- feelgood quotes
Is it only me or there are others that hate those feelgood quotes, found in this site. They go all about how you can get happiness and live your life better and blah blah blah. Yeah thanks a lot for that, we really needed it, like we don't have a clue on what will make us happy. And the funny thing is that every one of them gives a different advice altogether. Like, which one do we choose, dude? Do all of them work? If so then why are there so many unhappy people?
Waking Life
- Super Chimpanzee
The most advanced technologies and craftsmanship bring us, at best, up to the super-chimpanzee level. Actually, the gap between, say, Plato or Nietzsche and the average human is greater than the gap between that chimpanzee and the average human. The realm of the real spirit, the true artist, the saint, the philosopher, is rarely achieved.
Waking Life
- Self awareness
Before you drift off, don't forget. Which is to say, remember. Because remembering is so much more a psychotic activity than forgetting. Lorca, in that same poem, said that the iguana will bite those who do not dream. And as one realizes, that one is a dream figure in another person's dream, that is... self awareness.
Waking Life
- Lorca poem
"On this bridge," Lorca warns, "life is not a dream. Beware. And beware. And beware." And so many think because Then happened, Now isn't. But didn't I mention the ongoing "wow" is happening right now? We are all co-authors of this dancing exuberance where even our inabilities are having a roast. We are the authors of ourselves, co-authoring a gigantic Dostoevsky novel, starring clowns.
Jim Morisson
- Jim Morisson live at stage quote
Alright! Alright! Alright! Hey, listen! Listen, man! Listen, man! I don't know how many you people believe in astrology... Yeah, that's right... that's right, baby, I ... I am a Sagittarious myself. The most philosophical of all signs. But anyway, I don't believe in it, I think it's a bunch of bullshit. But I tell you this, man, I tell you this. I don't know what's gonna happen man, but I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames!
The Doors
- Names Of The Kingdom
We came down the rivers and highways, we came down from forests and falls, we came down from Carson and Springfield, we came down from Phoenix enthralled. And I can tell you the names of the Kingdom, I can tell you the things that you know. Listening for a fistful of silence, climbing valleys into the shade.
