[Johnny Bravo]

"Well, life is (too short), so love the one you got
'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot
Never start no static I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity
Love is what I got
It's within my reach
And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you'll finally get what you deserve
Try and test that you're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, now remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got" - Sublime

 

[Watcher]

"
Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a dalmatian, and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot

Well, life is (too short), so love the one you got
'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot
Never start no static I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity
Love is what I got
It's within my reach
And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you'll finally get what you deserve
Try and test that you're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, now remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got

(That's) why I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock
Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, now remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I got I got I got" - Sublime

 

[Pope Gregory IX]

From Glengarry Glenross: "Nice guy? I don't give a fuck. You want to work here? Close!"

"Good father? FUCK YOU go home and play with your kids"

"Interest! Are you interested? I know you are because it's fuck or walk - you close or you hit the bricks"

I have that speech as an audio file on my phone. Must have listened to it a good few hundred times by now. Love it.

[Moogsy]

Something I heard in a management class of all places that killed the "white knight" in me forever.

"People will only do what they want to do. If they see no reason to want to do it, they won't do it. To change a person, you must first change what they want or no change will occur. If they actively don't want to change, you may as well be talking to a wall"

This changed the kind of people I was dating/associating with almost overnight, but I think it applies to the stars of this forum especially well.

Edit: That quote and avatar combo, Lucky, you get a gold star from me. "Help me Marina!!!"

Love with your mouth shut. Help without breaking your ass or publicizing it. Keep cool but care.

[GS 281]

If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all; then we shall experience no petty, limited, selfish joy, but our happiness will belong to millions, our deeds will live on quietly but perpetually at work, and over our ashes will be shed the hot tears of noble people.

-Karl Marx

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.
