    "Submission, when used in the form of compromise to gain interests or prevent loss, is cowardice; but when given on one's initiative, and out of one's own will, is power."

    "So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change thier situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit than a secure future. The very basic core of a person's living spirit is his pasion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

    ~Christopher J. McCandless

    The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.

    noted these down recently off a couple posts in the MT forum. pertinent to the subject being discussed, and just wise words all around. see you can learn a thing or two on MT. ;)




    I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
    ~ Voltaire


    If we don't believe in free expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
    ~ Noam Chomsky


    ..if a believer demands that I, as a nonbeliever, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect, but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.
    ~ Flemming Rose

    "No man is worth your tears, and the one who is won't make you cry"
    If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.

    Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning. - George Carlin
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    i am sure i may've posted some, if not all, of these before....but lost in pages and pages here. just really thinking of the wisdom and thought in these words, and wanted to share again...


    Hope is a waking dream.
    ~ Aristotle


    Go comfortably in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.
    ~ Henry David Thoreau


    Hope is the dream of a soul awake.

    without me, it's just aweso.

    "Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet" (Roger Miller).

    "Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try" (Homer Simpson).

    "I'm not drunk, I'm just a little not sober" (Rocko from Undergrads).
    Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

    Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.

    You will not grow if you sit
    in a beautiful flower garden,
    but you will grow if you are sick,
    in pain, experience losses,
    and if you do not put your head in the sand,
    but take the pain and learn to accept it,
    not as a curse or punishment
    but as a gift to you
    with a very, very specific purpose.
    ~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

    'It doesn't depend upon where you are in time, but rather how your own being is. It can't change by setting, it must change by one's own will.'

    If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just
    have to be a horrible warning.
    -Catherine-

    I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes
    because I know I'm not dumb -- and I'm also not blonde.

    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

    A good laugh is sunshine in a house.
    ~ William Makepeace Thackeray


    In every moment, the quality of your life is on the line. In each, you are either fully alive or relatively dead.
    ~ Dan Millman


    Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I've got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to the future generations.
