Favorite quotation?
I have quite a few:
"life of man, solitary, nasty, brutish and short." -Hobbes "Man, by nature are political animals." -Aristotle "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." -Voltaire "History is a set of lies agreed upon." -Napoleon Bonaparte "A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic" - Stalin "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." - Plato "A nation that gives up a little liberty for a little order deserves neither." - Thomas Jefferson "You're not your f*ckin' khakis." - Tyler Durden "Self-improvement is masturbation." - Tyler Durden "A life unexamined is not a life worth living." - Socrates "All things are the same, familiar in experience, and ephemeral in time, and worthless in the matter. Everything now is just as it was in the time of those whom we have buried." - Marcus Aurelius And, of course, one of my favorties: "The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit." - George Bernard Shaw :) What are you favorite quotations/words of wisdom that you live by? |
"Feel with your hands, not your heart."
- Michael Jackson |
Freakin a, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.
-Brad Pitt in Fight Club |
" A true friend stabs you in the front"
- Oscar Wilde "I came here to do 2 things... chew bubble gum and kick ass... And I'm all out of bubble gum." - Roddy piper in They Live "Win if you can, lose if you must, but ALWAYS CHEAT!" -Jesse "The Governor" Ventura "If the Gods built me a ladder to the heavens, I would climb that ladder and drop a big elbow on thw world." -Cactus Jack "I have never failed... I've discovered 10,000 ways that don't work" -Thomas Edison "You think you're strong?!?" *spits on floor* "PICK THAT UP!!!" -Billy Jack Funk (This is not exact) "I take infants from mothers at birth, I've turned cities into salt, and every once in a while, WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT, I eat small small children and take their souls... and the only thing you can ever be sure of... is that you'l NEVER know why." -Christopher Walken as the angel Gabriel in The Prophecy |
don't know who the quote is from....
"The point of was is not to die for your country but make the other bastard die for his" --unknown |

"Life's not a bitch, life's a beautiful woman. You only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that *****"
-Aesop Rock. |
ooh, I forgot one of my favorites:
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as I am known." Not revealing the source. But it's from a good book ;) |

WAITRESS
Can I get anybody more coffee. JOE No, we're gonna be hittin it. I'll take care of the check. She hands the bill to him. WAITRESS Here ya go. Please pay at the register, if you wouldn't mind. JOE Sure thing. WAITRESS You guys have a wonderful day. They all mutter equivalents. She exits and Joe stands up. JOE I'll take care of this, you guys leave the tip. (to Mr. White) And when I come back, I want my book back. MR. WHITE Sorry, it's my book now. JOE Blonde, shoot this piece of ****, will ya? Mr. Blonde shoots Mr. White with his finger. Mr White acts shot. Joe exits. NICE GUY EDDIE Okay, everybody cough up green for the little lady. Everybody whips out a buck, and throws it on the table. Everybody, that is, except Mr. White. NICE GUY EDDIE C'mon, throw in a buck. MR. WHITE Uh-uh. I don't tip. NICE GUY EDDIE Whaddaya mean you don't tip? MR. WHITE I don't believe in it. NICE GUY EDDIE You don't believe in tipping? MR. PINK (laughing) I love this kid, he's a madman, this guy. MR. BLONDE Do you have any idea what these ladies make? They make ****. MR. WHITE Don't give me that. She don't make enough money, she can quit. Everybody laughs. NICE GUY EDDIE I don't even know a Jew who'd have the balls to say that. So let's get this straight. You never ever tip? MR. WHITE I don't tip because society says I gotta. I tip when somebody deserves a tip. When somebody really puts forth an effort, they deserve a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, that ****'s for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doin their job. MR. BLUE Our girl was nice. MR. WHITE Our girl was okay. She didn't do anything special. MR. BLONDE What's something special, take ya in the kitchen and suck your dick? They all laugh. NICE GUY EDDIE I'd go over twelve percent for that. MR. WRITE Look, I ordered coffee. Now we've been here a long ****in time, and she's only filled my cup three times. When I order coffee, I want it filled six times. MR. BLONDE What if she's too busy? MR. WHITE The words "too busy" shouldn't be in a waitress's vocabulary. NICE GUY EDDIE Excuse me, Mr. White, but the last thing you need is another cup of coffee. They all laugh. MR. WHITE These ladies aren't starvin to death. They make minimum wage. When I worked for minimum wage, I wasn't lucky enough to have a job that society deemed tipworthy. NICE GUY EDDIE Ahh, now we're getting down to it. It's not just that he's a cheap bastard-- MR. ORANGE --It is that too-- NICE GUY EDDIE --It is that too. But it's also he couldn't get a waiter job. You talk like a pissed off dishwasher: "**** those ****s and their ****ing tips." MR. BLONDE So you don't care that they're counting on your tip to live? Mr. White rubs two of his fingers together. MR. WHITE Do you know what this is? It's the world's smallest violin, playing just for the waitresses. MR. BLONDE You don't have any idea what you're talking about. These people bust their ass. This is a hard job. MR. WHITE So's working at McDonald's, but you don't feel the need to tip them. They're servin ya food, you should tip em. But no, society says tip these guys over here, but not those guys over there. That's bull****. MR. ORANGE They work harder than the kids at McDonald's. MR. WHITE Oh yeah, I don't see them cleaning fryers. MR. BROWN These people are taxed on the tips they make. When you stiff 'em, you cost them money. MR. BLONDE Waitressing is the number one occupation for female non-college graduates in this country. It's the one jab basically any woman can get, and make a living on. The reason is because of tips. MR. WHITE **** all that. They all laugh. MR. WHITE Hey, I'm very sorry that the government taxes their tips. That's ****ed up. But that ain't my fault. it would appear that waitresses are just one of the many groups the government ****s in the ass on a regular basis. You show me a paper says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it. Put it to a vote, I'll vote for it. But what I won't do is play ball. And this non- college bull**** you're telling me, I got two words for that: "Learn to ****in type." Cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent, you're in for a big ****in surprise. MR. ORANGE He's convinced me. Give me my dollar back. Everybody laughs. Joe's comes back to the table. JOE Okay ramblers, let's get to rambling. Wait a minute, who didn't throw in? MR. ORANGE Mr. White. JOE (to Mr. Orange) Mr. White? (to Mr. White) Why? MR. ORANGE He don't tip. JOE (to Mr. Orange) He don't tip? (to Mr. White) You don't tip? Why? MR. ORANGE He don't believe in it. JOE (to Mr. Orange) He don't believe in it? (to Mr. White) You don't believe in it? MR. ORANGE Nope. JOE (to Mr. Orange) Shut up! (to Mr. White) Cough up the buck, ya cheap bastard, I paid for your goddamn breakfast. MR. WHITE Because you paid for the breakfast, I'm gonna tip. Normally I wouldn't. JOE Whatever. Just throw in your dollar, and let's move. (to Mr. Blonde) See what I'm dealing with here. Infants. I'm ****in dealin with infants. The eight men get up to leave. Mr. White's waist is in the F.G. As he buttons his coat, for a second we see he's carrying a gun. They exit Uncle Bob's Pancake House, talking amongst themselves. |

