quotes are stupid, the best motivation comes from within. quotes are just something one guy said very well at one time, it's all a part of a greater mentality. how about that my favorite quote, one that I just think is funny, is from the book The Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, it says, "There was a message written in pencil on the tiles by the roller towel. This was it: What is the purpose of life? Trout plundered his pockets for a pen or pencil. He had an answer to the question. But he had nothing to write with, not even a burnt match. So he left the question unanswered, but here is what he would have written, if he had found anything to write with: To be the eyes and ears and conscience of the Creator of the Universe, you fool
Some quotes are perfectly capture an ideal mindset and an ideal mind set can take people places they wouldn't normally go.
"That's whatever you were talking about for ya" - Billy West no quote defines my life lol, its just a quote
"1492 The teachers told the children that this was when their continent was discovered by human beings. Actually, millions of human beings were already living full and imaginative lives on the continent in 1492. That was simply the year in which sea pirates began to cheat and rob and kill them. Here was another piece of evil nonsense which children were taught: that the sea pirates eventually created a government which became a beacon of freedom to human beings everywhere else. There were pictures and statues of this supposed imaginary beacon for children to see. It was sort of an ice-cream cone on fire. Actually, the sea pirates who had the most to do with the creation of the new government owned human slaves. They used human beings for machinery, and, even after slavery was eliminated, because it was so embarrassing, they and their descendants continued to think of ordinary human beings as machines. The sea pirates were white. The people who were already on the continent when the pirates arrived were copper-colored. When slavery was introduced onto the continent, the slaves were black. Color was everything." Kurt Vonnegut.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. -Edmund Burke Reminds me everyday to try and be a better man and do the right thing even if I dont want to. Maybe ill get it as a tat...hmm
"The truth is what happened. It aint what come out of somebody's mouth." ^I wouldn't say this quote determines my life in anyway, but I like it because 1) It's from my favourite author and book and 2) It paraphrases my agnostic mindset ie. I can't know what I don't know happened, I therefore remain as neutral as possible.
