This is a collection of various things I've used as .signatures, and also just a collection of various quotes from usenet/mailing lists etc. And here are some links to other pages of quotes I like, most of these ppl are frineds of mine. I'm also quoted on some of these :) enjoy! "We are all addicted to something stranger than ourselves" - Jeff Noon "We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dream" "In here all of my dreams become realities and some of my realities become dreams" "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men" "We are dreamers, shapers, singers and makers" - Technomage (Babylon 5)
It's all too much, too grim, too lovely. Sandro - it's Saturday, 1:30am, Farinelli is on telly, utterly surreal situation, more booze than blood in the veins, and the only question should be: Do You Know Where Your Children Are? I guess it depends one whether one defines idealism or the ikea nesting instinct as maturity... -loki Television is one big advertisment for the way other people want society to be. "Theres is no name for the love I have for the peculiar combination of wetsuits, semolina and four caps of MDMA." -entrippy on acg "The greatest mistake the Lord ever made was to give me breasts and intelligence" -Kate "Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this."
"if music were a drug, where would it take you?" "First star on the right and straight on til morning" - Peter Pan
"Here you live and die by your words. Nothing more, nothing less. "Orange is the colour of my Revolution"
"The only reason to walk that road is the hope that somewhere along
the line you will meet someone else travelling the other way, and walk
together for a time."
"Tho' we are not now that strength which in old days"
We all take speed and we're all going to die, but we have a few more years and we will be happy. We don't want to live more than a few more years, and while we live it will live it as we are: stupid, blind, loving, talking, being together,kidding, propping one another up and ratifying the good things in one another. No group of people can be this happy. We knew we were ignoring some fundamental aspect of reality, such as for example money, or in my case sleep. Soon it will catch up with us. That's all one can really hope for, I think, to be happy awhile
and remember it."
"The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain."
"The way to a man's heart is through his chest"
"It just seems right and correct that it should be happening now, at this space in time.
Right here and right now being the end of the century, the non-existent year double-zero. The year where trend itself is outdated, and there is no mode."
"And the moral of this story is never lean on the weird. Or they will chop your head off. And perverts will eat your brains." - Hunter S. Thompson Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun. "There is nothing quite so satisfying as a morally justifiable act of violence" "live. do the maximum of things before you die, because we cannot know for sure if you'll get a second chance." -jraff on acg
"So, do I think sex is like a pizza? Well, no. If it was, that'd mean
I'd only be able to eat Small Vegetarians. ;)"
"I don't watch TV. It's a cultural wasteland filled with inappropriate
metaphors and an unrealistic portrayal of life created by the liberal
media elite."
"It was half way to Rivendell when the drugs began to take hold"
"I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Blue Screen. Blue Screen leads
to
downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the
darkside."
"There's no problem so large it can't be solved by killing the user
off, deleting their files, closing their
account and reporting their REAL earnings to the IRS"
"we fought against the empire of heaven. We were - that I will not
deny - vanquished in that conflict: yet the great intention was not
lacking in nobility. Something or other gave them victory; to us
remains the glory of dauntless daring. And even if my troop fell
thence vanquished, yet to have atempted a lofty enterprise is still a
trophy." i just love having an ultra chic dysfunctional family. we're like the simpsons. except with more knife fights. - #gothic "oh, I'm sorry WEBMISTRESS, I've been bad, I've been using Windows"

maniac.
Strange memories of this nervous nite in Abyss...The Great Melbourne Acid wave of five, six years ago.. It seemed like a life time, or at least a main era. The kind of peak that never comes agian. Melbourne in the middle 90's was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something, maybe not... In the long run. But no explanation, no mix of words can touch that sense of knowing that you were there, and were alive, in that corner of time in the world. Whatever it meant. But I was absolutely certain that no matter which way I went I would come to a place where people were just as high and wild as I was..And it was madness in any direction, and any hour. You could strike sparks everywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense, that whatever we were doing was *right* and we were winning. and that I think, was the handle, Thats sense of inevitable victory of the forces of old and evil. Not in an mean, or military sense, we didnt need that, Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point fighting on our side or theirs, We had all the momentum, We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. SO know, Less that 5 years later, You could go up on a steep hill in Melbourne and look west, and with the right kind of eyes, you could almost see the high water mark. That place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back....
"Magic, for me, is a working technology
for exploring alternate realities, breaking
down behavioral programs, coming to an
understanding with Death and having a
laugh."
"Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of
death."
"I thought having my own webpage was special till I discovered my deodorant has it's own webpage..."
"Pooh?"
------- Barbarella >*swiftly hiding money behind back* Wha...?? Who me?? I arr.... hell no... I was just errr... *looking* at all this money... wasn't planning on *doing* anything with it.. y'know, like, *buying* stuff with it.... Nooo... never crossed my mind... at all! Never even stopped to think how good a life-sized Neef Doll with real hair, warm-to-the-touch skin, authentic tattoos & piercings, mega-soundbyte vocabulary, moveable limbs, removeable clothes, DJ accessory kit, Drug Insertion Option, snooze button, drink card, credit card, video playback, humour modulator, added sugar, more than 3.7 standard drinks per serve, "long play" (*ahem*) and a lifetime supply of batteries would look sitting up in my bed tormenting the cat, admiring my books, mixing a martini and patting the pillows down. NEVER GAVE IT A THOUGHT, I TELL YOU! At. All.
-Trayce and Barbarella on acg
There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
Life's like a movie, write your own ending
"...because if the 90s have taught us anything, its that soundbites
are
more valid than discussion."
This sounds like the kind of conversation two people can only have
when one of them is female
"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids,we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989
You are not your label. You are not a unique and beautiful Vampire. --Solitaire in ACG "HTML's a cheap whore.

Haven't Already Witnessed Evidence Of A Sense Of Humour."

"Because I know when I'm out dancing, the best thing
in the world is when a complete stranger comes up and

beautiful women having sex on your bed :)
"I love syphilis more than I love you"
See, I would have been more than happy with the prettiness, if only
they
hadn't led me on like a tawdry trollop through the early parts of the
film,
promising a cerebral blow job, only to leave me blue-balled through
the
second half while that painted jezebelle slowly injected my awaiting
member
with medical grade anesthetic.
(cut dialogue from the next movie)

"And just at that instance there rose from the bowels of the earth a

of this world, the light of many suns in one."
What if the Hokey-Pokey really is what it's all about?

And I'm blaming Truckosaurus for all the noise in my wall. I
think it's
captured Phillip Glass and is consuming his body in order to
subsume his
knowledge of avant-garde minimalist music. Any other
explanation just seems
unlikely, somehow.
