Welcome to Gaia! ::

Personally, I prefer "Life is for the living. Death, too, is for the living. If you are fascinated or entertained by death, make the most of it while you're alive. When you really are dead, it won't hold any interest at all.". But that's me.

And I should stop there, or I'll just end up typing out the entire final chapter of SS!

About SS! though, I do so love the end of "Writter's Disgust by Anton "Tony" LaVey"

For those who don't know what I'm on about, let me type it up for you.

If ewe don't get it, you phail.

I really like this one... smile


One of my personal favorites


While searching for that quote's author, I found a few more interesting quotes...

Brilliant. Superb, even.

Reminds me of the phrase "I'd rather be happy than right everytime".

It's better when followed up by "That usually never happens".

"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."

"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."

# "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

# "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

# "If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."

# "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."

"Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever."

# "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."

# "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

All quotes by Albert Einstein.

some quotes i like

To bad stupidity isnt painful ~LeVey


At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols ~Aldous Huxley

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction ~Blaise Pascal

Battle not with monsters
lest ye become a monster
and if you gaze into the abyss
the abyss gazes into you ~nietzshe

What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core
~arrendt

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness. ~Joseph Conrad

One of my favorites:



It's the opening quote for the game Vagrant Story. There's a reason I carry the "Blood Sin" (also from this game) as a tattoo high on my back.

Ooooh Quotes biggrin

I must give credit to LaVey's popular "It's too bad stupidity isn't painful."

But, really, one of the things that got me to look at the world in a perspective that would better allow Satanism to begin with was H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu. It would be a bit much to quote the whole thing, but it's easily Google'd.

Stop! You reek of devil magic! Have you been meddling in the affairs of the dark artists again? ~unknown

I love acting. It's so much more real than life. ~Oscar Wilde

This is a shrine, it's where they worship gods.
No, this is a shrine. We do not protect gods, but people. ~Random Tsubasa chapter (philosophy from anime XD)

Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus
which translates to: Never tickle a sleeping dragon. ~JK Rowling.

And, lastly:
Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon... ~Terry Pratchett.

It's amazing that such ordinary writers can give so much insight. I suppose that's the point, though, isn't it?
