First up, drive doesn't work but third does, neutral is park, reverse is second. If you want to use reverse put it in drive." -Ricky (The Trailer Park Boys) "Leaves are not green. That's why Lao Tzu said, 'The five colours make a man blind and the five tones make a man deaf,.....If you force sound into five tones, (if) you force colour into five colours you're blind and deaf. The world of colour is infinite as is the world of sound and it is only through stopping fixing conceptions on the world of colour and sound that you really begin to hear it and see it." - Alan Watts "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss "The Liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group." - Franklin D. Roosevelt "I have nothing to declare except my genius." - Oscar Wilde "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead "The central purpose of each life should be to dilute the misery in the world." -Karl Menninger "Fundamentalists of different religions have more in common with each other than they do with the moderates of their own religions." -Mark Thomas "Gender, as it turns out, is complicated. I honestly wish that this were not the case, and that the world were simpler, but it is the case, as scientists and neurologists have made abundantly clear." - Jennifer Boylan "How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.' A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by th...Expand for more
e conventional faiths." - Carl Sagan "The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, and love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life." - Theodore Roosevelt "You know, in the last few years a lot of people have given up on saving the world, trying to be a successful business person, or a good parent, and are concentrating instead on trying to make a half decent cup of coffee." - Red Green "The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast." - Oscar Wilde I don't expect you...to understand...after you've caused so much pain...but then again...you're not to blame ...you're just a human....a victim of the insane -Isolation, by John Lennon But most of all the aloneness, you are so alone. You live out your lives in this shell of flesh, self-contained. Separate, how lonely you are... how terribly lonely. - Kollos (Medusan ambassador mind melded with Spock) "Christianity, the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree....... yeah, makes perfect sense." - unknown - "We spend our lives impersonating who we think others want us to be, and we end up as living impostors. So, when someone comes to me and tells me they're losing their faith I congratulate them. You're starting to embrace your own thinking self - the essential, immutable, immortal self - as opposed to the accidental criminal you have been made to think you are." -Carl "dipsy-doo dunkeroo diddle dop slam-jam-bam, pudding-pop baby!" - Dan Vitale God must have loved the People in Power, for he made them so much like their own image of Him. - Kenneth Patchen "So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." — Chris McCandless "One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding." - Richard Dawkins "I sent her a text once, all I got back was swearwords." - Andrew Eklund "I'm going to grab a cookie. I'm really hungry." I am too after all the making out and bleeding." - Anonymous".
