What is a quote you really like?
This was a different question, but I figured it out on my own. So now I am asking about favorite quotes. Fluther needs a delete option.

“The will of the capitalist is certainly to take as much as possible. What we have to do is not to talk about his will, but to enquire about his power, the limits of that power, and the character of those limits.”
-Karl Marx
“By Grabthar’s hammer,by the sons of Warvan, you shall be anvenged.”
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
— George Bernard Shaw
I like this quote by Franz Werfel “Without inwardness there can be no external world, and without imagination there can be no reality”.
“Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.” Attributed to Pliny.
1 Corinthians 13:4–7: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

@ragingloli Have read this book, “Alice” by Christina Henry? If not then I think that you would enjoy it very much. It’s a brutal journey where a young skinny girl (Alice) uses magic to very violently kill and cripple the many powerful bad men who abuse and torture women and girls for their sexual pleasures. A story of dugs, darkness, magic of pure madness.

But me, I expected it to happen
I knew he’d lost control
When he built a fire on Main Street
And shot it full of holes

“You know what’s annoying me about this kid who killed this CEO? None of these news programs are talking about the incredible lack of empathy from the general public about this is because of how these insurance treat people when they’re at their most vulnerable, after we’ve all given them our money every fuckin’ month, and now we need you, and all you do is deny us.
These pussies in all these things are taking the pictures of their CEOs off their websites, I gotta be honest with you, okay? I love that fuckin’ CEOs are fuckin’ afraid right now. You should be. By and large, you’re all a bunch of selfish, greedy, fuckin’ pieces of shit, and a lot of you are mass murderers. You just don’t pull the trigger. That’s why it looks clean.”
– Bill Burr
I love Bill Burr. If you have a chance, watch his specials on Netflix.

My Country,
I only looked too far ahead and too high up and when I finally looked back behind me I saw you and Yeon. My Country was one step behind me. If only I had known that sooner. (It’s how I feel about my family. They are my everything, they are my country)
It’s why I have this on my story page. I think both of them center me.
” From humanism via nationalism to bestiality.”
Franz Grillparzer
Before you come alive, life is nothing; it ‘s up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing else but the meaning that you choose.
I can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I
am still choosing.
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

“From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.”
