So NS, I am doing a project in class and i don't have many quotes that would help me do this project. The project consists of a couple (2-3) quotes that has some meaning behind your life and what the quote means in context. So, it would be a big help if you guys would leave a quote that would mean something to you and an explanation behind what it means. It would be a great help!!

"I suppose that one reason I have always detested religion is its sly tendency to insinuate the idea that the universe is designed with 'you' in mind or, even worse, that there is a divine plan into which one fits whether one knows it or not. This kind of modesty is too arrogant for me."

"Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?"

The Meaning:

Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it.

Governments never learn. Only people learn.

I'm in favor of legalizing drugs. According to my values system, if people want to kill themselves, they have every right to do so. Most of the harm that comes from drugs is because they are illegal.
Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.
Every friend of freedom must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the United States into an armed camp, by the vision of jails filled with casual drug users and of an army of enforcers empowered to invade the liberty of citizens on slight evidence.

Here's to the breezez
that blows through the treezez,
that lifts the skirt,
above the kneezez,
that shows the spot
that teases,
pleases,
and spreads diseases.
what a snatch,
down the hatch.

Not really a quote, but a hilarious toast. random.

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."
-The Shawshank Redemption

This was my dad's favorite quote...sadly I lost him last July, but it's just an extra special quote to me especially moving forward. I like it's message of hope and optimism.

"I do not consider myself a religious person in the usual sense, but there is a religious aspect to some highs. The heightened sensitivity in all areas gives me a feeling of communion with my surroundings, both animate and inanimate. Sometimes a kind of existential perception of the absurd comes over me and I see with awful certainty the hypocrisies and posturing of myself and my fellow men." - carl sagan, if you want to be "that guy"

I know it seems hard sometimes, but remember one thing, through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it gets, keep your chest out, keep your head up, and handle it.

"You cant always get what you want".- My dads favorite quote also who has passed away. Its from a rolling stones song.


"I feel it's most important to keep it real and enjoy each moment, you know, take advantage of every opportunity life provides, because who knows what tomorrow may bring"- CR Johnson

"Every icy day, every deep pow day… EVERY day is a blessing. When we can appreciate every experience for all that it is, we will never need nor want more."- CR Johnson

"You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on." Tupac

"If your going to do something, do it well"- Charles Manson

"It will take a little bit of time. Its going to take a lot of effort, a lot of energy. And I'll give it that. I have to, I have to because that is what I want for my life and what I want with my life I'm willing to work for and what I'm willing to work for I'm definatly willing to achieve."- CR Johnson

“After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.” Veronica A. Shoffstall

Its not the arrow, its the indian.

Aka, don't let anyone tell you it was because you had advantages.  You figured it out, or you got whatever it was done on your own.  Take pride for what you've done, or else leave it to the sands to suck it all under.
