I have a thing for quotes.
"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist." - Friedrich Nietzche.
"You are not there. Somewhere in the future, suffering from something that hasn't happened yet. You are not there, in a place where all your worries manifest. You are not there. Somewhere in the past, reliving your old mistakes and regrets. You are not there, in a place where memories ressurect. You are here, right here." - (I'm not sure who said this, but it's rad).
"This is how it works. You're young until you're not. You love until you don't. You try until you can't. You laugh until you cry. You cry until you laugh. And everyone must breathe, until their dying breath." - Regina Spektor.
"In eras past, mainstream culture was blandly complacent, so underground music was angry and dissatisfied. But now, mainstream culture isn't complacent, it's stupid and angry; underground culture reacts by becoming smarter, more serene. That's not wimpy--it's powerful and productive." - Michael Azerrad.
"So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all." - Roland of Gilead (Wizard and Glass by Stephen King).
"If we believe in absurdities, we shall commit atrocities." - Voltaire.
It just makes me think... if someone is always going to say what you're saying better, why speak at all?
I rather enjoyed the Michael Azerrad quote you have there. I have a quote myself that I am fond of: “I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” - Stephen Roberts.
ReplyDeleteI love that.
