    "The Beautiful People, The Beautiful People,
    It's all relative to the size of your steeple,
    You can't see the forest for the trees,
    you can't smell your own shit on your knees

    Hey you, what do you see?
    Something beautiful, something free?
    Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
    If you live with apes, man, its hard to be clean"
    ~ Marilyn Manson (a.k.a. Brian Warner)
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    Some quotes from Liverpool football club managers Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley...


    (To a Liverpool trainee) "The problem with you, son, is that all your brains are in your head."
    Bill Shankly

    (After beating Everton in the '71 FA Cup semi-final) "Sickness would not have kept me away from this one. If I'd been dead, I would have had them bring the casket to the ground, prop it up in the stands and cut a hole in the lid."
    Bill Shankly

    "If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later."
    Bob Paisley

    "Mind you, I've been here during the bad times too - one year we came second."
    Bob Paisley

    (At Dixie Dean's funeral) "I know this is a sad occasion but I think that Dixie would be amazed to know that even in death he could draw a bigger crowd than Everton can on a Saturday Afternoon."
    Bill Shankly

    Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
    I'm exposed
    And it's no big surprise
    Don't you think I know
    Exactly where I stand
    This world is forcing me
    To hold your hand

    'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
    Don't let me out of your sight
    I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
    So don't let me have any rights
    Oh ... I've had it up to here!

    The moment that I step outside
    So many reasons
    For me to run and hide
    I can't do the little things
    I hold so dear
    'Cause it's all those little things
    That I fear

    'Cause I'm just a girl
    I'd rather not be
    'Cause they won't let me drive
    Late at night
    I'm just a girl

    Guess I'm some kind of freak
    'Cause they all sit and stare
    With their eyes
    I'm just a girl
    Take a good look at me
    Just your typical prototype
    Oh... I've had it up to here I
    Oh... am I making myself clear?

    I'm just a girl
    I'm just a girl
    In the world...
    That's all that you'll let me be!

    I'm just a girl, living in captivity
    Your rule of thumb
    Makes me worry some
    I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
    What I've succumbed to
    Is making me numb
    I'm just a girl ... my apologies
    What I've become is so burdensome
    I'm just a girl, lucky me
    Twiddle-dum there's no comparison

    Oh...I've had it up to!
    Oh...I've had it up to!
    Oh...I've had it up to here

    nothing strengthens authority so much as silence
    -leonardo da vinci

    This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.
    -john steinbeck

    do not be too moral. you might cheat yourself out of much life. aim high above morality. be not simply good; be good for something.
    -thoreau


    and my favorite, not political, just a great one:

    once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with you eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
    -da vinci

    Possession


    Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
    voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
    the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
    would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?


    and I would be the one
    to hold you down
    kiss you so hard
    I'll take your breath away
    and after, I'd wipe away the tears
    just close your eyes dear


    Through this world I've stumbled
    so many times betrayed
    trying to find an honest word to find
    the truth enslaved

    oh you speak to me in riddles
    and you speak to me in rhymes
    my body aches to breathe your breath
    your words keep me alive


    And I would be the one
    to hold you down
    kiss you so hard
    I'll take your breath away
    and after, I'd wipe away the tears
    just close your eyes dear


    Into this night I wander
    it's morning that I dread
    another day of knowing of
    the path I fear to tread

    oh into the sea of waking dreams
    I follow without pride
    nothing stands between us here
    and I won't be denied


    and I would be the one
    to hold you down
    kiss you so hard
    I'll take your breath away
    and after, I'd wipe away the tears
    just close your eyes...

    I can't promise anything:D

    I love Sarah and I don't think it's a big deal to post her lyrics in the is thread. Certainly, there are other lyrics...by other artists in this thread.

    "Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

    Think for yourself.
    Question authority. "
