* * * FAVOURITE QUOTATIONS “The saddest aspect of life right now is
that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”
- (apparently) Issac Asimov “Darkness cannot drive out darkness:
only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do
that.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. “In my mind I am eloquent; I can
climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral
ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, everything
collapses.” - ‘Warm Bodies’, Isaac Marion “Be soft. Do not let
the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the
bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest
of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful
place.” - Kurt Vonnegut “Look at the kind of people who most
object to the childishness and cheapness of celebrity culture. Does
one really want to side with such apoplectic and bombastic bores? I
should know, I often catch myself being one, and it isn’t pretty. I
will defend the absolute value of Mozart over Miley Cyrus, of course I
will, but we should be wary of false dichotomies. You do not have to
choose between one or the other. You can have both. The human cultural
jungle should be as varied and plural as the Amazonian rainforest. We
are all richer for biodiversity. We may decide that a puma is worth
more to us than a caterpillar, but surely we can agree that the
habitat is all the better for being able to sustain each. Monocultures
are uninhabitably dull and end as deserts.” - Stephen Fry “You
see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And
if you don’t believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a
favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all
your CDs and burn them. ‘Cause you know what, the musicians that
made all that great music that’s enhanced your lives throughout the
years were rrreal fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking
high they let Ringo sing a few tunes” - Bill Hicks “It is
sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.” - Philip
K. Dick “That’s the smell of desire, m'lady.” - 'Anchorman’,
Brian Fantana “I like turtles.” - Jonathan the Scary Zombie “I
hadn’t known there were so many idiots in the world until I started
using the Internet.” - Stanislaw Lem “I want to recriminalise
homosexuality, so that I can feel dirty when I do it.” - Frankie
Boyle “Don’t lower yourself to the level of those you would call
beasts unless you want to become a beast yourself.” - Me “I
don’t care about any one group of people over another. When I fight,
I fight for everyone. That’s how it should be.” - Me “I smell a
lot of emotional blackmail and the twisting of words. Must be a
conversation about abortion!” - Me “I don’t mind if you don’t
agree with me, just as long as you keep quiet about it.” - Me
“People think too small.” - Me Most of my own quotes are probably
paraphrasing someone better and wiser than I. If you know of any that
match up then please inform me so I can put up theirs instead. I hate
feeling so vain.
