(maybe not so deep as the other in this therad, but...)

"A human being is a spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self? The self is a relation that relates itself to itself or is the relation relating itself to itself in the relation. " - Paulo Coelho

"everybody needs to find a wrong way trough life"

"Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive"

"everything is a reflection of something else"

*Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about*

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

"why are you wearing that stupid bunnysuit?" "why are you wearing that stupid mansuit?
(Donnie Darko)

Now where am I going to go when I'm looking for some inspirtation?

Anonymous4674 · 01-31-2010, 07:36 PM

Know who you are.
Know who has the burden of proof.
Never Argue.
Know how to cross-examine.
Know that the state is a motherfucking, nut-sucking, ball washing, money machine. Expect no truth from the state...

I am surprised no one has posted this one:

Genesis 1:28-29 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

If God gives the herb, who the Fu*k is the man taking it away?

"Dogma is the sacrifice of wisdom to consistency.", Lewis Perelman

"All is reflection", ۩

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.", Albert Einstein

"Men are not disturbed by things, but the view they take of things.", Epictetus

I don't know if these are inspirational per se, but they are some pretty cool quotes that fit into my "reality tunnel". Much Love!

Just a few from Abigail Adams, a badass bitch in my book.

"Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors."

"Great necessities call out great virtues."

“I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic.”

This is one of my personal favorites:

“Well, knowledge is a fine thing, and mother Eve thought so; but she smarted so severely for hers, that most of her daughters have been afraid of it since. ”

Amen to that Willio. I didn't know the quote, but that is essentially what I told the reporter who came to cover Fred Phelps protesting the Unitarian Universalist Church I used to go to.

Apparently we'd done too 'Fag Enabling'....

I said,''I take it that we're doing really good works if we've become noticeable enough to draw this very busy man's valuable time.''

Made me think of that... didn't know that JC said it first.

yeah he was referring to the Ku Klux Klan not liking him for whatever reason. can't remember.

"I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the minds door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends."
-Didion

I love Robert Anton Wilson!

I used to have the following Discordian memes on my facebook page under favourite quotes, before I deleted my facebook that is.

Quote:

A belief is just a thought you keep having

A conclusion is simply where you stopped thinking

A black sheep is still a sheep

Be your own fucking messiah

Mostly aimed at the excessive amount of "individual" scene kids, Apple worshipping tech geeks and outspoken politikos that found their way onto my friends list.

I could quote Discordian meme bombs all day, as they all range from hilarious to brilliant.

Two more favourites are...

"Secure your future: Declare yourself Jesus while masturbating in public."

"There is nothing to worry about, ever, really!"
