    "Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else"
    - Tyler Durden


    "There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions."
    - Joseph Heller, Catch 22


    "There's always soma to calm your anger, to reconcile you to your enemies, to make you patient and long-suffering. In the past you could only accomplish these things by making a great effort and after years of hard moral training. Now, you swallow two or three half-gramme tablets, and there you are. Anybody can be virtuous now. You can carry at least half your morality about in a bottle. Christianity without tears-that's what soma is."
    - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

    "When Things got hard, you started looking for something to blame. Like a Big Shadow.
    Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it...

    You've gotta hit as hard as life. It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much can you take and keep moving forward? That's how winning is done.

    If you know what you're worth, Go out and Get What Your Worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that."

    ----Rocky Balboa


    "You want something? Go get it. Period."

    Pursuit of happiness

    People always say to me, "when you get to the NBA, don't forget about me." Well, I should've said back, "if I don't make it to the NBA, don't you forget about me." - William Gates

    Anything from the O.T, that has 'smote' in it. 'Smote' is a wonderful word, and the world is a poorer place without it.

    I am smitten with 'smote' but
    I much prefer smut
    I'd prefer to rut than watch smut
    but if I rut,
    I might end up with a mite...

    It matters not how strait the gate
    nor how charg'd with punishment the scroll
    For I am captain of my fate
    And Master of my soul.

    That or

    If I'd known it was going to be this sort of party I'd have stuck my dick in the mashed potatoes.

    "I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
    ...
    A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.

    An hour of wolfes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crushing down! But it is not this day!

    THIS DAY WE FIGHT!

    By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"


    "If" By Rudyard Kipling is full of them but last verse in particular:

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
    Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
    And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