Hey, that reminds me of a good one. "A Message Board fight is like the Special Olympics. Win or lose, you're still retarded." My personal favorite person/character to quote is Luca Blight of Suikoden II. Hah, did anyone see that coming? "To end this war? That's a fairy tale...it's a foolish child's dream. Even if you kill me and defeat Highland, you won't have peace! You'll have a defeated country screaming for our vengeance." "I don't care about breeding. A sword doesn't need a fine lineage. It just needs to be sharp." "Let me tell you something. There are weak men and strong men in this world. The strong men take everything and the weak men die. That's how the world was designed. Now I will show you how it works, weaklings!" "You can round up a million maggots to try to defeat me... but you'll still all just be maggots!" And... from Valkyrie Profile "Surt, vile evil-doer, the time has come to send you back to the nothingness of the abyss! We will not wait for Lord Odin's divine attention. The power to enforce his will is mine. Now, as is fit for a king...Draw your sword. Draw and die!!" |
"The best laid plans of Mice and Men often go awry."- From a poem...can't remember the name.
"A man is defined by his actions, not his memories."-That mutant from Total Recall "Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another."- Ernest Hemingway "Hemingway once said that the world is a fine place and worth the fighting for...I agree with the second part."-Morgan Freeman's character in Se7en I should look up the actual names of the people I'm quoting :/ |

Quote:
"I try not to let my schooling interfere with my education." - Mark Twain And in case Mr. Fu reads this: Why in the hell can't the army do it if the Marines can. They are the same kind of men; why can't they be like Marines? -General John J. Pershing, U.S. Army The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of Marines. Lord, how they could fight. - Major General Frank Lowe, U.S. Army I can never see a United States Marine without experiencing a feeling of reverence. - General Johnson, U.S. Army The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. - General Pershing, U.S. Army The more Marines I have around, the better I like it. - General Wesley Clark, U.S. Army I can't say enough about the two Marine divisions. If I use words like brilliant, it would really be an under-description of the absolutely superb job they did in breaching the so-called impenetrable barrier... Absolutely superb operation, a textbook, and I think it'll be studied for many, many years to come as the way to do it. - General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, USA, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 27 February 1991 We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on? -Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., USA, Chairman of the the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the assault on Grenada, 1983 |
