Haha, Mary's a moron (and a cute one, too). Here's her guide on "How To Be A Great Thinker":
Quote from: Marianne
It's pretty easy to become a great thinker. All you have to do is think big! *thinks of a gynormous building* Oh... Dubai. Anyway it's being the middle-man that's tough!

She also told me once that being "Open Minded" means exposing your brain by transplanting a window on your skull.

Ah, and apparently this God of War just evolved into Lavos (via 4000 posts). Surprise! I'm a geek...  :(

I think we create our own meaning, and if we do it well that brings us happiness. It is too easy to have a guru on a mountaintop saying the answer is this and this. That's a cop out. The meaning of life is to struggle and find your own meaning of life.

Michio Kaku is my hero. Damn, I wanna meet that guy.

Quote from: ZeaLitY
If the truth can be better communicated, the world will be drastically improved. How frustrated I am that I can't simply force the truth on the world. It's so obvious once you get it.
This. Is. RAD!!

Z has hit a jackpot.  :D I'm saving this to Evernote. However, here's another challenge: Truth has several layers of conquest. What you see or understand is but a fragment.

There was a good dialogue of Krishna and the Antim Satya, but I kinda forgot... It talks about the seven seas of lies, I think.

Quote from: William Blake, "The Marriage of Heaven & Hell"
Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence.

From these contraries spring what the religious call Good & Evil. Good is the passive that obeys Reason. Evil is the active springing from Energy.

Good is Heaven. Evil is Hell.

William Blake is such a haus.

Ahura Mazdah! The aggressor and the shield! Pride and humility! Visions and oblivion! Malevolence and benevolence! The bold and the broken... HELL YEAH!! :D

Know that no color is complete without the marriage of Black and White that bear its destiny. Tear through the light of a thousand suns and heed the resonance of the vivid, and you will see even in the void the triumph of limitless hues.

Good old Blake, one of my favorite poets!

Quote
Children of the future age,
Reading this indignant page,
Know that in a former time,
Love, sweet Love, was thought a crime!

That one stuck out at me because I felt like I was being personally addressed.

Quote from: Milan Kundera (The Unbearable Lightness of Being)
In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine.

Oh god that book that book that book!

Quote from: Milan Kundera
Tomas did not realize at the time that metaphors are dangerous. Metaphors are not to be trifled with. A single metaphor can give birth to love.

So, so true...

I escaped, then? Brilliant. I love it when I do that.

Quote from: The Doctor
I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.

Bapu Gandhi... his every word is clad with truth, and there was a reason he was considered Mahatma. I think these quotes not only apply to everyone here in the forums, but also offer the solution to every problems we're facing in the world. Why haven't the people practiced his wisdom en masse is a good question, but I would say that in today's world his teachings are far more effective than a prophet who died 2000 years ago.

Quote from: Mahatma Gandhi
Hate the sin, love the sinner.

A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Faith... must be enforced by reason. When faith becomes blind it dies.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

In the last 50 years we have seen brilliant inventions and discoveries, but they have not added one inch to the moral fiber of society.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unalike your Christ.

And an important one that someone from the forums reminded me of:

Quote from: Mahatma Gandhi
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
