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."

Is there a perfect set length, and if yes, how long would it be?
I think it depends what night it is. It's like sex: sometimes a quickie, sometimes a long to a very long session.

"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? :D
