two from the ancients:

"the unexamined life is not worth living"

"a truly wise man realizes how much he does not know"

- Socrates

and

"All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind."

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

"Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person, at the right time, for the right purpose and in the right way - that is not easy."

- Aristotle

Mr. Steve Albini once said something like the last one - he either told me or I read it in Forced Exposure a long time ago: blah blah, he does not care if everybody likes him, etc.

The quote was something like "I take a certain satisfaction in pissing off the right people".

"I see! Said the blindman, as he picked up his hammer and saw."

"Sport the war, war support
The sport is total war
When victory's a massacre
When victory is survival
When this end is a slaughter
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill"

- Slayer

Yay, a 'ME' parody troll!

More like "Me" party troll. *wink* *wink* *nudge*

The best piece of advice I ever received, and could ever pass on to anyone, is: "choose your battles." Not profound I guess, or particularly original, but goddamn is it important advice.

as in vogue as nietzsche has become it somewhat pains me to say that one of of favorite quotes ever is his. he wrote something to the effect that (i'm paraphrasing) "most people are far too self-absorbed to be evil."

i take some comfort in that thought

Isn't there a song that goes, 'life is a highway, i wanna ride it all night long'?


My personal favorite is: 'Just remember, whenever things seem bad, they can always get worse.'

"Beer is like the brother I never had."
