, no, no!" So they murdered him. And kids eat chocolate eggs, because of the color of the chocolate, and the color of the... wood on the cross. Well, you tell me! It's got nothing to do with it, has it?�--- Eddie Izzard

Quotes : Fred
�You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.�--- Friedrich Nietzsche �I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you�.�--- Friedrich Nietzsche �To make the individual uncomfortable, that is my task�--- Friedrich Nietzsche �A thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform us��--- Friedrich Nietzsche �Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.�--- Friedrich Nietzsche "Gods too decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.�--- Friedrich Nietzsche

Quotes : Dan
�The 1st period is won by the best technician. The 2nd period is won by the kid in the best shape. The 3rd period is won by the kid with the biggest heart.�--- Dan Gable �Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy.�--- Dan Gable �I shoot, I score. He shoots, I score.�--- Dan Gable

Quotes : Socrates
�It is not living that matters, but living rightly.� --- Socrates �By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher...and that is a good thing for any man.�--- Socrates �An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all�--- Socrates �True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.�--- Socrates
