you know there is nothing to win
and nothing to lose.
From fixtures and forces and friends your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you making you feel
That you gotta be just like them

It's from To Ramona. I love that song, and much of his writing from that era.
Probably a case of:

Yes, that's indeed the quote I was thinking of.

That's a good one. I also like -

Just give me some tenderness
Beneath your honesty"

Then please allow me to hoist a glass and steal that and toast to Frankie Miller, a tough old Golden-Throated Scot if there ever was one.

Another nicely done quote from Hollywood:
Quote:
"I don't lie. I don't lie. My name is ... . I'm a journalist. I used to be, till I saw the light. That trying to speak the truth is a waste of time because nobody wants the truth. People don't want the truth. God forbid it would all go down in flames. It's the lies that keep the construct going. Don't you see? Spread by the vested interests in the government, and the private sector, and the churches, and the stock exchanges, all fabricating and spinning and telling stories that keep 300 million consumers happy and stupid and spending. Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy? Just stop. I'm not the deluded ones. You are." (c)The Event

If a problem has no solution, why bother?, and if it does, why bother?


Another one I love is Invictus

Nope. From my all-time favorite movie, The Chronicles of Riddick by "Toombs".

and from another 'ok' movie, Pitch Black...

Johns: Battlefield doctors decide who lives and dies. It's called 'triage'.
Riddick: They kept calling it 'murder' when I did it.

Does that order of preference have anything to do with Hot and Evil Thandie Newton vs/ boring Girl-Next-Door Radha Mitchell? ;)

Maybe. :p

Thandie was smokin' hot in TCoR
Radha had "balls" in PB, tough cookie, but not "hot".

Now, where's "Helga Svelgen"?

Let's try to stay on topic :doh:

Ever since I read the following quote from this post,
my life changed - I started feeling less guilty about
my past.

Quote:
Good judgment comes from experience;
experience comes from bad judgment.
-- Mark Twain
