“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (…) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”
- John Green "Looking for Alaska"

[The Ghost Writer]

The Illusive Man: Shepard, you're making a habit of costing me more than time and money.

Commander Shepard: I'm sorry, I'm having trouble hearing you- I'm getting a lot of bullshit on this line.

-Mass Effect 2

Yyyeaah.

[The Melancholy Spirit]

Imam: Because you do not believe in God does not mean God does not believe in -
Riddick: Think someone could spend half their life in a slam with a horse bit in their mouth and not believe? Think he could start out in some liquor store trash bin with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and not believe? Got it all wrong, holy man. I absolutely believe in God... And I absolutely hate the fucker.

Imam: I have already prayed with the others. It is painless.
Riddick: It is pointless.

Johns: Hey, I thought I said no shivs!
Riddick: You mean this? This is just a personal grooming appliance.

"They don't grade fathers, but if your daughter's a stripper, you fucked up!"

-Chris Rock

"They don't grade fathers, but if your daughter's a stripper, you fucked up!"

-Chris Rock

>> I totally disagree with this quote. If your daughters a stripper she mush be F*^&ing hot.
Now a prostitute. Yeah.

"Behind the door lies limitless possibilities, this gateway into the unknown. Of course, I dreamily wonder of amazing possibilities, so selfish in nature, that it would be best if I did not write them down; But I guess in the other hand, my worst nightmares could be reality behind this door. I've been told that wonder beyond imagination are on the other side, but that does not explain good, bad, or otherwise." - My husband wrote this. I found it folded up with his writings.

Uh... no, not necessarily. If you're talking some high end, expensive place then maybe they would all be 'hot' but otherwise, majority of strippers are pretty damn average. Or they are downright disgusting. It really, really depends on the place.

"O father, hear these words, your son is not made for this world
Faint-hearted and careworn, into this vile life I was hurled
In the woods the fiends sigh, I swear I heard the demons neigh
On the seashore I espy the dreadful void under the tides" - exert from "In The Groves of Death" by Insomnium

I can't remember if I've posted this quote before, but it's good enough to post again.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

-C. S. Lewis

"Well, it needed to be done last night, but that just means it can wait until tomorrow."

Ah, the wisdom that tumbles out of my cold addled brain.

Family Motto: "Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you can put off 'til the day after." Drives my mother nuts.

‎"Let me ask you something. What is the difference between A) Killing a bunch of zombies, to get hearts out of them. Collecting the hearts, and then going back to town to get an item, to get to another part of the game. And B) Playing a game where you kill zombies obstructing your forward path to another part of the game. Answer: FOUR HOURS." - Egoraptor

Haha! Good one, Dreamless!

[Eternal Phoenix]

No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we’re looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn’t test people for drugs, we should test people for stupidity, ignorance, greed, and love of power.
-P. J. O’Rourke

Look, in my opinion the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what-have-you. The right person is still going to think the sun shines out of your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.
-Mac MacGuff, Juno

Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.

“The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.”

Ah, how strongly his complaint resonated with my chest! It causes a person to wonder if their own internal voices have become louder, or if there might possibly be someone else in the world with the same sentiments.

And on that note:

my haiku: I hate broccoli, it is disgusting, why can’t it be meat?

...Deadpool


~.^ JK. I love my veggies.

[Kalon Ordona II]

That's not a haiku... =)
The middle line is missing two syllables. =D

[Moon Ray]

I believe it's supposed to be read like this:

my haiku: I hate
broccoli. it is disgusting.
why can’t it be meat?

But I've also seen this version:

I hate broccoli
And think it totally sucks
why can't it be meat?

The real question is, does "broccoli" have two or three syllables? I live on a regional boarder and have heard this debate a few times. Personally, I like "Brockley;" "Brock-oh-lee" sounds like a kids' canned food to me.

"The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a kind of religious experience. There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has never left me. Never ever left me."

Aha, see? I was just about to say that broccoli gives the first one too many syllables. xD
I've always said it Brock-uh-lee, with three syllables. Never heard it with 2.
