Fairly basic idea, but often turns up some thought provoking food for
thought. post your favorite quotes, from your friends, faimly, movies,
literature or from this site.
some starters:
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of
ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that
we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction,
have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of
dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and
of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the
revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new
dark age. "
-H.P. Lovecraft
"No matter how much you think you love somebody, you'll step back when the
pool of their blood edges too close"
- Chuck Palahniuk
"Talk is cheap"
- Anonymous (as far as i know)

So I couldn't remember how one of my favorite George Carlin quotes went
exactly so I started looking them up. I thought this one was great and made
a lot of sense. It wasn't the one I was looking for, but it works well.
“If God had intended us not to masturbate he would've made our arms
shorter”
George Carlin

buck 65 - the floor (spoken word f. piano)
I can remember being seven years old
Having goldfish that circuled around in a bowl
I would watch the forest burn
and listen to the wind blow
I remember the table, the drapes, and the window
The dark brown everything: decoration, styling
Most of all, I can remember my mother smiling
Worn out and faded, my hometown was scrappy
More than anything she wanted us to be happy
Little to eat and back and forth to the hospital
She was right, it's better to be happy if possible
But the old man was under attack and was weak
And continued to beat us several times a week
He lived like a king even though we were piss poor
I tried to be strong and careful what I wished for
My outside ached, my inside stung
The long leather belt had replaced his tongue
Not knowing how to run or how
to hit the brakes
A white picket fence was built
around a pit of snakes
Both a wonder and frightening,
the thunder and the lightning
These were the sounds and sights
of a thousand fights
My mother, the poor fish, staging eternal
Charades and parades, for the raging inferno
Wanting to be happy, beaten all the while
Asking me always: "Why don't you ever smile?"
And she'd show me how to do it,
mother and wife
It was the saddest smile I ever saw in my life
It hurt worse than death but for her sake I tried
And one day all of those goldfish died
Hurricane, forest fire, out of control
Eyes open, floating on the water in the bowl
And when my father came home,
he walked through the door
And threw those fish to the cat
on the kitchen floor
And the wind died too and I was still a child
And the three of us watched as my mother smiled.
very bizarre, but very touching in and un-nerving kind of way.

Watching that man try and figure out what is right and what is wrong is
like watching a kid with downsyndrome try to masturbate with a monkey
wrench.
I'll let you guys imagine what might have been happening when i tossed this
one out.
I still get the most delicious flack for it.

My favorite personally generated quote:
My ass is sore too, but at least I came by it honest.
I don't know why, but everyone else at the dinner table blushed.
