<p>We stackin' cemeteries,

<p>It is a shame that in this society we've been taught to judge a man's worth by what he owns instead of who he is. Everything is surface, and so few look beyond it. A man will sell his soul, he will lie, cheat and steal, for money. If he has it, he can buy respect. Wear the right clothes, drive the right car, have the right friends, that's all that matters. Our lives are consumed in a selfish, self absorbed quest for possessions, the latest and the best in a never-ending cycle until the day we die. We forget what it means to be truly human. We forget the things that really matter. We lose the magic of what life should be.</p>

<p>“And to think, there are still places in the world where man has not been, where he has left no footprints, where the mysteries stand secure, untouched by human eyes. I want to go to these places, the quiet, timeless, ageless places, and sit, letting silence and solitude be my teachers.”- Evan Tanner</p>
<p>"Believe in yourself. Believe in your own potential for greatness. Believe that you can change the world. It is something that is within each of us. Believe in the Power of One"- Evan Tanner</p>

<p>Responding to Cro Cop saying he had "no ethics":</p>

<p>Most of the big shore places were closed now and there were hardly any lights except the shadowy, moving glow of a ferryboat across the Sound. And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors' eyes-a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby's house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald</p>
<p>From my three favorite books (in order of greatness): </p>
<p>"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current, where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patters that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back, not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived, all things were older than man, and they hummed of mystery." - The Road, Cormac McCarthy</p>
<p>"And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quicklime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." - John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath</p>
<p>"And of the Witch? In the life of a Witch, there is no after, in the ever after of a Witch, there is no happily; in the story of a Witch, there is no afterword. Of that part that is beyond the life story, beyond the story of the life, there is - alas, or perhaps thank mercy - no telling. She was dead, dead and gone, and all that was left of her was the carapace of her reputation for malice." - Gregory Maguire, Wicked</p>
<p>And a favorite personal quote: I was babysitting this little boy who kept scratching at his crotch, so I asked him if he had to go to the bathroom, and he said, "No, it's okay, my ***** is just stuck to my tentacles." Bwahahaha.</p>
<p>"You haven't lived unless you have alot to regret." - JFK</p>
<p>"Forgive your enemy but never forget their name." - JFK</p>
<p>“There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other. “ J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</p>
<p>“Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.” Robert Frost</p>
<p>“Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.” Ralph Waldo Emerson</p>
<p>“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one." Jane Howard</p>
<p>Those are my yearbook quotes. I like them a lot.</p>
<p>A drunk driver is very dangerous. So is a drunk backseat driver if he's persuasive. 'Dude make a left.' 'Those are trees... ' 'Trust me.' -demetri martin</p>
<p>"I like a martini, two at the very most. After three, I'm under the table. After four, I'm under the host." Dorothy Parker</p>
<p>QUOTATIONS QUOTATIONS QUOTATIONS!</p>
<p>"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way: something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
(Alfred D'Souza)</p>
<p>"The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only APPEARS to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just the way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.</p>
<p>When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is 'So it goes.'"
(Billy Pilgrim; Kurt Vonnegut)</p>
<p>"Death was irreversible, [Yossarian] suspected, and he began to think he was going to lose."
(Joseph Heller)</p>
<p>"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
(Marcus Aurelius)</p>
<p>"There was an old lady who lived in a shoe. She had so many kids her uterus fell out."<br>
(Andrew Dice Clay)</p>
<p>"Cheer up, Dick!"</p>
<p>(Jane Eyre by Charles Bronte)</p>
<p>"Sex is not the answer, it's the question. And the answer is yes."</p>
<p>^ lol, nice one</p>
<p>People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.</p>
<pre><code> If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
