"Brought a sword to the dance floor to cut a rug"
"I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent."
--"Save Me"-Queen

"But touch my tears with your lips,
Touch my world with your fingertips,
And we can have forever."
--"Who Wants to Live Forever?"-Queen

{chorus} Oh where oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good
So I can see her when I leave this world

Going to church does not make a person religious, nor does going to school make a person educated, any more than going to a garage makes a person a car.

"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything." Muhammad Ali

"The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?" Eugene Kennedy

H. L. Mencken's Law: Those who can -- do. Those who can't -- teach.

Shut the fuck up

Martin's Extension: Those who cannot teach -- administrate.

If at first you don't succeed, give up, no use being a damn fool.

According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.

Anybody with money to burn will easily find someone to tend the fire.

Excerpts from the Notebooks of Lazarus Long

Always store beer in a dark place.

Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win.

Any priest or shaman must be presumed gulity until proved innocent.

There is no conclusive evidence of life after death. But there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will KNOW! Why fret about it?

What a wonderful world it is that has girls in it!

Delusions are often functional. A mother's opinion about her children's beauty, intelligence, goodness, et cetera ad nauseaum, keep her from drowning them at birth

History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unkown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.

A motion to adjourn is always in order.

Of all the strange crimes that human beings have legislated out of nothing, "blasphemy" is the most amazing--with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for second and third place.

All men are created unequal.

One mans theology is another man's belly laugh.

Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.

Sex should be friendly. Otherwise stick to mechanical toys; it's more sanitary.

Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.

Any government will work if authority and responsibility are equal and coordinate. This does not insure "good" government; it simply insures that it will work. But such governments are rare--most people want to run things but want no part of the blame. This used to be called the "backseat-driver syndrome".

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can not help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent--it says so right here on the label. If you have a mind capable of believing all three of these divine attributes simultaneously, I have a wonderful bargain for you. No checks, please. Cash and in small bills.

Masturbation is cheap, clean, convenient, and free of all possibility of wrongdoing--and you don't have to go home in the cold. But it's lonely.

The most preposterous notion that H. Sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord Gor of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of among the oldest, largest, and least productive industries in all history.

The second most preposterous notion is that copulation is inherently sinful.

Thou shalt remember the Eleventh Commandment!

Rub her feet.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

If I sell a horse, I'll never guarantee that it has a leg on all four corners. The buyer must make certain of that themself.

In handling a stinging insect, move very slowly.

Never try to outstubborn a cat.

Every animal finds its ending place. Some find it in a trap, another in a fight it cannot win, some happy few in a quiet place to wait for the end. Whatever it is, it is the ending place and most of us know when we reach it. This is mine.

You still don't understand. There is no time, there is no space. What was, is and ever shall be. You are you, playing chess with yourself, and again you have checkmated yourself. You are the referee. Morals are your agreement with yourself to abide by your own rules. To thine own self be true or you spoil the game. Crazy? Then vary the rules and play a different game. You cannot exhaust her infinite variety. You wish to see my face? Try a mirror.

Everytime I feel your heartbeat, it is a gentle reminder of the soul that lives within.

Loving someone is loving that someone despite that person's flaws and weakness.

I chased after love for what seemed forever, but it was when I stopped to take a rest that it found me.

A tear falls forever inside a broken heart.

Watching you walk out of my life doesn't make me bitter or cynical about love, but it rather makes me wonder; if I so much wanted to be with the wrong one, how wonderful it will be when the right one comes along.

I don't regret the things I have done or the things I have chosen not to do because what ever I've done, I must have done something right because I ended up with you.

Whoever said it is better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all, must not have had their heart broken.

Letting go has never been easy but holding on can be as difficult, for strength is measured not by holding on but by letting go.

No matter how ugly you think you are, that special someone that loves you believes you are the most beautiful and irrisistable thing on earth and nothing can ever change that.

Love and electricity are one in the same, my dear.... if you do not feel the jolt in your soul every time a kiss is shared, a whisper is spoken, a touch is felt, then your not really in love at all....

Love...An emotion So strong that you would give up everything...To just feel it once...To know that you are part of something special...To know that you can feel what Love really is...To know...To feel...To love.

Certain chance occurences have caused our paths to meet. Destiny has joined our hearts and made our lives complete.

I don't know what brought us together, What strange forces of nature conspired to construct the present from the past. I'm reminded that what I feel for you remains strong and true, Long after the pleasures of the flesh

True love is not two souls coming together, but one soul finally finding it's other half

It only takes three words to show the object of your affection how much he/she means to you. Those words are: 'I love you.' Simple truths are the most profound ones.

To have found love is to be complete; for you are no longer in search of that missing part of yourself.

If the eyes are windows to the soul then a kiss is the best way to taste it.

Don't show her that you love her. Show her how much you love her.

A smart girl can open up my mind, a pretty girl can open up my eyes, but only a sweet girl can open up my heart.
