This was originally from the movie Johnny Got His Gun, and later featured in the music video for One by Metallica, which was where I first heard it. It is also currently my motto. Basically, a little boy is talking to his father:

Little boy: What is democracy?
Father: Got something to do with young men killing eachother, I believe.

Also, I like these three:

The Clash said:
Number three: You have the right, to free speech. As long as, you're not dumb enough, to actually try it.
Benjamin Franlin said:
Any person who would scarifice an essential liberty for temporary security deserves neither liberty or security.
Frank Zappa said:
There are two rules to succeeding in music. One is don't stop and the other is to keep on going.

Movie - "We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories... And those that carry us forward, are dreams. " From the Time Machine.
"I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. " - 2001: A Space Odyssey

Game - "The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world." - Half life 2

Real Life - "The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death - however mutable man may be able to make them - our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." - Stanley Kubrick

"If man merely sat back and thought about his impending termination, and his terrifying insignificance and aloneness in the cosmos, he would surely go mad, or succumb to a numbing sense of futility. Why, he might ask himself, should he bother to write a great symphony, or strive to make a living, or even to love another, when he is no more than a momentary microbe on a dust mote whirling through the unimaginable immensity of space?" - Stanley Kubrick

Most of the big shore places were closed now and there were hardly any lights except the shadowy, moving glow of a ferryboat across the Sound. And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors' eyes - a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby's house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.

And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further... And one fine morning---

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby.[/u

I studied the Great Gatsby last year at college, I loved this part too.

My favorite quote: Use the search bar!

Ok, not really.

My REAL favorite quote: "Man is the most dangerous animal of all to kill" the Zodiac Killer.

"It's just like Speed 2! Except with a bus instead of a boat!!" - Milhouse in an episode of The Simpsons.

You just reminded me of my favourite.


"It was this film where this bus' SPEED couldn't go over fifty, if the SPEED of the bus went over fifty, then the SPEED of the bus would make it explode. I think it was called...

The bus that couldn't slow down."

I think to get a tattoo inspired by that passage you would just have to choose a small part of it, possibly the most meaningful to you and work from there. There's just too much going on in the passage otherwise in my opinion.

True, true.
Getting the whole thing would be terrifying.

Unless you were like Yao Ming, then I'm pretty sure the small of your back would suffice :p

AHAHA, of course, I completely forgot about that one. Genius.

Another classic one I forgot about: Resident Evil 4.
