"From thirty feet away she looked like a lot of class. From ten feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from thirty feet away."
Raymond Chandler - The High Window
I sincerely apologise for all the trouble I've caused.
I know I'm headed for the bottom, but I'm riding you all the way
Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay;
I'm martyr to a motion not my own;
What's freedom for? To know eternity.
I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.
But who would count eternity in days?
These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:
(I measure time by how a body sways).
Theodore Roethke - I knew a Woman
It ain't stalking it's just selective walking
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. - Hunter S. Thompson

Saying The Words We Mean To No One
A Esperanca é quando a dor presente nós faz tentar outra vez.

"65 quid, mate, and that's if we can get the parts in".
Off the top of my head:
"If the barking of a dog disturbs your meditation, it is simplest to shoot the dog, and think no more about it." - Aleister Crowley.
"I found everyone talking nervously and feverishly of the weather and the war in South Africa, except Reginald, who was reclining in a comfortable chair with the dreamy, far-away look that a volcano might wear just after it had desolated entire villages." - Saki.
"Sir, there is a distinct difference between having an open mind and having a hole in your head from which your brain leaks out." - James Randi.
"Let us understand what our own selfish genes are up to, because we may then at least have a chance to upset their designs, something that no other species has ever aspired to do." - Richard Dawkins.
An old gymnastics coach of mine once told me "Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about."
And to this day, I've stuck to that philosophy in varying degrees.
But then you realize that not all people believe in complete loyalty, and you end up a bitter, cynical cunt!

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When the Guinness Book Of Records are advocating protests against New Labour's erosion of Freedom Of Speech then in a weird way, I think everything is alright.
Mark Thomas @ The Stand last night talking about his world record.
...To begin the New Dawn you can't live for 'her', 'him', 'me' or I', only Us.
"Science, you see, is the optimum belief system: because we have the error bar, the greatest invention of mankind, a pictorial representation of the glorious undogmatic uncertainty in our results, which science is happy to confront and work with. Show me a politician's speech, or a religious text, or a news article, with an error bar next to it?" - Ben Goldacre

If I may be allowed a paragraph's worth of quoting, then:
"At every turn, they found the Big Lion in the way, to bring them back to reality. But the truth was too bitter medicine for them. If they had accepted the facts, they could have altered the facts; and learnt to do something worth while. But they preferred to cherish delusions of persecution. They persuaded themselves that they were being crucified when they were only having their faces washed."
-Aleister Crowley: "Diary of a Drug Fiend"
If not:
"Sucks for you, you motherfucking McBeef!"
-Cho Seung-Hui
"The idea had been growing in my brain for some time: True force. All the King's men cannot put it back together again"
-Taxi Driver
And the Nietzsche quote in my signature, obviously.
Amazing. I love Richard McBeef. Such a work.Originally Posted by Dario

Absolute comedy gold, no doubt about it. I'll never look at cereal bars the same way again.
Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call. - Sylvia Plath
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you. - Philip Larkin
I sent the club a wire stating, PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER.
Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy.
From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.
