Keep on keepin' on


Reddit had a thread about quotes that you find yourself using over and over. I selected some that I like. Spoke to me. Some of these are well known, some of them I hadn't heard before. 

  • Yesterday is yesterday. If we try to recapture it, we will only lose tomorrow -Bill Clinton 
  • Good fiction disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbed." -- David Foster Wallace 
  • Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. - The Dude 
  • What we do in life echoes in eternity
  • Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. - Plato 
  • You can't always get what you want. But, if you try sometime, you find you get what you need. - Rolling Stones 
  • He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. - Mark Twain

  • War is not about who is right, but who is left. - Bertrand Russell
  • The point of the story isn't the little girl. The point is that they robbed a bank with a telephone.
  • I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -Frank Herbert, Dune

Dear Frog-- What can I say but: I told you so? I don't mean to sound so harsh, but from the beginning, I figured I was destined to "fuck up," as I so put it. And, well, I fucked it all up. I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, but so it goes. It is in my nature. Did I not tell you this before? Perhaps, someday there will be one whom I will not sting.

Scorpion _______________________________________ The Scorpion and the Frog A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back.

These be the stops that hinder study quite, And train our intellects to vain delight. BEROWNE. Why, all delights are vain; KING: I've seen for days that you've got The ways that must be checked In you I never can detect The slightest signs of intellect Your mad on dances, think of the chances you neglect You never seem inclined to use your mind You're just a fella who Has got his brains in his dancing shoes Take a lesson from me BEROWNE: I'd rather Charleston LONGAVILLE and DUMAINE: Do...
