<p>Meg (about Peter being retarded): I can never go to school again!
Stewie: Oh, yes, Meg, yes-yes yes, everything was going swimmingly for you until this. Yes, yes, THIS is the thing that will ruin your reputation, not your years of grotesque appearance, or your awkward social graces, or that Felix Ungerish way you clear your sinuses, no no no, it's THIS. Do you hear yourself talk? I might kill you tonight. </p>

<p>"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? </p>
<p>Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. </p>
<p>We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.Â
-- Marianne Williamson in her book "A Return to Love"</p>
<p>This quote is often erroneously ascribed to Nelson Mandela.</p>
<p>Good quotes.....</p>
<p>...BUMP!</p>
<p>OK Let me paste some of my favorite quotes....</p>
<ul>
<li>"We may become the makers of our fate when we have ceased to pose as its prophets."</li>
<li>"We are social creatures to the inmost centre of our being. The notion that one can begin anything at all from scratch, free from the past, or unindebted to others, could not conceivably be more wrong."</li>
<li>"The true Enlightenment thinker, the true rationalist, never wants to talk anyone into anything. No, he does not even want to convince; all the time he is aware that he may be wrong. He seeks not to convince but to arouse  to challenge others to form free opinions."
Karl Popper</li>
</ul>
<p>"I do not write for a select minority, which means nothing to me, nor for that adulated platonic entity known as 'The Masses'. Both abstractions, so dear to the demagogue, I disbelieve in. I write for myself and for my friends, and I write to ease the passing of time."
Jorge Luis Borges</p>
<p>"A common trend in modern societies is the contagion of desire. A man loved by a well-reputed woman excites other womens' imagination; and each of them feverishly wants him, out of vanity or curiosity, or even to compete with each other. Don Juan's charm was his fame and not in his persona."
Gabriele D'Annunzio</p>
<p>"Nothing so soothes our vanity as a display of greater vanity in others; it make us vain, in fact, of our modesty."
Louis Kronenberger</p>
<p>"If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?"
Thomas Jefferson</p>
<p>"Having pride doesn't count for much if you're dead."
Nobumoto Keiko</p>
<p>"Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they have of it themselves"
Benjamin Franklin</p>
<p>"Earth is a very dangerous place, as every living thing on the planet eventually dies."
Uncyclopedia</p>
<p>"Thousands of people quit smoking every day - by dying..."

<p>I did have a test today. That wasn't bullcrap. It's on European socialism. I mean, who really cares? I'm not European, I don't plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're socialist? They could be fascist anarchists, and that still wouldn't change the fact that I don't have a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any ism for that matter. Isms, in my opinion, are not good. A person should not believe in an ism--he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon: I don't believe in the Beatles, I just believe in me. Of course, he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus, and I'd still have to bum rides off of people.</p>

<p>"You make sure they remember, FOREVER, the night they played the Titans!"</p>
<p>"Now you're thinkin'. First you smile, then you thinkin'. You think football is still fun?"</p>
<p>"This is where they fought the battle of Gettysburg. Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fighting the same fight that we are still fighting among ourselves today. This green field right here, painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys. Smoke and hot lead pouring right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men. I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family. You listen, and you take a lesson from the dead. If we don't come together right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were. I don't care if you like each other of not, but you will respect each other. And maybe... I don't know, maybe we'll learn to play this game like men."
--Remember the Titans</p>
<p>"l came to coach basketball players, and you became students.
l came to teach boys, and you became men."
--Coach Carter</p>
<p>You can make today a winner
Even in youâre a beginner,
If you think you can, you can,
If you think you can, you can.
You can wear the gold medallion
You can ride your own black stallion.
Itâs not the talent or the gifted birth,
Itâs not your bankbook that determines worth,
And it isnât the color of your skin.
Itâs you attitudeâŠ
That makes you win!
You can redirect this nation
And make life a celebration
If you think you can, you can,
If you think you can, you can.
It doesnât matter if youâve won before
It makes no difference the half-time score
So keep on trying and youâll find youâve won!
Just grab your dream and then believe it,
Go out and work, and youâll achieve it.
If you think you can, you can,
If you think you can, you can.</p>

<p>I love this poem. Positive Attitude-- it's a way of life:)</p>
<p>My current fave quote: Barack Obama's speech after the New Hampshire primary:</p>
<p>"It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.</p>
<p>Yes we can.</p>
<p>It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.</p>
<p>Yes we can.</p>
<p>It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.</p>
<p>Yes we can.</p>
<p>It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.</p>
<p>Yes we can to justice and equality. </p>
<p>Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. </p>
<p>Yes we can heal this nation. </p>
<p>Yes we can repair this world. </p>
<p>Yes we can. </p>
<p>We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.</p>
<p>We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.</p>
<p>But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.</p>
<p>Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -- </p>
<p>Yes. We. Can."</p>
<p>"It is simply that we can all be good boys and wear our letter sweaters around and get our little degrees and find some nice girl to settle, you know, down with... take up what a friend of ours calls the hearty challenges of lawn care... Or we can blaze! Become legends in our own time, strike fear in the heart of mediocre talent everywhere! We can scald dogs, put records out of reach! Make the stands gasp as we blow into an unearthly kick from three hundred yards out! We can become God's own messengers delivering the dreaded scrolls! We can race dark Satan himself till he wheezes fiery cinders down the back straightaway....They'll speak our names in hushed tones, 'those guys are animals' they'll say! We can lay it on the line, bust a gut, show them a clean pair of heels. We can sprint the turn on a spring breeze and feel the winter leave our feet! We can, by God, let our demons loose and just wail on!"</p>

<p>A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be in the cell next to you saying "That was *****ing awesome!".</p>
<p>Alcohol ain't the answer... but it makes you forget the question</p>
<p>God must love stupid people, he's made so many</p>
<p>Break Dance, Not Hearts;
Drop Beats, Not Bombs;
Make Love, Not War;
Condoms Are Cheaper Than Guns Anyways.</p>
<p>Death is God's way of telling man "Your fired!"
Suicide is man's way of telling god, "You can't fire me! I quit!"</p>
<p>It's funny how common sense isn't really common.</p>
<p>Love is giving someone the power to destroy you but trusting them not to</p>
<p>The happiest ones don't necessarily have the best of everything... they just make the most out of everything that comes along their way.</p>
<p>Love is like war easy to start, hard to end, impossible to forget.</p>

Not being retarded...</p>
<p>There are no strangers. Only friends we haven't met yet.</p>
<p>And when he called to say he loved me
I asked him what he loved most
and he said my Blue eyes
I hung upâŠ
My eyes are BROWN</p>
<p>There's a difference in what we long for,
what we settle for, and who we're meant for...</p>
<p>S.e.x is like taking a picture: Yeah, it's much more special when done with someone you love, but in reality? You can do it with anyone</p>
<p>I don't want to be the girl you point at showing your friends saying âthatâs herâ. I want to be the girl in your arms while talking to your friends, hearing you say, âthis is herâ.</p>
<p>I was a little upset when i saw you with her
but then i laughed coz she was ugly.</p>
