interesting, and very true

you always hear parents complain to their kids "When I was your age..." and about how their life was tougher than their kids. I suppose you could argue that this quote is sort of in the back of people's mind even if they dont know.

Yo, Kanye, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish, but John Adams had one of the best quotes of all time!

These are all Mark Twain quotes. Perhaps you've heard of him:

"A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar."

"If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it."

"If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed."

"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it."

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it."

"I've never killed a man, but I've read many an obituary with a great deal of satisfaction."

"They did not know it was impossible, so they did it!"

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."

and I heard this one somewhere, but I don't know who said it:

"Light travels faster than sound. That's why people always appear bright until you hear them speak.

Only that in you which is me can hear what I'm saying.Baba Ram Dass

"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand."
- Aldous Huxley

An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original.
-Jean Cocteau

Now its time for some Full Metal Jacket quotes, perhaps the most quote-worthy movie of all time (next to The Big Lebowskie)

"You got girlfriend in Vietnam? Me love you long time"

"This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen."

"Animal Mother here is a fine example of a human being. He just needs someone to keep throwing grenades at him for the rest of his life" *please, God, forgive my paraphrasing*

It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world the way it is. It's about respecting the will of others, and believing in your own. - MGS4
