So you think I'm a loser? Just because I have a stinking job that I hate, a family that doesn't respect me, a whole city that curses the day I was born? Well, that may mean loser to you, but let me tell you something. Every morning when I wake up, I know it's not going to get any better until I go back to sleep again. So I get up, have my watered-down Tang and still-frozen Pop Tart, get in my car with no upholstery, no gas, and six more payments to fight traffic just for the privilege of putting cheap shoes on the cloven hooves of people like you. I'll never play football like I thought I would. I'll never know the touch of a beautiful woman. And I'll never again know the joy of driving without a bag on my head. But I'm not a loser. 'Cause, despite it all, me and every other guy who'll never be what he wanted to be are still out there being what we don't want to be forty hours a week for life. And the fact that I haven't put a gun in my mouth, you pudding of a woman, makes me a winner. - Al Bundy

Or how about a very appropriate one sitewise :
"Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times..."

Both quotes from the great Mark Twain(/Samuel Langhorne Clemens) of course.

"This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!"

"I rather like this God fellow. He's very theatrical, you know, a pestilence here, a plague there. Omnipotence. Gotta get me some of that."

Some Zizek:

Who dares to strike today,when having the security of a permanent job is itself becoming a privilege?

The only appropriate stance is unconditional solidarity with all victims.

It is the ultimate irony of history that radical individualism serves as the ideological justification of the unconstrained power of what the large majority of individuals experience as a vast anonymous power, which, without any democratic public control, regulates their lives.

Think about the strangeness of today's situation. Thirty, forty years ago, we were still debating about what the future will be: communist, fascist, capitalist, whatever. Today, nobody even debates these issues. We all silently accept global capitalism is here to stay. On the other hand, we are obsessed with cosmic catastrophes: the whole life on earth disintegrating, because of some virus, because of an asteroid hitting the earth, and so on. So the paradox is, that it's much easier to imagine the end of all life on earth than a much more modest radical change in capitalism.

“He who waits for the sword to fall upon his neck will surely lose his head.”
Stephen R. Donaldson,some more(@DDave:tup:) from one of my favourite authors .

"In the beginning there was darkness,and the darkness was without form and void.
And in addition to the darkness there was also me.
And I moved upon the face of the darkness.
And I saw that I was alone...let there be light."
The bomb in Dark Star,always loved that bit :lol::

Some more Phil Ochs:

But our land is still troubled by men who have to hate
They twist away our freedom & they twist away our fate
Fear is their weapon and treason is their cry
We can stop them if we try

"I ought to put that in. You're going to return fire to the gods?"
"Yeah.With interest."
:D
From a conversation between Cohen the Barbarian and the minstrel the Silver Horde kidnapped to chronicle their saga in The Last Hero.
(The fire in question being a large sled packed with explosive Agatean Thunder Clay...;))

"The Hashishim, who derived their name from the vast quantities of hashish they consumed, were unique among vicious killers in being both deadly and, at the same time, inclined to giggle, groove to interesting patterns of light and shade on their terrible knife blades and, in extreme cases, fall over."
From Sourcery also by Terry Pratchett of course.:)
