"Never regret anything, because at one point it was exactly what you wanted."

Not sure who said it.

"One, two! One, two! The vorpal sword
went snicker-snack. He left it dead, and with its head
he went galumphing back."

Unknown author, inside wall of Albertsons delivery truck.

Probably the most awesome thing I've seen in my time there. I googled it, and its a poem about the Jabberwocky in From the Looking Glass. I don't know who wrote it on the wall, but it pretty much made my night

"Destruction is far simpler than creation, than sustenance, than deliverance; It takes but one to destroy a world. But the deliverance of that world is not a task for one alone. A world whose fate rests in the hands of one is a world far too simple to be worth saving."
--Prophesy, Elizabeth Haydon

[The Melancholy Spirit]

Just read this on the Decibel Magazine site, a guest blog from Thomas Youngblood (Guitarist from Kamelot):

"Growing up in an A.D.D. world of instant gratification, high sugar levels, toxic products, and lame POP songs, the vinyl experience is like a detox for your soul."

"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."

- John Green

[Eternity]

November 5th is coming. And as with any major election, it can change the course of the world. I think a reminder of how and why we are voting is in order.

"For in a republic, who is "the Country"? Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them. Who, then, is "the Country"? Is it the newspaper? is it the pulpit? Is it the school superintendent? Why, these are mere parts of the country, not the whole of it; they have not command, they have only their little share in the command. They are but one in a thousand; it is in the thousand that command is lodged; they must determine what is right and what is wrong; they must decide who is a patriot and who isn't.
Who are the thousand--that is to say, who are "the Country"? In a monarchy, the king and his family are the country; in a republic it is the common voice of the people. Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catch-phrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide it against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide on way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country--hold up your head. You have nothing to be ashamed of." - Mark Twain

This was quoted in a Marvel comic and was said by Captain America who finished off the issue by saying.

"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree besides the river of truth, and tell the whole world----No you move." -Captain America.

I hope...I pray that those of you in my homeland will use November 5 to make your voices heard.

"No you move." That almost made me teary.
Good quotes, Squall!!

[Squall Reyes]

“The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.” - President LBJ

“Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right” Henry Louis Mencken (This quote was from 1920's, so our two parties haven't changed since then...joy.)

"people had been led to believe that they could simply vote for whatever they wanted... and get it, without toil, without sweat, without tears." - From Starship Troopers The book not the movie. You know the GOOD one. (This was written in the 50's, and how true it is of today's voting public is disgusting.)

[Lucian 'The Wolf' Harth]

I have a couple favorite quotes!

"If living means bowing down to the likes of you (censored), I'd rather die on my feet with my head held high." - Mugen, Samurai Champloo ep. 1

"Life without courage is slavery, and Koss was born free." - Koss, Ally Hero from Guild Wars Nightfall campaign

"I've seen better heads on a mug of beer!" - Unknown, one of the guys from Grease

[The Melancholy Spirit]

The following is a quote from John Haughm, the vocalist/guitarist/lyricst of the band Agalloch, after being asked his view of God/Divinity/Spiritually. The line he refers to was mentioned by the interviewer from the “In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion” and was:

"If this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . .
Then God is not dead"

Side note: It took some effort to paraphrase this from his speech patterns and all the uhm, ehm, you know - stuff.

“Well from a pagan stand point, there are many gods. I think in that line I was referring to the god of nature. Where as in Bloodbirds I’m referring to the god of man as being a failure whereas the god of nature is creating beautiful panorama that is endless and wondrous I mean that’s really my point of view of god is its more or less just a perspective, it’s a human perspective on life in different forms and I take more of the heathen approach to that whole concept. I don’t really believe in some Christ figure or anything or whatever but rather just a spirit and different sorts of spirits like the spirits of the woods and the spirits of the sea and things like that and that god is in a way what you make it, him to be, or it to be. So yeah, that’s kind of where I stand on that I’m definitely not Christian and I don’t subscribe to any sort Christian views but sometimes Christians have the rights things to say if they aren’t fanatical about it and that’s the other thing is that I believe people should be free to believe in whatever the hell they want but as soon as you mix extremism with ideology and things like that its bad, whether its Christian, pagan or whatever. The short answer is I take more of a heathen view.”

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Mark Twain


Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.
Sholom Aleichem

[Squall Reyes]

"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.There is only one thing for it then -- to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust,and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." -- T.H. White, "The Once and Future King"

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

You can either complain that
rose bushes have thorns — or rejoice
that thorn bushes have roses.

"The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just."

-Abraham Lincoln

[Artorius]

"He who makes a beast of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man!" -Avenged Sevenfold (I tihnk they got it from somewhere else)

[The Melancholy Spirit]

"And so now I'd like to say - people can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. People are running about following their little tracks - I am one of them. But we've all got to stop just following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything - this is something that I'm beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other. That's because they've been dehumanized. It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Greed, it ain't going anywhere. They should have that in a big billboard across Times Square. Without people you're nothing. That's my spiel." — Joe Strummer



"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not. There is nothing more common then unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world if full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are Omnipotent.
" — Joe Strummer
