Quote of the Day

[Dugbet]

"Someone may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it."

Steve Prefontaine

 

[ripriot]

“Time is not measured
by the years that you live
But by the deeds that you do
and the joy that you give-
And each day as it comes
brings a chance to each one
To love to the fullest,
leaving nothing undone
That would brighten the life
or lighten the load
Of some weary traveler
lost on Life's Road-
So what does it matter
how long we may live
If as long as we live
we unselfishly give.”​

― Helen Steiner Rice​

“Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”

‘I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.’ - General Mattis

"We may never understand how the stranger is inspired, but he is not always evil and he is not always wrong."
"I don't care what you say anymore this is my life, go ahead with your own life, leave me alone."
"You can speak your mind, but not on my time."

All Billy Joel

Mr. Smith: "Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something, for more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is, do you even know? Is it freedom, or truth, perhaps peace, could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose! And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself although... Only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it Mr. Anderson, you must know it by now. You can't win, it's pointless to keep fighting! Why, Mr. Anderson, why? Why do you persist?"

Mr. Anderson: "Because I choose to."

- from The Matrix, the character "Neo" (Mr. Anderson) on choosing between love (meaning and purpose) and nihilism

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.

Excellent! Our government is big enough to take away everything an entire country has, let alone a single individual. Been that way since sanctions became one of our most powerful weapons.

It is better to be late and shit at home then be on time and shit your pants.

"Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world - he was thrown down to the Earth. And his angels were thrown down with him.

And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, 'Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

Rejoice then, O heaven and you that dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because for he knows his time is short!'"

- Revelations allegorical representation of our temporary struggle between good ("Michael and his angels") and our evils ("the Devil and his angels")
