[Darth Verik]

This one popped up in my mind the other day and i remembered i read it somewhere but finally found it out by a simple google search lol

"to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield" - Alfred Tennyson (from Ulysses)

[Unit 33]

That is twisted and wrong in so many ways... It's almost funny

Then you're lucky enough to be an optimist or the member of some form of religious practise.
Don't mind us existentialists.



Here's some Nietzsche again (at least tirpider might know what I'm on about):
"Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest."

Gotta love Nietzsche. He needed it more than anyone.
Perhaps he was more of an optimist than folks give him credit for. He seemed to thrive on constantly building hurdles of soul-crushing-mythical proportion.

I contribute a pic. Not exactly a quote, but certainly within the unending boundaries of existentialism.

Heh heh. I'm not sure whether I should be delighted... or whether I should sink into a metaphysical pit of despair for understanding existential jokes.

Longer Quotes:
[spoiler]
"... a fullness of state power such as only despotism had enjoyed...surpassed all the past because it strove for the formal annihilation of the individual...Once the earth is brought under all-embracing economic control, then mankind will find it has been reduced to machinery in its service, as a monstrous clockwork system of ever smaller, more finely adjusted wheels" - Fredrick Nietzsche

"Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us - and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along." - Carl Sagan

"The great gift of universal knowledge is bequeathed to those who dare brave the heights of one's own spiritual mountain. It is given to those who not only reach the summit, but climb back down and point the way for others. The great knowing is bestowed upon those whose virtue, strength and temperance are one's guides. Mind, body, heart and soul, when in harmony, are the great attractors of truth and truth can be gained from no other method. The human being must embrace the incorruptible principles of authenticity and embody the integrity that comes from one's own inner grit to find the way. The most astounding reality, the real magic of this gift, is the awakened and fully realized, individualized self. It is the recognition of a sleeping god that had been at rest all along, lost in the dream of being human." - Claudia Pavonis

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise" - F. Scott Fitzgerald

"One... gets an impression that civilization is something which was imposed on a resisting majority by a minority which understood how to obtain possession of the means to power and coercion.  It is, of course, natural to assume that these difficulties are not inherent in the nature of civilization itself but are determined by the imperfections of the cultural forms which have so far been developed." - Sigmund Freud

"Censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion... In the long run it will create a generation incapable of appreciating the difference between independence of thought and subservience." - Henry Steele Commager

"Responsive leaders prefer knowledge and information to be spread as widely as possible among the population, because an informed public is necessary to govern effectively, independent thought produces original ideas and is the key factor by which we progress as a society. When independent thought is stifled society is and will remain stagnant until it is free to flourish once again." - Teresa Stover

"This is where we are at right now, as a whole. No one is left out of the loop. We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies and illusions. A world where greed is our God and wisdom is sin, where division is key and unity is fantasy, where the ego-driven cleverness of the mind is praised, rather than the intelligence of the heart." - Bill Hicks

"History shows that there is nothing so easy to enslave and nothing so hard to emancipate as ignorance, hence it becomes the double enemy of civilization.  By its servility it is the prey of tyranny, and by its credulity it is the foe of enlightenment." - Lemuel K. Washburn

"We have been socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition, and while we wait in silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us." - Audre Lorde

"Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of the pulpit, press, government, or the empty catchphrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let man label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country- hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of." - Mark Twain

"We are the most powerful military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight. Because what happens over here, matters over there. We don't get to sit one out. Learning to use the tools of modern warfare is the difference between the prospering of your people, and utter destruction. We can't give you freedom. But we can give you the know how to acquire it. And that, my friends, is worth more than a whole army base of steel. Sure it matters who's got the bigger stick, but it matters a helluva lot more who's swinging it. This is the time for heroes. A time for legends... History is written by the victors. Now, let's get to work." ~ Lieutenant General Shepherd
