Favorite saying

• ""For all my life, I missed my lover, I wanted my lover, I wanted to be near my lover. But the way my lover open and closed my legs, the way my lover folded and unfolded me into my lovers breast, my lover knows how to love me. But things kept getting in the way of my lover and I could not be with my lover..." Thou Wast Mild and Lovely "... I kept asking why our world seemed to be collapsing and things seemed to be getting so shitty. And he'd say, "That's the way it goes, but don't forget, it goes the other way too." That's the way romance is... Usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too." True Romance "I'm just saying, you only get one life. There's no God, no rules, no judgements - except for those you accept or create for yourself. Now once it's over, it's over - dreamless sleep forever and ever. So why not be happy while you're here.. really, why not?" Six Feet Under "If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose" Charles Bukowski “If I had more time I would have written a shorter letter.” Mark Twain "Guido: Have you ever been outside Reno, Ms. Taber? Roslyn: Once I walked to the edge of town; doesn't look like there's much out there. Gay: Everything's there! Roslyn: Like what? Gay: The country! Roslyn: Well, what do you do with yourself? Gay: Just live." The Misfits "Honey, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dyin's as natural as livin'. The man who's too afraid to die is too afraid to live." The Misfits "Darling, we've been through this.. so if you wanna follow me, you should know, I was lost then and I'm lost now, and I doubt I'll ever know which way to go." "Living life quietly behind closed doors, like everyone does. It's just as well, these are the things that can't be shared." Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.." “Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.” Confucius “Never take a person's dignity: it is worth everything to them, and nothing to you.” Frank Barron "Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty... Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words." Rainer Maria Rilke "A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship." Rainer Maria Rilke “Is civilization only a higher form of idolatry, that man should bow down to a flesh-brush, to flannels, to baths, diet, exercise, and air?” Mary Baker Eddy "I predict in the near future right-wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus." Tom the priest | Drugstore Cowboy “Here is my final point. About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography and smoking and everything else. What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, say, think, who I fuck, what I take into my body - as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet?” Bill Hicks "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 are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather." Bill Hicks "The supreme arrogance of religious thinking: that a carbon-based bag of mostly water on a speck of iron-silicate dust around a boring dwarf star in a minor galaxy in an underpopulated local group of galaxies in an unfashionable suburb of a supercluster would look up at the sky and declare, 'It was all made so that I could exist!'" Peter Walker "The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least." Unknown “One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore.” Charles Cooley "Who are you whom I so faintly hear? Who urge me ever on? What voice is this that speaks within me... guides me towards the best? We shall make a new start. A fresh beginning. Here the blessings of the earth are bestowed upon all. None need grow poor. Here there is good ground for all, and no cost but one's labor. We shall build a true common wealth, hard work and self reliance our virtues. We shall have no landlords to reack us with high rents or extort the fruit of our labor." “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” Hendrix "My father taught me one thing... how to fire a gun. I don't bother... this is survival for fun." Sage Francis "We will be together like water.. till I can't tell you from me.." The Thin Red Line"
