[bigwong235]

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not seek
So much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand,
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

i'm not so religious, but i always read that when i need some perspective.

"turns out not where, but who you're with that really matters."

"Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison, and the crime is how much we all hate ourselves.

Possibly even me." ~Angela Chase, "My So-Called Life"

11.02.02:
regarding that feeling i had last nite...
the one that felt like there was a wind that swept throughout my body,
leaving me cold and confused:

The first mad anguish fades to heavy sorrow
and after a long while into a soft weakness of tears
that can be blinked away before anyone sees.

regarding crying:

The tears streamed down and I let them
flow as freely as they would,
making of them a pillow for my heart.
On them it rested. -Saint Augustine

Sometimes love is for a moment,
sometimes love is for a lifetime.
Sometimes a moment is a lifetime .

How softly you tiptoed into my world,
so silently, only a moment you stayed,
but what an imprint your footsteps have left
upon my heart.

regarding the boy : : repeat to self:
When you are sorrowful,
look again in your heart
and you shall see in truth
you are weeping for that which has been
your delight. -Kahlil Gibran.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding. -Kahlil Gibran

regarding confusion:
People imagine that missing a loved one
works kind of like missing cigarettes.
The first day is really hard
but the next day
is less hard and so forth,
easier and easier the longer you go on.

But instead it's like missing water.
Every day, you notice the person's absence more. -Anne Tyler

"We're having a good time tonight, but we're going to kill a lot of people next week."
-- veteran rocker NEIL YOUNG, departing from his scripted on-stage remarks at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony to allude to impending war in Iraq

"I had to guard her, which is kind of exciting. ... She's a pretty good player. And I made sure she was guarding me, too. I'm like, 'Hey, over here, Britney. Come guard me.'"

one time my friend drove over to my apt, parked his car and we went to a party together. He got drunk at the party, so i just drove him home afterwards.

the next day he called me in a genuine panick and said "dood wheres my car?"

and he said, "DOOD, Wheres my car?"

[Duke of Mt. Deer]

Remember all things will pass. When you realize this, your life will open before you. Remember all things will end. So come to terms with life.

Do keep ever present in your thoughts, my friend, that an illusion can kill you if you believe in it, and the real thing can kill you regardless whether you believe in it or not.

There comes a time 'tween life and death when all men stop to catch their breath.
We ask the stars why, we question our lot... The heavens open wide and reply, "Why not..."

"6+ years of life deeper than Dante's inferno...for the possibility of serving the wonderful public...in a profession, whose status is ever changing upon the actions of "bright" politicians that are there to serve the ppl as well...allowing ppl to sue for not treating, however, even allowing a suit for saving lives.....alas...pummel into a 6 digit deficit, for an opportunity like this...crazy" -- by a friend in Medical School

What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.

Chuck Palahniuk
Choke


Well I believe in the soul... the cock... the pussy... the small of a woman's back... the hangin' curveball... high fiber... good scotch... that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent overrated crap... I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a Constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Goodnight.

Crash Davis


I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge
That myth is more potent than history
I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -
That hope always triumphs over experience -
That laughter is the only cure for grief
And I believe that love is stronger than death.

Robert Fulghum

"What came first: the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns and watching violent videos that some sort of cultural violence will take them over. No one worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, pain, rejection, suffering and misery. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable, or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?...''
Rob Gordan from High Fidelity

From Clerks~
Randal Graves: Which did you like better? "Jedi" or "The Empire Strikes Back"?
Dante Hicks: "Empire".
Randal Graves: Blasphemy!
Dante Hicks: "Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.

"Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand at post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to."

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating... you finish off as an orgasm.

"There are two kinds of patriotism — monarchical patriotism and republican patriotism. In the one case the government and the king may rightfully furnish you their notions of patriotism; in the other, neither the government nor the entire nation is privileged to dictate to any individual what the form of his patriotism shall be. The gospel of the monarchical patriotism is: 'The King can do no wrong.' We have adopted it with all its servility, with an unimportant change in the wording: 'Our country, right or wrong!' We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had:— the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he...believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism."

