GOD: "Parting your soup is not a miracle... It's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs and still finds time to take her kid to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says "no" to drugs and "yes" to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them. But what they don't realize is *they* have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle."

Bruce Almighty
 
Morning guys, Austin again. I'm not too sure if there's already a thread like this, but can we have a quotes thread? Post any quotes that you like.

"There's no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment." - Hunter S. Thompson

"Most people work just hard enough not to get fired, and get paid just enough money not to quit." - George Carlin

"Normal people have an incredible lack of empathy. They have good emotional empathy, but they don't have much empathy for the autistic kid who is screaming at the baseball game because he can't stand the sensory overload, or the kid having a meltdown in the school cafeteria because of the amount of stimulation." - Temple Grandin

"I don't give a f**k about what anyone thinks, and I never have. You say everyone is entitled to their opinion? Well, I'm entitled to not give a f**k about your opinion. Anyone who gives another person s**t for how they look or for what music they listen to is just insecure. Think about it, they find you so important that they take time out of their life to f**k with you? Seems pretty weird, right?" - Rob Zombie
 
I often think of
"You're only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!" - Michael Cane, in The Italian Job.
Also, if I'm thinking that something needs to kept a secret, I think of
"Keep it Secret, keep it safe" - Gandalf in Lord Of The Rings
 
The Theatre of the Absurd attacks the comfortable certainties of religious or political orthodoxy. It aims to shock its audience out of complacency, to bring it face to face with the harsh facts of the human situation as these writers see it. But the challenge behind this message is anything but one of despair. It is a challenge to accept the human condition as it is, in all its mystery and absurdity, and to bear it with dignity, nobly, responsibly; precisely because there are no easy solutions to the mysteries of existence, because ultimately man is alone in a meaningless world. The shedding of easy solutions, of comforting illusions, may be painful, but it leaves behind it a sense of freedom and relief. And that is why, in the last resort, the Theatre of the Absurd does not provoke tears of despair but the laughter of liberation.

My favourite quote is by Winston Churchill, "If you're going through hell, keep going". For personal reasons it's my favourite quote.
 
A film quote from "Gods and Generals"

"The Lincoln administration required us to raise three regiments. Tell them we have done so!

- Thomas J. Jackson, Confederate States of America (Stephen Lang)
 
Winston Churchill, at the close of World War 2 - "The next time fascism rears its ugly head it will be heralded as anti-fascism."

This guy was a sharp cookie, maybe we should listen to him.
 
"Am I a good man, or am I a bad man?"
Anthony Hopkins, as Freddy Treeves, in the elephant man. How that movie didn't the best movie gong, I'll never know.
