Brightman Accept, dear girl, this little token, And if between the lines you seek, You'll find the love I've often spoken The love my dying lips shall speak. - Eugene Field It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. I have known you my entire life, but I have just now met you Therefore the love which us doth bind, But Fate so enviously debars, Is the conjunction of the mind, And opposition of the stars. Each grape variety is so different, and each region and soil is so different, and each year of production is so different, and each bottle is so different, so that each glass of wine is a once in a lifetime experience You can look at the road and you can talk about the road, but until you just get on the road and start driving, you'll never know where it goes. Knowledge versus acknowledgement. That's the problem. "The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it." - Saint Teresa of Ávila Hail Bloody Mary, full of vodka, Blessed art Thou amongst cocktails. Pray for me now, and in the hour of my death, Which I hope is soon, Amen - Sterling Archer "No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it." - Andrew Carnegie "That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired." - Office Space "We can see its effect, and we can invent a name for it, but it doesn't exist in any physical form. How can something that doesn't exist in physical form have influence over the things that do?" - Scott Adams From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere. If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good. - Dr Seuss The saint disciplines his ego. The sage rids himself of it. "Sometimes you have to let your heart lead you... even if you know it is someplace you know you are not suppossed to be" "There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, the other is getting it." "They say, "Evil prevails when good men fail to act." What they ought to say is, "Evil prevails."" There is no mystery, only the inability to perceive the obvious. - Wei Wu You have to go too far to know what too far is - Créations Musca Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? - Juvenal, "Satires" Reality is a momentary dream, but a dream is reality for an eternity. No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit. - Ansel Adams Imagination is more important than knowledge. - Albert Einstein The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. - Alvin Toffler There is no good, there is no bad.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. "An indictment is not a conviction" "Yeah, but a crazy bitch is still a crazy bitch" - JLH There is a fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'.

It's a matter of taste. They say beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes way down to the bone. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And Helen of Troy launched a thousand ships. There are exotic beauties. Hidden gems. Diamonds in the rough. The crown jewel. There are beauty queens. Ugly ducklings. Acquired tastes. Late-bloomers. Classic beauties. There are looks that kill. Looks to die for. Looks that turn heads and looks that stop traffic. But looks aren't everything. You can't judge a book by its cover. Cuz the prettier the face the dumber the head. But could be, they're more than just a pretty face. For beauty comes in all shapes and forms. And it's what's on the inside that really matters. For a thing of beauty is a joy forever. But remember: The star that burns brightest burns briefest. And every rose has its thorn. - Tatsuya Ishida "The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you'll learn." - Leon, "The Professional" We are a society that sheds spouses and takes on new lovers faster than a rajah can work through his harem. We dissolve entire families on a whimsy of lust. We pursue bald ambition as if it were the true religion, leaving our children to come home to empty houses, to fix their own meals, to cope with the crippling insecurities of adolescence, while we engage in an endless chase after the grail of possessions. And we have the audacity to wonder who killed the innocence of childhood. - Steve Martini I think the message she's sending is a good one: I'm definitely a threat and I need to be contained. You see, parents today don't have the time to be bothered by things like supervising their kids and teaching them right from wrong, so what we as a society need to do is ban everything objectionable. - Maddox A self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude "Geac's software products may contain errors or defects that could result in lost revenue, delayed or limited market acceptance, or product liability claims with substantial litigation costs. In these circumstances, Geac may be unable to successfully correct the errors in a timely manner or at all." - Geac Annual Report, 2003 Definition of Windows: 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor written by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1-bit of competition. "The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating... you finish off as an orgasm." - George Carlin "Java rocks!!! I must make and drink an entire pot every morning!! Then I take a big dump. Just like a Java application. " "MDMA utilizes serotonin. Opiates, like heroin, utilize dopamine. Sort of like the same sensation you get after sex. Amphetamines increase andrenaline. Cocaine gets those synapses in the brains firing really fast. My product is 51 times stronger than cocaine, 51 times more hallucinogenic than acid, and 51 times more explosive than Exstasy. P-O-S-5-1" - Elmo McElroy, "Formula 51" "What is chemistry, but the ability to attract adoration in others?" - Iki, "Formula 51" "'PC Load Letter'? What the fuck does that mean?!" - Michael Bolton, "Office Space" "History is events remembered, not necessarily what actually happened." - SSD "It's supposed to be hard. If it weren't hard, everyone would do it" - Jimmy Fox "Aerodynamics is for people who don't know how to build engines" - Enzo Ferrari "There is no right and wrong, only fun and boring. A 40 year prison sentence sounds pretty boring to me." - Eugene Belford, "Hackers" Old wives say: "Don't crack your knuckles -- it causes arthritis." "The 'cracking' is actually caused by the bursting of a bubble of nitrogen that forms inside the joint when the joint moves," says John Klippel, M.D., medical director of the Arthritis Foundation. "Popping your knuckles may be annoying to others, but it doesn't cause arthritis, enlarged joints or musculoskeletal problems." The female body is like a Myst game: You can be perfectly entertained just roaming around and viewing the scenery, perhaps interacting with a few interesting objects to see what happens, but if you really want to make progress, you have to think logically to solve mind-bending puzzles, and interact with those objects in very specific ways. - Mat Sherer If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem "Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately." "Well, I wouldn't exactly say I've been *missing* it, Bob." - "Office Space" "Oh I see what they’re doing! They call “small” a “tall” because it makes the customer feel good when they pay $3 for a urine sample sized cup of coffee swill! This way it seems like they are getting more because the word “tall” is stuck into their psyche. I see their psychological marketing trickery! You tricky bastards that’s what you all are! And "vente" isn’t even a word! It’s some fucking “hoighty toighty" phrase used to make people feel more sophisticated when ordering a large coffee so when they part with the $5 for the coffee they don’t feel like a fucking moron." - Jonathan Ian Mathers, http://www.illwillpress.com "What do you Brits say when you stereotype American speech?" "Anything lacking irony or sarcasm usually qualifies, or we just hoot like gibbons and invade sandy countries." - bash.org "Well it's a complex thing, bypassing Windows security. I mean you'll have to boot from a CD..." "...Yes, and then?" "That's pretty much it." - Simon Travaglia "The ultimate game would be a game sorta like The Sims, except it would be called 'Angst'. You would see how many angsty people you can befriend, screw over, and then befriend again." "You just described 'Livejournal: The Game'" - bash.org "Who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are" - Tokyo Drift "As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do." - Andrew Carnegie
