A quote that you live by

[Dzikun]

Hmmm Well...

I don't know who it comes from but the first would be:

"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

And the second is a Polish one with a twist...

"Better tomorrow... Was yesterday."

And maybe another one with my own twist..

"Who asks.. Gets lost with the others."

 

[Ciran]

"Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

I started to live by this and I seriously don't get annoyed at anyone anymore. Those who get annoyed at my little idiosyncrasies I just stop associating with.

"Boss... you were right. It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world... the way it is. It's about respecting the will of others, and believing in your own."

"The only enemy of a good plan, is the dream of a perfect plan"

I think that was Voltaire

 

[Sojoez]

Most of the Murphy Laws and this: "Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional."

 

[Epitome]

"I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees"

This one suits me, I do what I want and if you dont like me for it well fuck you anyway.

Also " It is better to be hated for being what you are, than loved for being something that you are not."

'The pessimist is never disapointed. The optomist is never pleasantly suprised'

A couple that I like but don't stick to: 'Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer' and 'Life's a *****, and then you die'.

"I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees"

Agreed.

EDIT:
'The past is history and the future is as of yet undifined. It is the here and now that truely matter.'

"Aurum Est Potestas"
Gold is power

Artemis Fowl? Now they're good books and all but they are about super genius teenagers who steal gold from nuclear weapon wielding pixies; really the best place for advise. But hey what ever does it for you

I feel I should just mention; you are no fucking awesome. Love this band, love this album and love this song. Saw them live and it was immense

OT;"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." - Shakespeare Suggests to me that we'll never truly understand the world so there'll always be some level of mystery floating around. I find this thought of the unknown strangely comforting

"If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country" E.M.Forster This one speaks for itself

This one quote sums up my entire philosophy for life:

"I want many things, and in time I intend to get all of them."

[hr]

That's from the New Jedi Order novel series. Odd choice, I know, but it fits.

[j0frenzy]

My dad gave me two quotes that I generally live by:
Everyone's a whore. It is just a matter of naming the right price.
and...
Never take life too seriously. No one ever makes it out alive.
