“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
I kind of like that quote. When I read that I figure that we´re all still responsible for our actions but sometimes when things go wrong it does´nt necessary makes us bad.
He (Marilyn Manson) has a woman's name and wears makeup. How original.
Alice Cooper
That just made me laugh, thought that was kind of fun. (If, I dont know how, but if someone happens to have missed the whole Alice Cooper thing, he´s a musician that changed his name to Alice and in the early -70´s, started to put on makeup as a thing for his musical performance. Marilyn Manson also is a musician that does that, the thing is he started that much much later then Alice Cooper.
Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
Elbert Hubbard
Always aim for the moon; even if you miss... you'll still be among the stars
I dont know who said that but I like it.
"If you dont love me for who I am, I will not change. Because then it will be the change you love, not me. If you love me for who I am maybe I´ll change into something you love even more"
That one I take credit for myself, (if no one argues otherwise) I was in my 20 something when I said that, studing Sociology and human social behaviour. We often had some weird discussions in class but it was kind of fun. This I said when our teacher argued that we all have to change and that we do that to please other people. His point beeing that we change not from desire and a will to change but from necessity. That was one fun discussion
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus (not 100% sure he said that got it listet as Unknown as well as Camus, it´s a good quote anyways)
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
Maya Angelou
This I really needed to hear/read, I´ve done entirely to much complaining lately.
We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
Carl Jung
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I heard this quote little over 10 years ago from someone encouraging me to start studie at college. I had doubts and some fear about going and this quote made me reconsider and realize that I was just a bit scared of not knowing if college was the right thing for me. I dont know if Martin Luther King Jr refered to faith in God but for me at that time it meant that you should always have faith in yourself or life or something and not let your doubts or fear get in your way.
Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Douglas Adams
(one of my favorite authors, if you havent you just have to read his books and if you read Hitchhikers guide to the galaxay and all 5 books in that triology.. yes its a triology and it consists of 5 books, read them and you get the picture.. you just have to read some of his other books, like for example - "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" and "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul")
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
Albert Einstein
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me".
Erma Bombeck
(this was one funny lady who said alot of thought worthy things, if you´ve missed her you really should google her)
