while me and some friends we're tripping shrooms: *silence* "Ok guys... where are the cameras?!" -Richard (he was friggin' out)
Just about anything from HERE, like, "[SIZE=+1]It is better to copulate than never. " --Lazarus Long [/SIZE]
Oh, totally forgot one of my favorites: "Look down at me and you see a fool. Look up at me and you see a God. Look straight at me and you see yourself" ~Charles Manson
This is probably a really stupid question that I'm going to regret asking but who exactly is Lazarus Long?
A character in a Robert Heinlein novel, Time Enough for Love. He's the oldest man in the Universe....
Interesting. I've never heard of the novel. Quick plot summary (If you've got nothing else to do..)??? Just remembered another favorite of mine. Except Kanye West stole it and then killed it with poor effects and bad lyrics. "That which does not kill me makes me stronger" ~Friedrich Nietzsche~

"All art is quite useless." -Oscar Wilde "I said to Life, I would hear Death speak. And Life raised her voice a little higher and said, you hear him now." -Khalil Gibran "If society wants me to be an outlaw, then I'll be an outlaw and a damned good one. That's something people need. People at all times need outlaws." -Ken Kesey
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." --Buddha "The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, belief, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on." --Chuck Palahniuk
"I am Adam, prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull. This is Cringer, my fearless friend. Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said, "By the power of Grayskull... I have the power!" Cringer became the mighty Battlecat and I became He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. Only three others share this secret: our friends the Sorceress, Man-at-Arms and Orko. Together we defend Castle Grayskull from the evil forces of Skeletor." By He-Man

"Art accomplishes the creation of something orderly & meaningful out of the raw materials of an essentially random world. It is the human ability to make a small version of an ordered universe. Good art makes us see everything more clearly. It heightens, delights and sends us home from the world with knowledge we didn't have before." --Anne Rice
You rock. Heinlein is my favorite author, I've read every one of his books. Here's my favorite quote. I have it up on my office wall. And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" - The Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I am about to -- or I am going to -- die: either expression is correct. ~~ Dominique Bouhours, French grammarian, d. 1702
"Between the iron gates of fate, The seeds of time were sown, And watered by the deeds of those Who know and who are known; Knowledge is a deadly friend When no one sets the rules. The fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools." - King Crimson
