After reading Catbird's post on the TC thread: "Those who seek consolation in existing churches often pay for their peace of mind with a tacit agreement to ignore a great deal of what is known about the way the world works." --Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.Nikki, I'm curious, what in my post brought that to mind? Trust me, I won't be offended. (Or maybe we need to PM or go back to the Tom Cruise thread, either way is cool.) Is it sad that I'm leaning towards Rodgers and Hammerstein for theology? From The King and I, sparked by the puzzlement over discrepancies between various western books. (OK, I giggle throughout this scene in the movie if only for Yul Brynner saying "I think your Moses shall have been a fool!" right around the same time as The Ten Commandments, but that's just me.) It's still a powerful quote: "Your Majesty, the Bible was written not by men of science, but by men of faith. It was their explanation for the miracle of creation, which is the same miracle whether it took six days or many centuries."And, I've referenced this before, but just to get it on the quotes page: "Who am I to make fun of what somebody believes? But if their behavior is destructive or hypocritical, it's fair game." --Stephen Colbert--Catbird

I love your teacher's quotes, DeLani, especially the one about standing out And I'm glad you like the Davey quotes. I'm an old time AFI fan, and one of the ones who likes everything they do. I have a lot more funny Dave quotes if you like, but for right now I have one great one from Fat Mike of NOFX to a fan regarding some of his Anti-Bush statements: "I'm not saying we should start a revolution, but I do think that each of us has to take responsibility for our actions. There are plenty of things that are f*cked up that can be fixed. You don't need revolution, but a little evolution would be nice." -- Fat Mike thanks!! i just got into AFI recently, but I'm already planning on buying the CD (when i get into an artist, i usually buy their first CD so i know the "history" haha I'm a nerd). and i LOVE NOFX. Esp. the song "Cool and Unusual Punishment". haha. "It's so weird, you guys. I had this milkshake, and all these boys came into my yard........," -- Kyle Cease **Did you bring the buttfor? What's a buttfor? For pooping, silly!** --from South Park (i know I have a 12 year old's sense of humor) "When a child is spoon fed, all they learn is the shape of the spoon," -- my teacher (he is just chock full of quotes)

Oooh, oooh, Groucho Marx:
"A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere."
"A man's only as old as the woman he feels."
"Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife."
"Go, and never darken my towels again."
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."

---Sammy Davis, Jr.
- "Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theatre."

thanks for the Godwin quote!! "Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once" --Shakespeare's Julius Caesar "I had this milkshake, and all these boys came into my yard....." Kyle Cease "Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think," -- La Bruyere "Always do what you are afraid to do." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson "Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall," --Confucius "What have we done with innocence? It disappeared with time...it never made much sense," -- Foo Fighters "I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it," -- Edgar Allan Poe JARET from Bowling For Soup quotes....he's hilarious DO you think that the late Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead is still is grateful that he is dead, or do you think he sold out? How many people wish they would just have a plane set up somewhere at the airport so we could practice sliding down the big yellow inflatable slide…You put a kiddie pool at the end of that thing, and you have an entire afternoon of fun…AND we are all going to have experience if we ever really need the thing. Remember to take your shoes off. You don’t want to ruin the fun for everyone.– Jaret
