the quote thread

following the Joe McCarthy theme briefly... here's a quote.

Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator. You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

[Jonmisc]

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and
hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series
of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

[Ciararavenblaze]

my history class is providing me with some good quotes, it seems. to wit:

About the capitalist states, it doesn’t depend on you whether we exist. If you don’t like us, don’t accept our invitations, and don’t invite us to come see you. Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you.

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already
tomorrow in Australia."
-- Charles Schultz

[Ciararavenblaze]

our fathers were our models for God--if our fathers left us, what does that tell you about God?

[Jonmisc]

The problems in the world today cannot be solved with the level of thinking that created them.

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
--Galatians 2:20 (This was Henry's favorite Bible verse. God bless that guy.)

[Jonmisc]

You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

[Garneta]

Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories; those that don't work, those that break down, and those that get lost.

It is foolish to postpone enjoyment of your ordinary life until you are more successful, more secure, or more loved than you are today.

There. Two of them this time, since I haven't posted one in a few days.

"I am the only f^$&ing genius in this industry"

said Uwe Boll of the film industry in a recent online interview.

Now we can't let that ignorant bastard keep running his mouth like that, can we? Check out the online petition to get that idiot to stop screwing up videogame films: http://www.petitiononline.com/RRH53888/petition.html

He's been recorded as saying that if 1 million people sign the petition, he'll retire. I highly suggest you let all of your gaming friends [and those who enjoy movies with a plot other than "hey, let's look at Kristanna Locken's boobs"] know about this important petition. Together we can save movies from that jackass!

my friend (not Jonnie): i dont think my ass brays
me: oh, it does when you fart.

"I am the only f^$&ing genius in this industry"

Aw geez...I could've gone without remembering that, ya know...

"In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then He made school boards." -- Mark Twain

[Garneta]

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

[Jonmisc]

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it
everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every
human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy
and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic
doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator
and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple
in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer,
every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar",
every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our
species lived there, on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

[Garneta]

At the moment you are most in awe of all there is about life that you don't understand, you are closer to understanding it all than at any other time.

[Jonmisc]

"Having put him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the
seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength
left him."
-- Judges 16:19

[Garneta]

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.

Sheesh Jonnie, post in something other than just the quote thread, will ya?! (It's hard to procrastinate by way of forums if no-one's ever posting anything!)

[Jonmisc]

The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.
