OK, let's have a "Quotes" thread!

Just found the perfect quote;

“I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul”

Can't pray to new gods, that would be Evolution; what about those stories were you have to take money to the undertakers before getting on...

Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life. Even if people have betrayed me, even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood or judged me, I have learned from these incidents. We are human and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the difference. Amisha Patel

“Brown shirts hide under many yellow vests”
(Florian Bachelier)

I am always sorry, and will always be. Ashamed and sad and touched and emotionally ... tattered (?). But NEVER will I mingle with an unleashed horde of whatever kind of egoistic, jealous, hypocrite imposters. Thus, I will never mingle with Mr. Bachelier, either, nor his beloved president or any of the useless in power. He has spoken true, however.

well said - if i may rip this out of context.

I pay way too little attention to what's happening in France atm - it's being held by other tragicomedies.
it seems world politics nowadays (*) is some sort of "Drunken Clowns with Explosives" contest.
not funny.

(*) and don't tell me "it always was" - it has gotten worse since 2016.

I do not know enough (that's “know” like in knowledge) even to be biased (in opinion and believes). But we are, in terms of months, weeks, years, currently closer to a thermonuclear war than to extinction by blind confidence in technology (i.e. death by destroying life in any other way).

A "Drunken Clowns with Explosives" contest, it is. Add the French religion « we cannot do anything » and if we could, « noone would let us »; that's all you need to know.

It is the 15th of the month. I have to switch basins in my domestic wet-park. You know. *I CAN* clear my waste water better than the 70% of a (new, fully functional) wastewater treatment plant. We use 2kWh by day and do live with an amount of money that those idiots would not consider .... - would not consider anyway. Thus, I do not exist. How could I take part in their quarrels? Not existing, as I am.

“Fashion heroes of WWII”

I often find the under-titles on engrish.com just as good or better than the actual “Engrish”.

Richard Stallman: "Only socialism can make capitalism stable and keep it democratic."

^ surprisingly, I agree with this; at least to the extent where it means "Social Market Economy" - always striving for a perfect balance between social and market values.
where exactly that balance lies, that's where political parties draw their boundaries and heated discussions take place.

Thanks for adding that! I got it from another forum somewhere (and somewhen) or other.

Quotes from TV:

Cheiron: "The undead can only be defeated by their own. Such weapons are not easy to come by." Cheiron: "Sometimes it's the teacher who learns the lesson."

I'd like to quote something Laurie Anderson said in one of her "songs".
Maybe it's easier if you just listen to it.

"A God who could make good children as easily a bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave is angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice, and invented hell, mouths mercy, and invented hell, mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people, and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites his poor abused soul to worship him!" --Mark Twain
