"The biggest achievers had the biggest problems."

"It is better to be crazy than stupid, stupid people do not achieve anything in life, but it is better to be smart than crazy."

"One creates from nothing. If you try to create from something you're just changing something. So in order to create something you first have to be able to create nothing."

"The seeker is he who is in search of himself. Give up all questions except one: "Who am I?" After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The "I am" is certain. The "I am this" is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not. Discover all that you are not -- body, feelings thoughts, time, space, this or that -- nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive. The clearer you understand on the level of mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and realise that you are the limitless being."

"Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you especially have to be hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But when you get the damned hurt, use it-don't cheat with it."

"Great ideas fade if not remembered"

"Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value."

"The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive."

"Do what you can with what you have, where are you."

"We can never reach perfection"

"We don't need perfection we need contentment"

"Be not ashamed of your mistakes and thus make them crimes"

"An alliance with the powerful is never to be trusted"

"Vikings stand up and fight, because if you run, you will only run tired"

"Adversity and loss make a man wise"

"Beauty is a perception"

"A short life is a illusion"

I vaguely remember reading this here at the Hive, but can't remember who said it.
When people tell me "plz" just because it is shorter than "please", I feel perfectly justified to say "no", because it is shorter than "yes".

Screw you guys,

“I have met a lot of hardboiled eggs in my time, but you're twenty minutes.”
“I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.”
“Love is like a booger. You keep picking at it until you get it, then wonder what to do with it.”
“I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was "You'll never find anyone like me again!" I'm thinking, "I should hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you."”

Practice makes perfect but then again, nobody's perfect, so why Practice?!

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.

{EDIT}
"I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was "You'll never find anyone like me again!" I'm thinking, "I should hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you."”

Yes, you never find a same person again, in history there was no person like that and never will be. To have a same person the chances are 1:300000000000.

To the quote above:
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

He who laughs last didn't get the joke.

Everyone needs belief in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

If anyone can show me one example in the history of the world of a single psychic who has been able to prove under reasonable experimental conditions that they are able to read minds.

And if anyone can show me one example in the history of the world of a single astrologer who has been able to prove under reasonable experimental conditions that they can predict future events by interpreting celestial signs.

And if anyone can show me one example in the history of the world of a single homeopathic practitioner who has been able to prove under reasonable experimental conditions that solutions made of infinitely tiny particles of good stuff dissolved repeatedly into relatively huge quantities of water has a consistently higher medicinal value than a similarly administered placebo.

And if anyone can show me one example in the entire history of the world of a single spiritual or religious person who has been able to show either empirically or logically the existence of a higher power with any consciousness or interest in the human race or ability to punish or reward humans for there moral choices or that there is any reason - other than fear - to believe in any version of an afterlife.

"There are no facts, only interpretations."

"That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

"In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."

"Faith: not wanting to know what is true."

- Friedrich Nietzsche​


"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"

- Epicurus​
