one of the most amazing things i've ever heard or read was this. it's the begining of the song 'The Dead Flag Blues' by Godspeed You! Black Emperor'.. it's just beautiful, though it might seem a bit depressing.. but i love it!

 

 

The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel

and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides

and a dark wind blows

the government is corrupt

and we're on so many drugs

with the radio on and the curtains drawn

 

we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine

and the machine is bleeding to death

 

the sun has fallen down

and the billboards are all leering

and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

 

it went like this:

the buildings tumbled in on themselves

mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble

and pulled out their hair

 

the skyline was beautiful on fire

all twisted metal stretching upwards

everything washed in a thin orange haze

 

i said: "kiss me, you're beautiful these are truly the last days"

 

you grabbed my hand and we fell into it

like a daydream or a fever

 

we woke up one morning and fell a little further down for sure it's the valley of death

 

i open up my wallet

and it's full of blood

"Don't Quote Me,"

-Mike Piazza

 

he is a great man

Hey dude..you reckon she's good to go?

stop saying dude

why?

what did you mean though

"The very essence of romance is uncertainity. If ever I get married I will certainly try to forget the fact"

Oscar Wilde :)

"I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "Fuck you." I'm positive, in fact."

 

 

 

---From The Catcher in the Rye. My all-time favorite book ever.

Is it getting better?

Or do you feel the same?

Will it make it easier on you now?

You got someone to blame

You say

One love

One life

When it's one need

In the night

One love

We get to share it

Leaves you baby if you

Don't care for it

 

Did I disappoint you?

Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?

You act like you never had love

And you want me to go without

Well it's

 

Too late

Tonight

To drag the past out into the light

We're one, but we're not the same

We get to

carry each other

hurry each other

One

 

Have you come here for forgiveness?

Have you come to raise the dead?

Have you come here to play Jesus?

To the lepers in your head

 

Did I ask too much?

More than a lot.

You gave me nothing,

Now it's all I got

We're one

But we're not the same

Well we

Hurt each other

Then we do it again

You say

Love is a temple

Love a higher law

Love is a temple

Love the higher law

You ask me to enter

But then you make me crawl

And I can't be holding on

To what you got

When all you've got is hurt

 

One love

One blood

One life

You got to do what you should

One life

With each other

Sisters

Brothers

One life

But we're not the same

We get to

Carry each other

Carry each other

 

One...

One...

 

lyrics of the best song ever by Bono

huh, i got a lot of favourite quotes, but the last one's i heard that i liked was from modest mouse

 

"Where do circles begin"

i've got so many, from music and movies but to start, simple quotes:

 

...

 

* imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality ~ jules de gaultier.

 

* music expressed that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent ~ victor hugo

 

* after silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music ~ aldous huxley

 

and one of my favs...

 

* music is the shorthand of emotion ~ leo tolstoy

"Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live" - Henry Van Dyke.

 

"Examine what is said, not him who speaks" - Arabian Proverb.

"I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "Fuck you." I'm positive, in fact."

 

 

 

---From The Catcher in the Rye. My all-time favorite book ever.

 

 

This is my all-time favorite book too. The book is full with great phrases.

It's pretty simple a quote.

 

"Nobody dies a Virgin,Life FUCKS everyone."

^ :lol:

 

It just crossed my mind a quote I had in my signature...

" Everybody wants to go to Heaven and yet no one wants to die"

I forgot who is it from...but it's unbelievably true :)

I don't think that anyone will get that, but my favourite quote so far is this one:

 

 

I can't be...

I can't just be someone you snog when you're depressed

I agree with Lana, especially the "Kiss me your beautiful, these are truely the last days" bit. The way the guy says it is just brilliant :nice:

 

Misunderstood Rose by Serj Tankian

 

"I can feel you far away,

Your hesitation matching mine,

Sadness left as the residue of uncomprimising love

Between the blind seeking the adoration of blind doorways,

And sweet melodic voices, dispersed by the wind,

Arrested in the park,

I can feel you far away,

With your earth blue eyes,

Catching the waves of unkown oceans, not born,

Harvesting the seeds of torn lullabies,

In disguise fought behind the lines,

Your grief matching mine,

Touching glasses, toasting the totality of all time

When lovers fought behind the lines of red wine

Pouring from the gashes left behing by the sweet petals

Of a misunderstood rose"

 

That and, " I know where I'm going, I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be, I'm free to be what I want"- Muhammed Ali
