Timeé · 03-28-2006, 11:56 PM

okay so i think a thread for your favourite quotes would be good.

I'm not talking the full bloody sha*bang here i mean just 1 or 2 or three (pushing it) liners.

Im not talking Mahatma Gandhi chapter twelve on how to live your life
Or the whole Martin Luther King speech.

I mean :

*i didnt know whether to s*hit or go blind* - angela's ashes

The Handsome Familly-
"Listen to me, Butterfly, there's only so much wine, that you can drink, in one life, but it will never be enough, to save you from, the bottom of your glass."

Alalabama 3- it's long, sorry tim
"For whatever reason you refuse to feel this space we're in, to know its insanity, really know it; whatever your particular anesthetic is, that you hold onto so desperately (the thing, I mean, that makes you think you know who you are); whatever that thing is you allow to keeps you sane, your ace in the hole, the psyche that keeps you trying to guess what your pimp has in store for you; whatever keeps you from screaming out at this very moment in absolute and sheer horror; whatever you **** your brain with; whatever that is— whatever that is— It's a lie"

Patrick Wolf-
"Be your own hero, be your own savior, throw all ur suffering into the fire"

"if you're brave enough you'll just let it happen
if youre brave enough you'll just succumb"

Scott Mutter-
"We come from beyond,
and we go from whence we came,
courting the hands of time.

We are bound by nothing"

i love this thread.

"why the **** is this day taking so long?" Damien Rice
"..And I walk what I talk and I walk never ran

Human life is so precious it could never be measured.." MURS (hehe i like rap)

"to think i might not see those eyes makes it so hard not to cry" Snow Patrol

"i can change the world with my own two hands. make a better place with my own two hands" Ben Harper

"what i am to you is not real. what i am to you, you do not need" Damien Rice

"b*tches ain't ****, but hoes and tricks" Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg

"...Ain't nothing go right with me
Must be I've been smoking too long.

Well when I'm smoking
Put my worries on a shelf
Don't think about nothin'
Try not to see myself...

..Don't go around smokin'
Unless you want to get burned." Sorry that was a long one with random parts from the song called "been smoking too long" by Nick Drake.

one final one...
