The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. 
-Bertrand Russell

NEED TO WANT LESS

http://recoveringlazyholic.com/needtowant.html

You have your way. I have my way. As for


 the right way, the correct way, and the only 


way, it does not exist.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life...

"Though we live in trying times, we're the ones who have to try. Though we know that time has wings, we're the ones who have to fly." 
--Everyday Glory, RUSH

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown; don't let your greatness get you down."

Dear Mr Vernon, 

We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did was wrong, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms. The most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...

and an athlete...

and a basket case...

a princess...

and a criminal.

Does that answer your question?

Sincerely yours, 

The Breakfast Club. 

If someone calls themselves a child of God, 

yet still have the indecency to say something so hateful, 

they do not know the meaning of brother or sister.

We are all together, serving as God's children.

To go against any one of His children,

based on the colour of the skin God gave him, 

is to directly disrespect the work God has created.

To go against any one of His children, 

based on the colour of the skin God gave him, 

is to show your cowardice and the way you see society.

To go against any one of His children, 

based on the colour of the skin God gave him, 

is to confess that your morals are weak, and you are unable to stand.

Martin Luther King Jr., I and so many others...

We all have the same dream, and expect others to open their eyes, 

and succumb to the truth of the tragedy caused in the past, 

and the truth of the tragedy that still continues to this day...

We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round. 

--Jack Nicholson, The Bucket List

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us: it's in everyone. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." 

                                                                                                                              — Nelson Mandela

This is the kind of thing that happens to an Atheist philosopher...

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

—Nietzsche, The Gay Science

I'm sick and tired of hearing things

From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites

I've had enough of reading things

By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians

I'm sick to death of seeing things

From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists

I've had enough of watching scenes

Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas

All I want is the truth now

Just gimme some truth now

Everyone you know now, was once a stranger... 

By: Ross Gardiner

	Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
	I once prayed to god for a bike, but quickly found out he didnt work that way...so I stole a bike and prayed for his forgiveness.
	If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?
	Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.
	A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.
	You never learn anything by doing it right. Anyone who uses the phrase "easy as taking candy from a baby" has never tried taking candy from a baby. I am erotic. You are kinky. They are perverts. We protect. Our allies enforce. Our enemies oppress. Congress appropriates. Microsoft lobbies. Citizens steal. Delusions are often functional. A mother's opinions about her children's beauty, intelligence, goodness, et cetera ad nauseam, keep her from drowning them at birth. To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2wV0hT/www.witty-quotes.com/Clever-quotes
