"When the going gets tough, see if there are cheat codes."

"Remember, there is always someone who is a bigger loser than you...but theyre not here right now."

"A nice behind can make up for a sub-par chest, but a nice chest can't make up for a sub-par behind."

Ha, and here I was about to say that this thread was really making me cringe. Awesome.

I wouldn't dare take credit for this little gem, but I was there when it was first said and it's now become quite the slogan through my school, "There are no traffic jams on the extra mile" - Kyle Lamb RHS '10.

The pursuit of absolute perfection is in of itself a flaw.

"Love to live, live to love."
My own.
The thing is, it might not be true for everyone, but "Love to live, love to play video games" doesn't quite have the ring to it that the first one did.

Edit: There's this quote that I've always loved from The Incredibles.
"If everybody's special, no one is."

"They say we only use 10% of our minds. This is not true. The 10% is simply what we are consciously aware of, everything else is devoted to your subconscious. You can catch a glimpse of the other 90% in your dreams. It's that part of you which governs your personality, preferences, and decides which side of a fight you stand on. In short, everything that makes you you, goes on beneath the surface. You might catch a glimpse of it in your dreams, but if you can learn to truly know yourself, and to harness all those swirling thoughts beneath the surface and focus them, you can make those dreams into reality."

These are the kinds of quotes where I honestly just want to reply with "Source?"

Uh, my head?

Heh, if you look up there, you'll see I edited it slightly because I didn't quite like how that middle part sounded. If I was quoting someone else, I'd have to be crazy to rewrite it. Also, you could google it, nothing will come up.

As for the actual "source," (that is, the inspiration), it's due to a conversation I was having with my brother yesterday. He was saying how he was disappointed with humans in general and thought that as a species we were not very impressive, being overly destructive, cruel at times, etc. I was arguing against that, and we ended up talking about why people are the way they are, with a focus on the subconscious. It's been bubbling around the back of my head, and when I saw this thread, I figured it was as good a time as any to try to put my feelings into words.

That's probably waaaay more specific an answer than you were expecting, (if you were expecting an answer at all, heh).

You have a weird family.

Hey! Just because me and my brother are weird doesn't mean the rest of my family is! Well, I mean, we are all weird, but you shouldn't make assumptions. Besides, weird is fun, normal is boring!

Alternately, since when are philosophical discussions "weird"?

They are not weird, it's just weird if you have them over the dinner table

 

[Griphphin]

"Normal people are boring."
You'd be amazed just how often that can help remedy an awkward point in a conversation.

Nothing will ever beat ITS OVER 9000!!!!

Where are all the infamous Escapist wordsmiths? Does no one feel inspired to create something surprisingly beautiful? Or something devastatingly depressing?

I think they're all getting me back for the thread I made a while ago asking if low content replies bothered people... and about a hundred people replied with "no". It's so obvious in hindsight. Also, karma's a *****.

Hahah thats priceless

People are in it for themselves and are adamant to convince you otherwise.

"Humor makes life bearable; pain makes life beautiful."

edit:
"Pain and misery and darkness are a necesity of the human condtion. Imagine life without the concept of horror, with out the concept of death; it would be terrible. Without despair there can be no true joy; Without night there can be no day; without fear there is no bravery; without death there is no life."

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

These threads always remind me how deep a lot of people wrongly believe they are. It makes me larf.

This is one thats quoted by friends of mine on a regular basis. Let's just say, I was was heavily "intoxicated" with various illicit substances.

Them: Jim, How do you feel?
Me: I'm good. Everyone is my friend. Fat bitches.....I'll talk to 'em"

I'm aware some people might not agree with mine, but here it is.
