I'm a geek, so all the following quotes are from sci fi movies I like... "Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony." -Morpheus, The Matrix "Do not try to bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth." "What Truth?" "There is no spoon." - Neo and child, Oracle's waiting room, The Matrix "Your eyes deceive you, don't trust them. Let go your conscious self, and act on instinct." - Ben Kenobi, Millennium Falcon, Star Wars Ep. IV A New Hope. Although these quotes are all theatrically derived, I find them easily applied to reality. I'll get more, I have a buttload of favorite philosophical quotes...
Ah yes.... "Silence is Deafening" - Anonymous Taoist Philosopher "Aim at nothing and you'll never miss." - My Friend Jasmine.
"Whenever I'm in doubt, I ask myself, 'What would Jesus do?' And then I realize, Jesus got crucified, so maybe his decision-making isn't all that great." -Oscar Wilde. Taken from uncyclopedia. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
"A clever monkey, does not monkey around with another monkeys monkey!" From a poster on a wall ... somewhere ... sometime.
If you think about something long enough, you will eventually get depressed. - Silas Owens, and possibly another.
"What has happened has happened and could not have happened any other way." -Morpheus, The Matrix (Reloaded?)
Yes it could have happened very well the other way round if your views were different before U let it happen.
Aha! But you couldn't have had different views either, because you too are part of the system. Determinism, you know.
