"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." - Albert Einstein "Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh." - George Bernard Shaw "And I make no apology for linking my thinking with computer technology." - Maxi Jazz "The world is run by C students." - Al McGuire "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire "My dear child, you must believe in God despite what the clergy tells you." - Benjamin Jowett "Kids need to start thinking for themselves. Not to be like their friends that think they're individuals. I don't want you to be like us, I want you to be like you." - Marilyn Manson "Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible." - Frank Zappa "The truly educated can listen to any view without losing their temper or self-confidence." - Robert Frost "Only two things are certain: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein "He who hides his madman, dies voiceless." - Henri Michaux There is no safe road to paradise. "A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit." - Elton Trueblood "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." - Mark Twain "I don't like the human race in general. We are the only species who hunt for sport, who kill due to emotional need." - Peter Steele "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein "For the works of the creative spirit last, they are essentially imperishable, while the world-stirring historical activities of even the most eminent men are circumscribed by time. Napolean is dead - but Beethoven lives." - Bruno Walter "The trick is not to be taken in by the American fascination with things. To instead view life in terms of the real American dream of finding a chance to be who you really are and to express yourself accordingly." - Larry Brody "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." - Martin Luther King, Jr. "The only thing in college you need to figure out is how to balance school and drugs." - Popcorn "I like nonsense; it wakes up the brains cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." - Theodor Seuss Geisel "C'mon, we're all intelligent guys. We can get drunk every night." -Keith Peterson "Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein The essence of life is not long life, but true life. "You have to forget about what other people say, when you're supposed to die, or when you're supposed to be loving. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven." - Jimi Hendrix The only risks we regret in life are the ones we never take. "She thinks her money is her money, and my money is our money." - Cornelius DeRamos "We must be getting old. If we were at a party like this in college we would just plant ourselves by the keg and get wasted. Now all we want to do is go home and go to bed." - Jason Henderson, NYE 2001 "But why think about that when all the golden land's ahead of you and all kinds of unforseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you're alive to see?" -Jack Kerouac "I think that, unfortunately, a lot of orthodox Catholics and Christians are either sitting in the cave hunkered down, or they're like Jonah sitting under a Gourd plant waiting for God to vent his wrath on the world - on the ungodly - and they're going to be disappointed if He doesn't. I don't see these people having sorrow for sin; I see them having indignation towards sin. And to me, that's an important difference. Sorrow for sin is 'I am a part of this.' Indignation for sin is 'you are the ones messing up the world.'" - Barbara Nicolosi "We have MTV. Who needs religion?" - Doug Huff "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind is closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do i know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." - Julius Caesar You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever. No matter how often we say money doesn't buy happiness, we are always willing to give it another chance. "Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems painful can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such." - Henry Miller "Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking towards me, without hurrying." - Jean Cocteau "The one thing rich men believe more easily than poor men is that they are irresistible to sexy women half their age." - Roger Ebert "Somehow I'm actually getting women. I don't know what the fucking deal is." - Jim Alexander "Sometimes I feel like the corner in the circle." - Erik Lange "I want to do something that matters." - Trent Reznor "Don't find the one you can live with, find the one you can't live without." - Dad "The essential, but often well-disguised, purpose of intelligent design, is to preserve the myth of a separate, divine creation for humans in the belief that only that can explain who we are. But there is a destructive hubris, a fearful arrogance, in that myth. It sets us apart from nature, except to dominate it. It misses both the grace and the moral depth of knowing that humans have only the same stake, the same right, in the Earth as every other creature that has ever lived here. There is a righteousness - a responsibility - in the deep, ancestral origins we share with all of life." - Verlyn Klinkenborg "Lives that are not enlivened and enhanced by the rewards of trying and succeeding and failing at things that seem beyond your capabilities are usually boring lives. They are lives not fully realized. They are, if you will, lives not worth the inevitable pain that is sure to come, no matter how careful you are." - Jacquelyn Mitchard The goal of physicists is to find a use for every possible branch of mathematics. The goal of mathematicians is to invent a new field of mathematics that has absolutely no practical use. "Religion is the opiate of the masses." - Karl Marx Revel in your time. "I do not think it is necessary to believe that the same God who has given us our senses, reason, and intelligence wished us to abandon their use, giving us by some other means the information that we could gain through them." - Galileo Galilie Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand and harder to modify. "I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me." - Marilyn Manson "What is the nature of God? His nature is entirely dependent upon the age or culture that has reinvented him." - Solomon Skink "It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life, perpetuating itself through all eternity; to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the Universe; and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature." - Albert Einstein "None of you will ever know what I am thinking." - Kurt Cobain "It is not enough merely to love literature, if one wishes to spend one's life as a writer. It is a dangerous undertaking on the most primitive level. For, it seems to me, the act of writing with serious intent involves enormous personal risk. It entails the ongoing courage for self-discovery. It means one will walk forever on the tightrope, with each new step presenting the possibility of learning a truth about oneself that is too terrible to bear." - Harlan Ellison "The race of life does not go to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; there is no bread for the wise, wealth for the intelligent, nor favor for the learned; all are subject to time and mischance." - Ecclesiates 9:11 "The chief enemy of creativity is 'good taste.' " - Pablo Picasso "My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose...I suspect that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of, or can be dreamed of, in any philosophy. That is...why I have no philosophy myself, and must be my excuse for dreaming." - J.B.S. Haldane "I could care less what people think." - Rob Zombie Every now and then say, "what the fuck." "What the fuck" gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future. "I believe in God, only I spell it Nature." - Frank Lloyd Wright "I'm not going to change my ways just because of the fucking law." - Matt Meyer "I play music. People are affected by the music I play. That doesn't mean I direct traffic! That doesn't mean I put a knife in anybody's hand and tell 'em to go kill somebody!" - Charles Manson "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen Roberts "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 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 that even one life has breathed a little easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "life is meant to be lived. you're still alive. go live." - david todd
