"Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals." - Oscar Wilde "When there is freedom from mechanical conditioning, there is simplicity. The classical man is just a bundle of routine, ideas and tradition. If you follow the classical pattern, you are understanding the routine, the tradition, the shadow - you are not understanding yourself." - Bruce Lee "Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back." - Heraclitus "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." - Mark Twain "Fortes fortuna adiuvat." Fortune favors the brave. “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Gandhi “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” - Nelson Mandela “This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him.” - William Lyon Phelps "You cannot ever hope to pay back the people who helped you when you were starting out, so instead you pay forward, and try to lend a hand to the ones who come up after you." "What a difference there is between two kinds of actions – an act whose pleasure passes away but its ill consequence remains; and an act whose hardship passes away but its reward stays." - Ali ibn Abi Talib "Waiting is a sin. Moments are meant to be experienced; waiting is a sin against both the time that is still to come, and against the moments one is currently disregarding." Niel Gaiman – Neverwhere "Good is good even if no one is doing it. Bad is bad even if everyone is doing it." “Chance favors the prepared mind.” amended from the original quote: “In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.” - Louis Pasteur "We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training." - Archilochus, Greek Soldier, Poet "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." – Calvin Coolidge "The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions." – Confucius “In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.” - Albert Camus “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I figured if I'm goin down, ima get a double cheeseburger first - A criminal on Dog the Bounty Hunter

This was said by Bill Hicks on a radio show.. "Always that same LSD story, you've all seen it. 'Young man on acid, thought he could fly, jumped out of a building. What a tragedy.' What a dick! Fuck him, he’s an idiot. If he thought he could fly, why didn’t he take off on the ground first? Check it out. You don’t see ducks lined up to catch elevators to fly south—they fly from the ground, ya moron, quit ruining it for everybody. He’s a moron, he’s dead—good, we lost a moron, fuckin’ celebrate. Wow, I just felt the world get lighter. We lost a moron! I don’t mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am, so that’s the way it comes out. Professional help is being sought. How about a positive LSD story? Wouldn't that be news-worthy, just the once? To base your decision on information rather than scare tactics and superstition and lies? I think it would be news-worthy. 'Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we're the imagination of ourselves' . . . 'Here's Tom with the weather.'"
By the time you get this message, I'll be in the dead zone. It came a little sooner than we thought, but this means you won't be able to send a message back. So, I just wanted to let you know that I don't need the message because I know everything you wanna say. Just remember it takes eight minutes for light to travel from sun to Earth, which means you'll know we succeeded about eight minutes after we deliver the payload. All you have to is look out for a little extra brightness in the sky. So if you wake up one morning and it's a particularly beautiful day, you'll know we made it. Okay, I'm signing out and I'll see you in a couple years. Only dream I ever have... is it the surface of the sun... Every time I shut my eyes... it's always the same...
