Nice. :lol:

What if they chose to have a cup of coffee only to kill themselves afterward?

How are you?
Have a nice day
I understand
Thats nice
Oh and the spousal all time favaorite that is totally genderless:

I'm still laughing at this one I heard a lady see in a tv show. "I'm a Christian. My ears are not garbage cans!" That's my fave of the moment.

"Life's a beach, the problem is just when you get used to the water the tide goes out."

That was me who said that, I still think it's true 8 years later.
“I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; One third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence.”

Oscar Wilde - probably.

This is my own...

"Save the 'I'm sorry[s] for the really important things".

People say "I'm sorry" for the most ridiculous reasons. How many people have bumped into me in a store and said "I'm sorry" when an 'excuse me' and a smile (or no smile) will suffice. I always tell them with a smile to save the "I'm sorry[s]" for the really important things. And then I usually see the epiphany forming on their face..."ah yes". :lol: But so true.

And then there are those who would never utter those words - no matter what. Too much fear of a deflated ego...it takes real humility and self-awareness to know when to be sorry - or not.
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon

“One of the pitfalls of childhood is that one doesn't have to understand something to feel it. By the time the mind is able to comprehend what has happened, the wounds of the heart are already too deep.”

“But in good time you'll see that sometimes what matters isn't what one gives but what one gives up.”

A room without books ..is like a body without a soul.”

“I couldn't help thinking that if I, by pure chance, had found a whole universe in a single unknown book, buried in that endless necropolis, tens of thousands more would remain unexplored, forgotten forever. I felt myself surrounded by millions of abandoned pages, by worlds and souls without an owner sinking in an ocean of darkness, while the world that throbbed outside the library seemed to be losing its memory, day after day, unknowingly, feeling all the wiser the more it forgot.”

I have an uncle who tells me often, "Be good, and if you can't be good, be good at it".
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: 'It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to.'" - Jim Jarmusch

Another favorite of mine is "Don't say the 'P' word!", but it's kind of an inside joke. Okay fuck it, here's how the conversation went down -

person 1 (drunk): "Don't say the 'P' word!"

person 2: "What, pussy?"

person 1 (still drunk): "No. Pagina."

person 3: "Pagina? .... Isn't that what the world was called before all the continents split apart?"

*uproarious laughter*

Postby Duality » Tue Dec 27, 2011 7:35 pm

that was a good one.
"A truth is not necessary, because we negatively are not able to conceive the actual existence of the opposite thereof;but a truth is necessary when we positively are able to apprehend that the negation thereof includes an inevitable contradiction. It is not that that we can see how the opposite comes to be true, but it is that the opposite can not possibly be true." -R.L. Dabney

"Those then who know not wisdom and virtue, and are always busy with gluttony and sensuality, go down and up again as far as the mean; and in this region they move at random throughout life, but they never pass into the true upper world; thither they neither look, nor do they ever find their way, neither are they truly filled with true being, nor do they ever taste of pure and abiding pleasure." -Socrates

This reminded me of an often used saying: someone says "I am sorry", the other person says" I know you, are now apologize" :lol: :lol: I have had it done to me. it will either break the ice and make both laugh or it will less often cause more issues. I laugh when I get zinged with it. :lol: :lol:
