From the most awesome film EVER (Harold and Maude):

Maude: I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower would you like to be?
Harold: I don't know. One of these, maybe.
Maude: Why do you say that?
Harold: Because they're all alike.
Maude: Oooh, but they're *not*. Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All *kinds* of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are *this*,
[she points to a daisy]
Maude: yet allow themselves be treated as *that*.
[she gestures to a field of daisies]

Maude: Vice, Virtue. It's best not to be too moral. You cheat yourself out of too much *life*. Aim above morality. If you apply that to life, then you're bound to live life fully.

Maude: You know, at one time, I used to break into pet shops to liberate the canaries. But I decided that was an idea way before its time. Zoos are full, prisons are overflowing... oh my, how the world still dearly loves a cage.


I wanna be just like her :pinkbeat:

Love that movie.  Would you belive my mom was the one to tell me to watch t when I was 14.  She is like Maude :laugh:

I want meet your mum!  :P I only met one old lady who was/is like that.  She is the grandmother of a close friend I used to have and is one of the most amazing people I have ever met.  She must be one of the few women over 70 in Poland that are not strict Roman Catholic  :laugh: Plus she still goes to protests and demonstrations!  I adore her completely.

^Hanging on the telephone  :headbang2:



I chop and I change and the mystery thickens
There's blood on my hands and you want me to listen
To brawn and to brain when the truth's in the middle
Born of the grain like all good riddles


You kill when you talk and the enemy weakens
Your words start to walk when you're not even speaking
If my heart is a war it's soldiers are bleeding
If my heart is a war it's soldiers are dead

(you're a bitter malignous person)
(and your death is well overdue)
(you suck the blood that kills you)
(you kiss the hand that hates you)

Echo & the Bunnymen <3

Echo & The Bunnymen es muy bueno! :headbang2:
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

Quote
"Freewill"
There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance take,
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance.

A planet of playthings,
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
"The stars aren't aligned,
Or the gods are malign..."
Blame is better to give than receive.

Chorus
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand,
The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in Lotusland.

All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate.
Kicked in the face,
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate.

Chorus

Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete.
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.

Chorus
By Rush

I think I've posted this somewhere, but didn't see it specifically in here.

"Bethlehem is full of misconceptions!" -The Spent Poets

One of the most brilliant lines ever!
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems
