    A few from Churchill. What a brilliant, wise, hilarious and self-deprecating man.

    So much of this is applicable in our times, too.


    The length of this document defends it well against the risk of its being read.

    Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.

    I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. :mrgreen:

    The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.

    If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.

    Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity.
    Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
    Desperate to control all and everything.
    Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

    Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down.
    Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end.
    Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down.
    Terrified of being wrong.

    Ultimatum prison cell.

    Saturn ascends, choose one or ten.

    Hang on or be humbled again.

    - Maynard James Keenan

    Mitch! Love the fuck outta this dude.

    I was walking down the street with my friend and he said, "I hear music", as if there is any other way you can take it in. You're not special, that's how I receive it too. I tried to taste it but it did not work.

    Me too, grandma. Me too!

    I loved this film (Parenthood - even though I'm not a parent - but I am a daughter).

    The quote, which is so much better seen than read, reminds me of Jeff in Single Video Theory - to paraphrase, "not what to feel, but just to feel".

    If only more people understood what Johnny understood... that you can have very differing political opinions and stick to them. It does not mean that people with differing political views are 'the enemy', 'hate America', 'want to destroy America' and you 'should not come to compromises with'. They are simply, Americans with a diferent political view point than yours. We are all still... Americans.
    P.S. You can visit Johnny's grave site in Los Angeles and say, 'Hello'.

    I like that, Cosmo. Kinda reminds me of this one, from Thirtysomething:

    Marjorie Warren: You see, there are two kinds of boys in high school. There are the good-looking ones, the ones on every team, the ones everyone wants. They're the greatest dancers too. And then there are the others... the boys who look as if they'd always rather be somewhere else reading a book, who are shy and awkward. I think you'd call them 'nerds' now. Those are the boys to marry, Ellyn. Those are the boys who tell you secrets, who hold you when you cry in the middle of the night, who want to grow old with you.

    Ellyn Warren: How do you know about this, Mom?

    Marjorie Warren: Because... I married a great dancer.

    Hollywood Forever Cemetary in Hollywood. Next time you are in L.A., check it out.
    And yeah... that's Eddie.
    Check out 'Too Tough To Die' (DVD 2006), a Johnny Ramone Tribute. Eddie sings, 'Sheena...' with Tim Armstrong and Brett Gurewitz from Bad Religion. The footage of the memorial is on th end of the video.

    "Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either."

    It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.

    Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.

    No man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it.

    - Thomas Jefferson