Final analysis

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

- “Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.” - Bruce Lee

- “If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain” - Morpheus, The Matrix.

- “Being who we are, escaping from a reality where we may sometimes be judged for how we look, into a world where everyone accepts you for what you are because of a common interest and what we see no longer applies. How we look is but an accident of nature... or accident of others, but how we act here is really the true representation of who we are.” - Scorpion

- We have flown the air like birds and swum the oceans like fishes but we have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers. - Martin Luther King Jr.

- Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. - Buddha

- We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books . It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranges and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations. - Albert Einstein

- “There are people I have yet to meet, others I’ll never see again. People who are gone before you know it, people who are just passing through. Even as we exchange hellos, they seem to grow transparent. I must keep living with the flowing river before my eyes.”

- “In places where a loved one has died, time stops for eternity.”

From Dreaming of Kimchee, Lizard - written by Banana Yoshimoto:

- “Memories are energy, and if they aren't defused, they remain to haunt you.”

- “It's in the air; there's no escape from this force within us. You can pretend to ignore it, but it still obscures your vision.”

I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home. "

"fireworks in the distance" by hidetoshi yamanaka. it is more of a short poem, than a quote, but it's really inspiring ;_; and enlightening, yet painfully sad.

why is the country beyond this sunset burning?
why do they still go on across the red river of blood?
when will the teardrops of mothers dry from their eyes?
when will they have childrens laughter back on the green fields?
what can we do to make them hear people scream?
what can we do to make them throw away their weapons?
how can we smile when we know there is no tomorrow?
what can we do to save the people we love?
how many times must we repeat it until we finally learn?
who will be the ones to be laughing after all of this?
while we are being cut into pieces and burnt, why do people keep on living this prosperous, care-free life?
when will the dying voices and anger of fading sounds
ever be delivered to their pillows?

[nonamerasian]

I don’t remember the full context of the quote. I think this is from when U2’s Bono was on his usual tirade against apathy towards AIDS in Africa and was asked if he thinks he could change the world.

- One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand on the battlefield.- Buddha

- If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain. - Morpheus, The Matrix.

- Being alone is the deepest sense the human condition. Lonliness is the disease of feeling isolated, cut off from human contact and human warmth. Some people battle all their lives against this poigant emotion, struggling constantly to come to terms with the immutable fact of their existance: that all human beings are seperate, one from another, and will remain so all their lives; each sealed within a thin veneer of skin. If this struggle is successful, the individual ultimately transcends his physical limitations and becomes most himself precisely because he is closely bound to others. - Eric P.Mosse

Case in point - I remember a while back, I overheard a cop talking to somebody and he was like, "motherfuckers always be trying to come at me like they bad, I don't give a fuck, I'll shoot that motherfucker just like that, take his ass out just like that, blow his goddamn brains out." And in my mind I was thinking, well hell I'll blow your brains out first if you try that shit, motherfucker. No, two wrongs don't make a right, but at least I'll feel better................

"I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can."

You're born, you take shit, get out in the world, take shit, you climb higher, take less shit. The higher you climb, the less shit you take, till one day you get up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.

What if you walk along and everything that you see is more than what you see -- the person in the T-shirt and slacks is a warrior, the space that appears empty is a secret door to an alternate world? What if, on a crowded street, you look up and see something appear that should not, given what we know, be there? You either shake your head and dismiss it or you accept that there is much more to the world than we think. Perhaps it really is a doorway to another place. If you choose to go inside you might find many unexpected things.

Life is like surfing. Sometimes we all get tied up on looking and waiting for that perfect wave to come along. While doing this, we forget that surfing is not about finding that awesome wave, it's about enjoying the moment, loving what you're doing, going with the flow and making the best of what's been given to you. - Ray Memita


Spirituality I take to be concerned with those qualities of the human spirit-such as love and compassion, patience, a sense of responsibility, a sense of harmony, which bring happiness to both self and others. - His Holiness the Dalai Lama

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.... The chain reaction of evil— hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars— must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
