    after reading this thread
    could we get an inspirational quotations sticky here?

    ....all responses must be in the form of a noted quotation ie: "The trouble with being in the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat."

    :)

    Some see the glass as half full, others see the glass as half empty. Me, I see the glass as too big.



    A man may perform astonishing feats and comprehend a vast amount of knowledge, and yet have no understanding of himself. But suffering directs a man to look within. If it succeeds, then there, within him, is the beginning of his learning. Soren Kierkegaard

    This above all: to thine own self be true,


    To be or not to be-that is the question:
    Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
    Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
    And, by opposing, end them


    Something is rotten in the state of Denmark


    some of my favourite hamlet quotes


    “I am a Jew/ Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs/ dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with/ the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject/ to the same diseases, heal’d by the same means/ warm’d and cool’d by the same winter and summer/ as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?/ If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you/ poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?” -Shylock The Merchant Of Venice

    What's in a name? That which we call a rose
    By any other word would smell as sweet - Romeo and Juliet

    If music be the food of love, play on - The Twelfth Night

    Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ‘em - The Twelfth Night

    Drool and scratch your crotch on the train that way you’ll always have the seat to yourself. Remember fat or ugly girls are easier; they are also more grateful and have to try harder. Drink a half bottle of gin every morning that way you would feel like such a loser. Gives girls you sleep with the number to Supermax and tell them your real name is Morris. If someone skips you in a queue, follow them home, piss on their doorstep and let all the air down in their wheels. Cause a loud fuss in shops, it’s a total laugh so it is. Dont mess too much with yourself or by the time your 40 you'll be blind



    Etc etc etc can’t remember the rest at the mo but I’ll add to it as pieces come back

    -Stevo
