      There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
      --Friedrich Nietzsche, "On Reading and Writing"

      It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!
      --Friedrich Nietzsche

      The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
      --Friedrich Nietzsche

      To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.
      --Friedrich Nietzsche

      To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.
      --Friedrich Nietzsche

      Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health; everything unconditional belongs in pathology.
      --Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

      The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.
      --Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo, Foreword

          Nietzsche, can at times come across as quite mad while reading his writings. Step back and try to think about what he is saying. He was extreme in some views but there is logic in his opinions but sometimes not much compassion.

          And it makes me think of this,

          "Been around the world and found
          That only stupid people are breeding
          The cretins cloning and feeding
          And I don't even own a tv"

          Flagpole Sitter Lyrics

              Here is a new quote that I really like.
              It even allows me to do a talk dirty to me, or wanna discourse joke.

              “I’ve personally always felt that sex is the most meaningful form of discourse,” Amaranth said in a light, conversational tone. “Of course, with oral sex, it’s even more like a conversation.”

      A couple of fun ones:

      I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
      Susan B Anthony (1820-1906)
      American feminist leader and suffragist - in 1896, addressing the National American Woman Suffrage Association meeting

      "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
      -Dr. Seuss-

      And a couple to raise some goosebumps:

      "Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger."
      -- Herman Goering, during the Nuremburg trials

      "President Washington, President Lincoln, President Wilson, President Roosevelt have all authorized electronic surveillance on a far broader scale."
      Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding warrantless wiretapping of American citizens authorized by President Bush

      And one you just don't want to read, especially the last line:

      Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. ... Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history.

    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      It is one of those days dealing with government people...... Here are some quotes about their condition.
      ________________

      Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
      Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

      Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
      Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)

      Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
      Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC), The Bacchae, circa 407 B.C.

      Get all the fools on your side and you can be elected to anything.
      Frank Dane

      The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.
      Harlan Ellison (1934 - )

      There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.
      Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

      If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?
      Scott Adams (1957 - )

      Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and higher education positively fortifies it.
      Stephen Vizinczey, An Innocent Millionaire

      Lord, what fools these mortals be!
      William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Act 3 scene 2

      To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered.

      We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an
      American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin.

      But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.

      "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo
      can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when
      the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones
      at the back that are killed first This natural selection is
      good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed
      and health of the whole group keeps improving by the
      regular killing of the weakest members. In much the
      same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the
      slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we
      know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest
      and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular
      consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells,
      making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
      That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." - Cliff Clavin

    From "Secondhand Lions"

    Hub:
    Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

        Jules Winnfield: Ezekiel 25:17. 'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyrannies of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepards the weak through the valley of darkness. For he is truly his brothers' keeper and finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.' Now I've been saying that s*** for years, and if you've ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never gave much thought to what it meant, I just thought it was a cold blooded thing to say to a mother f***er before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some s*** this morning that made me think twice. Now I'm thinking it could mean you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here is the shepherd, protecting my righteous ass. Or maybe it means that you're the righteous man, and I'm the shepherd, and it's the world that's evil and selfish. Now I'd like that, but you see that s*** ain't the truth. The truth is, YOU'RE the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.

    Willard: How many people had I already killed? There was those six that I know about for sure. Close enough to blow their last breath in my face. But this time it was an American and an officer. That wasn't supposed to make any difference to me, but it did. Shit... charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500. I took the mission. What the hell else was I gonna do?
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Willard: Are you crazy God damnit? Don't you think its a little risky for some R&R?

    Kilgore: If I say its safe to surf this beach Captain, then its safe to surf this beach. I mean I'm not afraid to surf this place, I'll surf this whole fucking place!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    Kilgore: Charlie don't surf!
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Willard: Could we, uh... talk to Colonel Kurtz?

    Photojournalist: Hey, man, you don't talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas...
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Kurtz: I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving.

                      1. When someone is impatient and says, "I haven't got all day," I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?

                      2. "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

    ...Love is not love
    Which alters when it alteration finds,
    Or Bends with the remover to remove.

    That looks on tempests and is never shaken.
    It is the star to every wandering bark,
    whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

                            "Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. "

                              Love is universal migraine, A bright stain on the vision Blotting out reason.

                              Symptoms of true love Are leanness, jealousy, Laggard dawns;

                              Are omens and nightmares - Listening for a knock, Waiting for a sign:

                              For a touch of her fingers In a darkened room, For a searching look.

                              Take courage, lover! Could you endure such pain At any hand but hers?

            Just got this from my niece:

            Are you tired of those sissy 'friendship' poems that always sound good, but never
            actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no
            cutesy little Smiley faces on this card- Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

            1. When you are sad --I will jump on the person who made you sad like a spider monkey jacked up on Mountain Dew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

            3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved
            in.

            4. When you're scared -- we will high tail it out of here.

            5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining, ya big baby!!!!

            6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

            7. When you are sick --Stay away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

            8. When you fall -- I'll pick you up and dust you off.

            9. This is my oath...I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask -- because you are my FRIEND!

            Friendship is like
            peeing your pants,
            everyone can see it,
            but only you can feel the true warmth.


            Send this to 10 of your closest friends, Then get depressed because you can only think of 4.

                    "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are--it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done."

                    Damn straight I quoted Rocky Balboa!

      there is wisdom to be found in the words of our elders...
      they too walk the paths... and it is smoother going because of their passage

      If I Had My Life To Live Over
      by Erma Bombeck
      The following was written by the late author Erma Bombeck
      after she found out she had a fatal disease.

      If I had my life to live over, I would have talked less and listened more.

      I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.

      I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

      I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

      I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

      I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

      I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

      I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

      I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

      I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

      I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

      Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

      When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."

      There would have been more "I love you's".. More "I'm sorrys" ...

      But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it ... live it...and never give it back.
