"Present day statesmen are making the biggest blunder of the age if they believe that there can be any peace without equity and justice to all
mankind. Any attempt at disarmament when half the world oppresses the other half is but a farce, because the oppressed will make their oppressors get armed sooner or later."
Marcus Garvey: On the topic of World Disarmament.

I believe Red Dwarf has made two very wise statements over time.

"Right, so, you met a girl, you had a fantastic time, and then for some reason you don;t understand it all fell apart. Well, welcome to the human race, it's just you, me and everyone else!"

and

"It is impossible to pee into a urinal when standing next to someone two foot taller than you."

Stovenutts
"If you ever discover that what you're seeing is a play within a play, just slow down, take a deep breath, and hold on for the ride of your life. "

"On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everything drops to zero."

"Give me a reason to smile, I'll give you a reason to cry. Give me a reason to live, I'll give you a reason to die."

"It's only after we've lost everything that we are free to do anything."

"Razors pain you, rivers are damp. Acid stains you and drugs cause cramps. Guns arent lawful, nooses give, gas smells awful, you might as well live."

"Everyone who lives will someday die and die alone."

"I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiled... the girl who always brightened someone's day. Even if I could not brighten my own."

"Why cant they realize my strength? How much it's taken to make so little of myself..."

"They turn skeletons into goddesses and expect us to learn how not to need."

"Self injury is a sign of distress, not madness. We should be congratulated for finding a way to survive."

"I know what it's like to want to die... how it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you cant. How you hurt yourself on the outside to kill the thing on the inside."

"Tell me you dont take that blade, drag it across your skin and pray for the courage to press down."

"I'm sorry if I hurt you, please dont think that this was easy."

"The three grand essentials to life are something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for."

"You live for others and dont get why you are never satisfied."

"When you're hurt, it's natural to cry. It's part of the healing process. But if I've learned one thing about heartache it's that you cant heal forever. Dry your tears, pick yourself up and carry on. Love is out there waiting for you, go out and find it."

"Best friend means I pulled the trigger, best friend means you get what you deserve."

"Our father's were our models for god, if our fathers bailed what does that tell you about god? Listen to me, you have to consider the possibility that god does not like you. He never wanted you, in all probabilty he hates you. This is not the worst that can happen. We dont need him. Fu.ck damnation, man, fu.ck redemption. We are god's unwanted children with no special place or attention? So be it. Now, you can go to the sink and run water over your hand and make it worse or you can use vinegar to neutralize the burn. But first, you have to give up... You have to know, not fear, KNOW that someday you're gunna die. Until you know that you will be useless. Congratulations. You're one step closer to hitting bottom."

Your turn. post your favorite quotes.

I just watched Good Will Hunting today, and this really made me, well, silent for a prolonged period of time.....

"So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my f.ucking life apart. You're an orphan right?
You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally... I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some f.uckin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief." - Sean

"I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived."

"Death is patiently making my mask as I sleep. Each morning I awake to discover in the corners of my eyes the small tears of his wax."

"It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls."

Syren
"My Karma just ran over my Dogma" big grin
