GothicRavenGoddess (3) Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in 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.

the eternal Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 The hottest places in hell are reserved for those, who in times of great moral crises, maintain their neutrality. ---Dante Alighieri ______________________________________________ We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. ---------------------------------------------------------------- A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. --- BOTH Martin Luther King, Jr. ______________________________________________________ Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives. --John Stuart Mill ______________________________________________________ First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. --Pastor Martin Niemöller (in reference to his being sent to the concentration camps during the Holocaust) ___________________________________________ "When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid” ------------------------------------------------------------------ Your silence will not protect you. ---BOTH Audre Lorde ____________________________________________ Speak your mind -- even if your voice shakes. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Power should not be concentrated in the hands of so few, and powerlessness in the hands of so many. --BOTH Maggie Kuhn _______________________________________________________________________ "I say there is no darkness but ignorance." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven. ---BOTH William Shakespeare ___________________________________________________________________ Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter." ---ALL Mark twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the eternal Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have reserved a post just for HL Mencken quotes. "Don't overestimate the decency of the human race." ___________________________________ "Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time. " ___________________________________ "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. " ____________________________________ Before a man speaks it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks, it is seldom necessary to assume it. ______________________________________ "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." _____________________________________ A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven, brag about it to persons who will never get there. _____________________________________ It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office. _______________________________________ "War will never cease until babies begin to come into the world with larger cerebrums and smaller adrenal glands. " _______________________________________ "Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuZQZ Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. ~Douglas Adams Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. ~Edgar Allan Poe Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. ~Oscar Wilde Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. ~Albert Einstein Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one. ~Friedrich Nietzsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scales Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 "Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." -Sun Tzu - The Art of War I was actually gonna post that one.. you beat me to it. But I have more >.> “A warrior thinks of death when things become unclear. The idea of death is the only thing that tempers our spirit.” “Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.” “The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.” “Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.” “The only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die.” “A warrior takes responsibility for his acts, for the most trivial of acts. An average man acts out his thoughts, and never takes responsibility for what he does.” “Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.” All of them are Carlos Castaneda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bean Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 “Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.” __________________________________________________________ “I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.” - Socrates ___________________________________________________________ “It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well.” - Rene Descartes ___________________________________________________________ “He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still” - Lao Tzu ___________________________________________________________ “The best answer to anger is silence." ___________________________________________________________ “A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” - Walter Winchell ____________________________________________________________ “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” ........................................... “You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. - Dr. Suess (both quotes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
