nothing that ever happens is really of any importance.

(i dont mean this in a hatetheworld kind of way, just as in, really when you get to the bottom of it all, who can decide what the point of everything is? just try your best to enjoy it.)

the quote i live by is:

"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right tio disobey it, he is obligated to do so." - Thomas Jefferson US Co-Founder, President and Posthumously diagnosed with Aspergers

this quote is easy enough to understand it is the duty of every american to break the law if it is unjust which i was in the Atwater Police Cadets and i can tell you that 3/4 of America's laws are unjust

Sometimes it's best to lie because the truth causes more problems than it solves. That ones mine. And also for my other favourite, refer to my signature.

Love that one, even if my life plan sometimes deviates from it.

"Trust is the biggest liability of all"

That's from the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, which is from Star Trek. Other rules include "Never place friendship above profit" and "No good deed ever goes unpunished."

As long as you never give up, you've always have a chance.
-Bill Clinton from his autobiography

I will give so much to the improvement of myself that I will have no time to criticize others
-Chuck Norris from his Code of Ethics

Dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never get hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like it's heaven on earth.
-I totally forget who said this, but actually thats what my signature says in Spanish.

I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human.
-David Bowie, not sure why this appeals to me so much.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
-Oscar Wilde; rather hypocritical to put this after a long string of quotations :wink:

So here's my little rhyme :):
pijn is fijn en grof is tof

translation: pain is fun and rude is superb ( something like that anyway)

Also for those among us wo ever played the videogame bioshock.... Andrew Ryan ftw ;).
quote example:

Quote:
"I believe in no God, no invisible man in the sky. But there is something more powerful than each of us, a combination of our efforts, a Great Chain of industry that unites us. But it is only when we struggle in our own interest that the chain pulls society in the right direction. The chain is too powerful and too mysterious for any government to guide. Any man who tells you different either has his hand in your pocket, or a pistol to your neck."
