What is it, what? Is it anything, or is it nothing? Why not a yard short, why not a yard extra? Why just there where you might be, and nowhere else? Some say: It’s simply blind threat, and should you hadn’t stopped there, you would have stopped at the subsequent location. Your story would have been unique then. You weave your own story as you go along. But others say: You would not have stopped any place else however this even supposing you had wanted to. It was decreed, it was once ordered, you had been supposed to stop at this spot and no different. Your story is there waiting for you, it has been ready for you there a hundred years, lengthy before you have been born, and also you are not able to trade a comma of it. The whole lot you do, you ought to do. You're the twig, and the water you waft on swept you here. You are the leaf and the breeze you had been borne on blew you right here. That is your story, and you cannot break out it; you might be most effective the player, not the stage supervisor. Or so some say…….." - Cornell Woolrich I Married A dead Man “experts in historical Greek tradition say that humans back then didn’t see their thoughts as belonging to them. Once they had a idea, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving them an order. Apollo used to be telling them to be courageous. Athena used to be telling them to fall in love. Now individuals hear a industrial for bitter cream potato chips and rush out to purchase. That is what passes without spending a dime will this present day.

I don’t be aware of the difference between what i want and what I’m educated to want. I will be able to’t tell what I particularly need and what I’ve been tricked into wanting. What I’m speakme about is free will. Do we have it, or does God dictate and script the whole lot we do and say and wish? Do we've free will, or do the mass media and our tradition manage us, our wants and movements, from the moment we’re born?” -Chuck Palahniuk, LULLABY

I recommend you read Les Misérables, by Victor Hugo. You will find many great quotes in there. That book is a work of genius.

There are a couple quotes that I really like...
"Did you ever reach a point in your life, where you say to yourself: 'This is the best I'm ever going to look, the best I'm ever going to feel, the best I'm ever going to do,' and it ain't that great?"
"I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me. I lived a few weeks while you loved me"
"You don’t love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her."
"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it."
"Why is it easy to fall in love and yet so hard to be loved back? Why should I feel such if destiny permits me not? Why do I have to fall if it’s you I can’t have? Why is there a “you” in “me” but never a “me” in “you”?"
"The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself. "

You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.- Malcolm X
The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.- Malcolm X
