Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
"Did you sleep well?" "No, I made a couple of mistakes."
I made a chocolate cake with white chocolate. Then I took it to a potluck. I stood in line for some cake. They said, "Do you want white cake or chocolate cake?" I said, "yes".
I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.
I wrote a song, but I can't read music so I don't know what it it. Every once in a while I'll be listening to the radio and I say, "I think I might have written that."

All Steven Wright quotes.

"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns or watching violent videos afraid that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands, of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery, and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"

We each make our own life from our thoughts, therefore if you think that life is out to get you, it is.
--Me

See the man with the lonely eyes,
Take his hand, you'll be surprised.
--Supertramp

If you plan to face tomorrow, do it soon.
--Gordon Lightfoot

And he who is wise will not criticise when other men fail at the game.
--Gordon Lightfoot

Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon,
Riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky.
And it comes to you how it all slips away,
Youth and beauty are gone one day.
No matter what you dream or feel or say,
It ends in dust and disarray.
Like wind on the plains, sand through the glass, waves rolling in with the tide,
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode but we cannot be denied.
The fire inside.
--Bob Seger

It takes time sometimes to figure out,
That there's nothing to worry about.
That there's plenty to be thankful for,
It takes time sometimes to know the score.
--REO Speedwagon (Kevin Cronin)

Your primary goal in life should be to live up to your own personal expectations, not the expectations of others.
--Russ

Nothing I have never said has ever done me any harm.
--Calvin Coolidge

Every man who strives to be an island will eventually be reached by someone who strives to be an ocean.
--Me

I like the first and the last best, but I'm sort of biased.

Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things,
in which smiles and kindness and small obligations, given habitually,
are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort. -Sir Humphrey Davy

His science was simply human and human science, I soon convinced myself,
could never conquer nature's laws so far as to imprison the soul. -Mary Shelley, The Last Man

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds
and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.
But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.
And who is willing to destroy a piece of their own heart? -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between political parties
either -- but right through every human heart. -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit -- and man is his own gardener."
-James Allen

Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.
-James Baldwin

Your body is the baggage you must carry through life. The more excess baggage, the shorter the trip." -Arnold H. Glasow

It is a great mistake for men to give up paying compliments, for when they give up saying what
is charming, they give up thinking what is charming. -Oscar Wilde

"Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle
of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world -- making the most of one's best." -Harry Emerson Fosdick

"The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention." -Richard Moss

"All things that a man owns hold him far more than he holds them." -Sigrid Undset

No, life has not disappointed me. On the contrary, I find it truer, more desirable and mysterious every year -- ever since the day when the great liberator came to me: the idea that life could be an experiment of the seeker for knowledge -- and not a duty, not a calamity, not trickery."
-Friedrich Nietzsche

Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving. Make everyday a holiday and celebrate
just living!" -Amanda Bradley

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be "laced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

"In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea."

"For life is at the start a chaos in which one is lost. The individual suspects this, but he is frightened of finding himself face to face with this terrible reality, and tries to cover it over with a curtain of fantasy, where everything is clear. It does not worry him that his ideas are not true; he uses them as trenches for the defense of his existence, as scarecrows to frighten away reality."

(Jose Ortega Y Gasstet, The Revolt of the Masses, pub. A.D. 1930)

"Creation is a drug I can't do without."

(Cecil B. De Mille)

"The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good: not only dark, but also light, not only bestial, semi-human and demonic but superhuman, spiritual, and in the classical sense of the word, 'divine.'"

(Carl Jung, Collected Works: Vol. 16, the practice of Psychoterapy, pub. 1954

-Anatole France

"The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person."
-Shannon (Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk)

Since this thread is still going... here is my third page of qutoes:

"Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on."
-Churchill


"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward."
-Vernon Law, baseball pitcher

"When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail."
-Abraham Maslow

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end
they always fall. Think of it... always."
-Mahatma Gandhi

"Skepticism is a virtue, but risks becoming cynicism. Cynicism is a vice. Faith is a virtue,
but risks becoming belief. This is a weakness. May we hold skepticism close; May faith hold
us closer. But let us not belittle the beliefs of others, For although beliefs are legion
they may lead to faith, And faith is one."
--Robert Fripp's Diary, Sunday 31st. October, 1999; 17.43

"I'm going to rent myself a house in the shade of a freeway. Going to pack my lunch in the morning,
and go to work each day. And when the evening rolls around, I go on home to lay my body down.
And when the morning light comes streaming in, I'm going to get up and do it again... amen. Say it again... amen."
--Jackson Browne, The Pretender.

There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical
experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the
boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius
which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging
our debt to the former, we yearn nonetheless for the latter.
