Favorite words of wisdom

[Blyyr]

Haha, there are many good ones here, mine is simple.

As long as there are two people remaining on the face of the earth, someone is going to want someone, dead.

Could be anyone that said it, philsopher, teacher grandparent, dog even somethign you yourselves said, let me know what you think

as for me it's "if music be the food of love, play on"

twelfth night. studying that at the moment, quite a good play.
as for me it's another shakespeare quote " nothing is good or bad, thinking makes it so"
also another one from when me and my friends where discussing all the things that supposedly cause cancer, like bacon. i said "life gives you cancer, so fuck not eating bacon."

to the 1st quote, hamlet is amazing, second quote, lmao

"Never do anything you'd be too embarrassed to explain to the folks at the ER."

I tripped and fell on it. I swear!

"A rock eventually gets where it needs to go. So keep on rocking."

"Death kills everyone. So shut up and live."

"Don't do anything you aren't supposed to, unless it turns out you were supposed to do that thing. In which case. for the love of God, don't not do that thing!"- Professor Hubert Farnsworth

Otherwise, I'm not really sure of any 'words of wisdom', but I've long held this belief that 'everything happens for a reason'. It just seems apt, for me...

Building off of that, "Everything happens for a reason, and the reason these things happen is because Life hates you. Life hates you, and Life wants you to suffer, and you can be damn sure you're never going to beat it, because no matter what you do, you're playing its' game, and once you're dead, it wins."

I thought you didn't make typos Max? And life doesn't win if you take enough people with you. Bwahahahaha, etc.

 

[Trivun]

You're either a pessimist or a realist, Max. You don't read the works of Ian Irvine, by any chance, do you?

Probably a mix of both.
And no, I haven't. Would you suggest it?

such positive words

Well, I could lie and tell you life is full of sunshine, rainbows, unicorns, and love.

You mean it isn't? Then my Bamalam Badge means nothing. Nothing! (cries in corner)

Actually, I would recommend those books, by the way. I mentioned them because in the second quartet there's a character (Irisis) who's a mix of a pessimist and realist. Basically, she keeps foretelling her own death in various horrible ways and doesn't believe the good guys have any chance against the bad guys. As it were. I won't mention any more, since I don't want to spoil it. But yeah, take a look, Ian Irvine is officially my favourite author right now

"You have to be willing to kill your babies"

Said by my Sophomore English Honors teacher. Wasn't until my senior year in college that I had a class that difficult. Basically, you have to be willing to give up on your best idea, no matter how attached to it you are, if it will allow you to improve and grow. Applies to everything from creative works to professional life to relationships, and its a hard lesson to truly learn.

It's not "its'?" I thought, if it was possessive, you put the apostrophe after the "s."

You know what? They should teach this kind of shit in school.
But they don't.

Nope; 'its' is an exception. It doesn't really make sense, but what in English grammar does?

 

[Infernai]

There are two very simple sayings i live by:
"Fire is the only element of nature that can be used to solve all our problems, provided it doesn't involve water.." Unkown.

"Giving up is what kills people, only those that refuse to give up are entitled there time to trample upon the weak" Alucard (hellsing)

"Why attack the pokemon, when you can attack the trainer?" - Me
"When god gives you lemons you find a new god." - Powerthirst
"When god gives you lemons, you squeeze them in his eyes and rob his ass while he's blinded." - Me

 

[Lukeje]

*Sigh* I wish they had taught me this stuff. Most of the grammar I know I picked up from watching other people.
That is also how I learned to type.

...you learned to type by watching other people? I learned to type by typing.

These are the only ones that I can find at the moment:

"Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a Universe in which there are far more Galaxies than people."
