"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." - Douglas Adams

Heh, I'll see that, and raise you this -

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Reinhold Niebuhr - "Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love."

... I deeply and fundamentally disagree, but I'd like to say "ta" for quoting that because I've never heard of him before :)

Also, randomly -

"It's beauty that's going to save the world, now."

Nick Cave, Nature Boy

"PEOPLE'S WHOLE LIVES DO PASS IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES BEFORE THEY DIE. THE PROCESS IS CALLED 'LIVING'."

ur dik is

:rolleyes: Aaand as usual, Pigggy ruins the mood entirely...

Some greek philosopher said, that out every community 1% is a total idiot. Blood-Piggy is probably in that minority ^^

So you're saying that over 65 million people are completely and utterly stupid?

You are right.

The area these people work in is called politics.

Stop whining about our lovely Blood Pigggy and post some quotes.

“You ever noticed how people who believe in Creationism look really unevolved? You ever noticed that? Eyes real close together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks like He rushed it.”

- Bill Hicks

"My belt holds up my pants and my pants have belt loops that hold up the belt. What the f*ck’s really goin' on down there? Who is the real hero?"

- Mitch Hedberg

guys you should maybe try imagining those 2 people chatting for real. it's awesome, can you imagene how their chat logs look for real?

“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”

“I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old.”

Stanley Kubrick

Zafo, I agree completely. That first quote sounds a lot like Monty Roberts :) ... My latest favourite: "Of all the things I've lost, it's my mind I miss the most." -- Ozzy Ozbourne

"They mostly come at night..... mostly...." - Newt

An that is one of the main reasons why learning processes often didn't quite work out as I planned. No stimulation, only grading and competition, of which I both just didn't see the point.

And to stay on-topic and elaborate on the subject of fear:

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.
Frank Herbert - Dune

One of my senior professors said this on Corporate Economics class: "This morning, an ugly old man came up to me on the street, and he explicitly wanted to tell me what he thinks about the nations's economic problems...that's when I started to feel sorry for you guys..."

Bessie Braddock: "Winston, you're drunk!
Churchill: "Bessie, you're ugly, and tomorrow morning I shall be sober."

Rick Moranis, Dark Helmet - "Evil will always triumph over good, because good is dumb."

"Reg: All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Attendee: Brought peace?
Reg: Oh, peace - shut up!"

Monty Phyton "Life of Brain" (1979)

that seems more like evil being dumb to me

its Evil supporting Evil at the expense of the plebs :amused:

Plato "The accumulation of wealth in private hands is what destroys timarchy. The men find ways to become extravagant, and for this reason pervert the law and disobey it."

While im at it one of my fav song lines (tissues at the ready)

"I don't want you to pledge your future, the future is not yours to give. Just stand there a little longer and let me watch while you live" - Don McLean

"I didn't expect anything and I'm still disappointed"

"Euthanasia, AKA mercy killing, is the act of killing someone to free them from their pain. An example of this is: A bus driver ran over someone and the driver saw that he was in pain, so he ran over him again." - Pugad Baboy

"Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists is that none of it has tried to contact us."
-Calvin and Hobbes

Dark Helmet - "Ahhh... you have the ring, and i see your shwartz is as big as mine. Let's see how well you handle it :lightsaber:

Ah I've finally found one of my favorite Discworld quotes (or passage, if you like):

Jeremy always liked the moment when he had a clock in pieces, with every wheel and spring carefully laid out on the black velvet cloth in front of him. It was like looking at Time, dismantled, controllable, every part of it understood...
He wished his life was like that. It would be nice to reduce it to bits, spread them all out on the tavle, clean and oil them properly and put them together so that they coiled and spun as they ought to. But sometimes it seemed that the life of Jeremy had been assambled by a not very competent craftsman, who had allowed a numbet of small but important things to go ping into the corners of the room.

Terry Pratchett - Thief Of Time (also my favorite book of the series so far)

Weasel words are the words of the powerful and the treacherous and the unfaithful, spies, assassins and thieves. Bureaucrats and ideologues love them. Tyrants cannot do without them. The Newspeak of George Orwells 1984 is an invention, but also a satire on real states such as the Soviet Union where death from starvation and abuse in slave camps was recorded by officials as "failure of the heart muscle" Were any five words ever more melancholy than this?".....Don Watson (author of Weasel words and Death watch):(

Sorry for bringing back this old topic to life, but I just read the funniest thing...
