"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." - George Carlin
A great quote, somewhat compromised by the use of the word "stupider". I still like it. |

I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acid stains you;
And drugs cause cramp;
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
Might as well live.

Plus ca change...
“Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness; cautious plotting, a justifiable means of self-defence. The advocate of extreme measures was always trustworthy; his opponent a man to be suspected. To succeed in a plot was to have a shrewd head, to divine a plot a still shrewder; but to try to provide against having to do either was to break up your party and to be afraid of your adversaries.”
Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War, Book III, 3.82-[4] |

| Quote: | That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.
—Paulo Coehlo |

| Quote: | | The line between having a rational discussion and saying things to others that you never meant to say that way is really thin. I have learned a lot about myself losing my temper, I have learned a lot about others holding myself back. |
I'm not sure who said it, because the only reference I can find is on the page that I C&P'd it from. It's listed at the end of the lyrics to a track called Quick Temper - Slow Mind by Jungbluth, a hardcore/punk band from Münster, Germany. They are named after Karl Jungbluth, a German communist and anti-fascist resistance fighter during World War Two, so he would be the obvious choice, but I'm not so sure. Can anyone shed any light on it?
Not that anyone gives a shit, but it stuck in my mind because I tend to keep quiet and let the weakeners at work do their bit so everyone else in the workshop can see what evil little bitches they are. |
