well, i haven't seen the entire movie, but I saw a clip from THE RULING CLASS, and it had one of the greatest quotes i've ever heard.


"how do you know you're god?"
"it's simple, when I pray to him, I find I'm talking to myself."

"Life is hard. After all, it kills you."

Don't remember where it's from.

"Life is and STD and unfortunately it's fatal!"

"I never take life too seriously, after all I'm not going to survive it."

Paraphrased from "Bugs Bunny".

"buy land, their not making any more"

"clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society"

a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,
which is why women are really the ones in charge.

"If you encounter me on the path to enlightenment, kill me." ~Buddha

"if you encounter me on the path to enlightenment, you went the wrong way"-Rhuen.

They're

"People get lost in thought because it is often unfamiliar territory"

Can't remember who said it.

"If I am not for myself, who am I? Yet if I am not for others, what am I?" ~Hillel the Elder

"When I was thirteen my father told me what sixty-nine meant and then I had to go explain to [Annette Wards] who was seventy years older that sixty-nine meant for a man to kiss a woman's vagina while she kissed his penis, whereas she thought it meant six inches up and nine months to wait" - Gibby Haynes

"Those who know nothing can understand nothing." ~Ansem

"-What would you have to say to abused children?
-I would rather listen to what they have to say instead of preaching them." ~Marilyn Manson


"Every night and every morn some to misery are born.
Every morn and every night some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight, and some are born...
to endless night." ~ William Blake - Auguries of Innocence


"If you happen to step in shit, lick it off with your tongue so that everybody think that you stepped in icecream" ~ D. Jester

"My mind's a machine gun, my body's the bullets, and the audience is the target" - GG Allin

Tautology.

"Darkness can not survive with out the light. The brighter the light....the darker the shadow."-I can't remeber or I made it up one of the two

you didn't make it up, I have heard it in a number of anime and videogames.

although the way I heard it was that neither can survive with out the other, or light can not exist with out darkness. a few variations exist.

this one comes straight from the pastor of my dads church.

"god give me patience, and give it to me now"

"Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit."- Oscar Wilde

Irony.

As it was meant to be...considering my facetious nature and all!

"God is to big to fit into one religion" - Unknown

It's not unknown. That's from Dogma

Actually it was on a bumper sticker I bought and there was no name. That line is not word for word what is said in the movie though the context is similar.

"Mommy's one of the Chosen People, and Daddy thinks Jesus is magic." ~Sarah Silverman

"when mommy and daddy don't know the answer they say God did it"
-I wish I remembered who said this.

"early bird gets the worm, spread your legs or spread the word. so what if I'm not the smarted peanut in the turd."
-bloodhound gang

Nobody likes a clever bastard. -- George Etheridge (attributed)

All patience ever gets you is older -- Villa from Blake's Seven...







Couldn't you leave us to just try to muddle through on our own?



In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman. -- Nancy Astor

"Plagiarism is the art of remembering what you heard and forgetting where you heard it."
-- probably Oscar Wilde. If not him, Winston Churchill. If not him, Shakespeare, if not him Ambrose Bierce, and if not him then I made it up.

"Work is the scourge of the drinking classes"- Wilde

"I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not" - Robert G. Ingersoll

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." - Wild

"The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few"
-Spock

Life Isn't a succession of urgent nows, it's a listless trickle of why should I's! -- John Wilmott. second Earl Of Rochester...


All men would be cowards if they only had the courage. -- Wilmot of Rochester

"Don't believe everything you think."- saw it on a bumper sticker. Changed my life.

that's a good one.

"Do as Thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." ~Aleister Crowley (the man was a right bastard and charlatan, but he had some good quotes)

Actually, he had a number of laudable qualities... He just didn't sit well with the early twentieth century etablishment...

I'm fond of his poetry. I've been fascinated by the man since I saw a documentary about him in the Masters of Darkness series five or six years ago.

Any occultist worth his reference books will tell you the same thing: Crowley was a sham.

I've been a fan of Crowley for some years, so you're going to have to go into a little more detail than a three single syllable word dismissal of him... I've studied the man and his influence in some detail and cannot find any evidence of him pretending to be anything he was not.

He was arrogant and a bully without a doubt, but he also had an indomitable will, and he did affect change with it. The whole nature religion revival including Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wicca are an offshoot of his philosophies and there is no doubt that he influenced the movement towards a greater openness in society in the middle of the twentieth century. He even merited an appearance on the Seargent Peppers cover that provided the soundtrack that hit the public consciousness.

There is very little doubt that if Crowley had never lived you would not be afforded the luxury of being openly homosexual at the moment, and I would be under serious pressure to listen to hypocrisy in sub zero temperatures on a winter's Sunday morning...

"to see the light , first you have to risk the darkness" some song

"just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand" -bumper sticker I got at the PPD

"I tried snorting coke once, but the ice cubes got stuck in my nose"
-hell if I know who originally said this.

"Hell is for people who refuse to worship their great great...grand father's imaginary friend"
-Rhuen

"I am paying for this microphone" - Ronald Reagan

"Don't you shut me off I'm paying for this broadcast" - from the film State of the Union

"A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury."

"No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think."

-Both by John Stuart Mill

"There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher." -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?" -Gandhi

It's all very well that peolpe can list up all these deep and wise quotes, but really, we aren't that damned smart, so I'd rather cite this one:

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

We deserve to keep getting taunted by quotes such as this one for voting that imbecile into office. Not once, but TWICE. He might be a complete imbecile, but we voted him in, so we're hardly any better. Think of the people in Iraq, the countless lives we've destroyed and the families we've broken up, and it's all thanks to our stupidity. WE voted him in. After 9/11 everyone got that "nuke 'em"attitude, and four years with him in charge appearently wasn't enough to make us realize our mistake. We don't deserve to pride ourselves with the wise words of Ghandi. We deserve the shame, the mockery and the ridicule. Just like Germany after the nazi-regime.

I didn't vote for him.

Also, I'm pretty sure the second election was fixed, and most likely the first.

All my problems arise from outdated generations of man- darkality
