Originally posted by SuperFarStucker Yeh.. the dialog in Fight Club is ACE. One of my all time favorites. I wonder if anyone sees the terrible irony in them dethroning modernized civilization in the culmination of modern art which is a product of civilization. Think about it, funny as hell.

well... and how else are we supposed to dethrone modernized civilization?


"The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend."


"Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I've ever known."


"You can't escape the world, and you're not responsible for how you look, if you look beauticious or butt ugly. You're not responsible for how you feel or what you say or how you act or anything you do. It's all out of your hands. The same way a compact disc isn't responsible for what's recorded on it, that's how we are. You're as free to act as a programmed computer. You're as one-of-a-kind as a dollar bill. There isn't any real you in you.. Even your physical body, all your cells will be replaced within eight years. Skin, bones, blood, and organs transplant from person to person. Even what's inside you already, the colonies of microbes and bugs that eat your food for you, without them you'd die. Nothing of you is all-the-way yours. All of you is inherited. Whatever you're thinking, a million other folks are thinking. Whatever you do, they're doing, and non of you are responsible. All of you are a cooperative effort.

You're a product of our language, and how our laws are and how we believe our God wants us. Every bitty molecule about you has already been thought out by some million people before you. Anything you can do is boring and old and perfectly okay. You're safe because you're so trapped inside your culture. Anything you can conceive of is fine because you can conceive of it. You can't imagine any way to escape. There's no way you can get out. The world is your cradle and your trap. And if you can find any way out of our culture, then it's a trap, too. Just wanting to get out of the trap reinforces the trap. The best way is not to fight it, just go. Don't be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger. Don't do what you want. Don't do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to do. It's the opposite of following your bliss. Do the things that scare you the most."

-Napoleon (Supposedly)

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and
father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves." - Dr. Carl Sagan, (1934-1996).

"While one is never free from one's situation, one is always responsible for what is made of one." - Jean-Paul Sartre.

Yah, but it makes you wonder. Did he mean free as in beer or free as in speech?

"TODAY, Greeegor, TODAY" - Mr. Delaney, my cross-country coach. (yes he had trouble pronouncing my name)

I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip

This has personal meaning... how?

I think this thread's kind of been bastardized from "post meaningful quotes" into "post any old quote that you liked".

" Never be so quick to judge on something you don't fully understand..."

"Everything happens for a reason."

Prove the bastards wrong.

One of the biggest flaws of humanity lies in the fact that humanity lacks humanity.

a weekened wasted is never a wasted weekend

Originally posted by Flec a weekened wasted is never a wasted weekend

change that to a morning, day, and night and you got yourself a quote!

"Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers.
Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends.
Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.

But why would i want to do a thing like that?

I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

- Renton from 'Trainspotting"


dont get me wrong...im not a heroin junkie....never done it in my life....
i just thought this was an awesome quote.

"The truth is that I'm a bad person, but that's going to change. I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm going to be just like you. The job, the family, the fucking big television, the washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisurewear, luggage, three-piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, to the day you die. "



personally, i'm leaning more towards the first part

If at first you dont succeed your doing it wrong
