- Adam Savage

Jet Li: "When you learn something, always use the heart."

Chuck Norris: "Violence is my last option."

Morpheus (Matrix movie): "What is 'real'? How do you define 'real'? If 'real' is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."



The following quotes are anonymous, that is either I made them up (and hope no one else used them) or forgot where I got them:

"If you would like to have an overall view on an n-dimensional object, you must first place yourself in an (n+1)-dimensional space."

"When you are taught something inline with the beliefs of society, it is called education. When you are taught something that outside of accepted ideology, it is called brainwashing. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?"

My current signature: "To live is to enjoy, to love others, to help, to be independent and free, to think deeply, to appreciate all the things we have been given, to know that we are not here to possess anything but to give back the respect for our gifts."

"When you are taught something inline with the beliefs of society, it is called education. When you are taught something that outside of accepted ideology, it is called brainwashing. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?"

Ahem: "inline with the beliefs of society" vs. "outside of accepted ideology".

That would be it.

Ahem: "inline with the beliefs of society" vs. "outside of accepted ideology".

That would be it.

That was the trick in the quote. It doesn't matter what you know, it matters what others want you to know

True glory exists in doing what deserves to be written, in writing what deserves to be read.

From H.L. Mencken, just to let u know that politics was the same back then too:

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

* Baltimore Sun (26 July 1920)

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line. The objection to it is not that it is predominantly painful, but that it is lacking in sense.

Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.

We are here and it is now: further than that, all human knowledge is moonshine.

Human life is basically a comedy. Even its tragedies often seem comic to the spectator, and not infrequently they actually have comic touches to the victim. Happiness probably consists largely in the capacity to detect and relish them. A man who can laugh, if only at himself, is never really miserable.

[Muszka]

I was wondering about this Bobby Kennedy quote as my next one...

Like it or not, we live in interesting times...

[Muszka]

Those times are over pal... these are hard times... and I bet that we don't like it...

[Muszka]

Solitude is the worst of all, and solitude is the child the apathy, and there is nothing more common than apathy

[Kalah]

Not exactly Martin Luther the King, is it...?

[Muszka]

No way.

A romantic one from Hellboy:
(Right after Hellboy resurrects Liz)

Liz: In the dark... I heard your voice...., what did you say?
Hellboy: I said..., "Hey, you, on the other side... let her go. Because for her... for her I will cross over..., and then you won't thank that!"

(I altered it a bit, because it sounded better on my language)

[Muszka]

Remembered this a few days ago:

Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough, to suit some people

It was one of my favorites.

EDIT: just found out that it's from Kin Hubbard

[Kalah]

The grammar nazi says: Muszka's current signature is faulty grammar.

Hey Kalah, shouldn't that be Martin Luther King?
