What are your fave quotes?
Mine are...
Gandhi:
"I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love."
"In doing something, do it with love or never do it at all"
"An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind"
"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win."
"Where there is love there is life."
Jesus:
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
"What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul."
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."
"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks."
Buddha:
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become."
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

"We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves."
Marilyn Manson:
"We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves."
I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society."
"I never said to be like me, I say to be like you and make a difference."
"Is adult entertainment killing our children? or is killing our children entertaining our adults?"
"People tend to associate anyone who looks and behaves differently with illegal or immoral activity."
"Anybody intelligent enough to realize what America is, is not going to sit around and do nothing about it. They're going to be the same way that I am. They're going to be the same way our fans are. They're going to be pissed."
"I think art is the only thing that's spirtual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means."
The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they're supposed to like, what they're supposed to buy, and what they're supposed to laugh at."
"In the end we're all Jerry Springer Show guests, really, we just haven't been on the show."
"Art opens minds, fascism closes them."
"Everything you do is part of a plane plummeting towards our pitiful, dying earth. But your art, what you create is stepping onto the burning wing and forgetting silly things like life and death for a moment. Just to enjoy for one second a glimpse of beauty before you are reduced to ashes."
"The record is about seeing death and growing from it, and in the end, being strong and being alive."
"There's days when I'd love for everybody to realize that things have gone too far, and that we need to be born again so that we can appreciate the little things....then there's other days when I think the world deserves to be destroyed. Why should I help anybody? Everybodys stepped on me my whole life. I've put on this crown....but I'm not sure if I want it."
"To kill the universe... it takes only one bullet... "
"I don't know if anyone has really understood what we're trying to do. This isn't just about shock value...that's just to lure the people in. Once we've got them we can give them our message."
Friedrich Nietzsche-
"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."
"I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time."

"All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking"
"He who cannot lie does not know what the truth is"
"Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil."
"Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!"
"Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler."
"Out of damp and gloomy days, out of solitude, out of loveless words directed at us, conclusions grow up in us like fungus: one morning they are there, we know not how, and they gaze upon us, morose and gray. Woe to the thinker who is not the gardener but only the soil of the plants that grow in him."
"To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity."
"Great intellects are skeptical" |

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend."

Life... is like a box of chocolates.
A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
-The Cigarette Smoking Man, known affectionately as The Cancer Man, from the X-files. |

| If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you. |

It is not a quote, but a passage from the Gospels of Thomas (Gnostic)
An unnamed man once asked Jesus: "How do we find eternal peace in the Kingdom of Heaven, how do we find salvation?"
Jesus wept.
The man asked Jesus "Why do you weep"?
Jesus said nothing
The man asked Jesus again "Why is it that you weep"?
Jesus said "I weep because Man shall never find Heaven, he knows not where to look, for Heaven is right here on Earth
Note:
One of the main reasons that I love this passage so much is because it clearly demonstrates the Hindu/Buddhist philosophy in his message. This is one of the great hoaxes that has been perpetrated on Mankind. The fact that from the ages of 17 to his mid 30's Jesus travelled to the Far East to study under Hindu Masters. There are more Hindu writings on Jesus Christ, the man, than there are Christian ones. You won't hear this information from Father Sneakafeel during his Sunday services. |

I have committed the worst sin of all that a man can commit. I have not been
happy. May the glaciers of oblivion drag me and mercilessly let me fall.

"Voting machines getting hacked means the next president will be chosen by some teenager in Finland instead of deep-pocket, autofellating, corporate shitbags. How is that not an improvement?"
-Scott Adams
"Whenever cannibals are on the brink of starvation, Heaven, in its infinite mercy, sends them a fat missionary."
-Oscar Wilde
When politicians start citing God as the authority for whatever they want to do, they are usually promoting some policy that defies human reason.
-Susan Jacoby
"Capital letters are always the best way of dealing with things you don't have a good answer to." - douglas adams |

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars - or stars where no human race is
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.
