"There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce." -Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)

"If we wish to know the force of human genius we should read Shakespeare. If we wish to see the insignificance of human learning we may study his commmentators." -William Hazlett

"A bad marriage is like an electric thrilling machine: it makes you dance, but you can't let go." -Ambrose Bierce

"Hell is full of musical amateurs. Music is the brandy of the damned." -GB Shaw

"War is the usual condition of Europe. A thirty years' supply of causes of war is always on hand." -FA Kropotkin

"What came first, the music or the misery? Did I listen to music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to music? Do all those records turn you into a melancholy person?
People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss. The unhappiest people I know, romantically speaking, are the ones who like pop music the most; and I don't know whether pop music has caused this unhappiness, but I do know that they've been listening to the sad songs longer than they've been living the unhappy lives."
-Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. that way you have his shoes too and you are far enough that he can't run after you. i mean, come on, he has no shoes!

-Mark Twain

"If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends."

"The world sucks, but then again if it didn't, we'd all fall off."

"All divination resembles an attempt by a man born blind to obtain sight by getting blind drunk." -Aleister Crowley

"As to you, sir, treacherous to private friendship...and a hypocrite in public life, the world will be puzzled to decide whether you are an apostate or an imposter, whether you have abandoned good principles or whether you ever had any." -Thomas Paine, letter to George Washington, 1796

"The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice heretofore little known in an American army, is growing into fashion. He hopes the officers will, by example as well as by influence, endeavor to check it, and that both they and the men will reflect that we can have little hope of the blessings of Heaven on our arms if we insult it by our impiety and folly." -George Washington, General Order to the Continental Army, 1776

That sounds amazingly like something Joan of Arc would say (and frequently did)...

@Loner, I could understand it in Jeanne d'Arc, since she was a mystic with a sword, but there was nothing mystical about George.
