"And then, something happened. I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom."

xxx "Every generation wants to be the last. Every generation hates the next trend in music they can't understand. We hate to give up those reins of our culture. To find our own music playing in elevators. The ballad for our revolution, turned into background music for a television commercial. To find our generation's clothes and hair suddenly retro." -Chuck Palahniuk

“Because what’s the point in them being happy now if you know they’re going to be sad later? The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later.” - The Doctor, Doctor Who

The scariest thing about killing people is getting used to it! When you kill someone and realize you won't be punished... That's when people forget all about punishment! — Rentarou Satomi, Black Bullet

Ittarius “Because what’s the point in them being happy now if you know they’re going to be sad later? The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later.” - The Doctor, Doctor Who I like that one. You should totally read Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

xxx "Long before there were men on this globe, all the crystals grew within the earth's crust. Then came a day when, for the very first time, a human being perceived one of these glittering fragments of regularity; or maybe he struck against it with his stone ax; it broke away and fell at his feet; then he picked it up and gazed at it lying there in his open hand. And he marveled.
xxx There is something breathtaking about the basic laws of crystals. They are in no sense a discovery of the human mind; they just 'are'- they exist quite independently of us. The most that man can do is to become aware, in a moment of clarity, that they are there, and take cognizance of them." -M.C. Escher

xxx "'From a drop of water,' said the writer, 'a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the Science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can only be acquired by long and patient study nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it. Before turning to those moral and mental aspects of the matter which present the greatest difficulties, let the enquirer begin by mastering more elementary problems. Let him, on meeting a fellow-mortal, learn at a glance to distinguish the history of the man, and the trade or profession to which he belongs. Puerile as such an exercise may seem, it sharpens the faculties of observation, and teaches one where to look and what to look for. By a man's finger nails, by his coat-sleeve, by his boot, by his trouser knees, by the callosities of his forefinger and thumb, by his expression, by his shirt cuffs - by each of these things a man's calling is plainly revealed. That all united should fail to enlighten the competent enquirer in any case is almost inconceivable.'" -Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"Love is one of the most intense feelings felt by man; another is hate. Forcing yourself to feel indiscriminate love is very unnatural. If you try to love everyone you only lessen your feelings for those who deserve your love. Repressed hatred can lead to many physical and emotional aliments. By learning to release your hatred towards those who deserve it, you cleanse yourself of these malignant emotions and need not take your pent-up hatred out on your loved ones." - Anton Lavey, The Satanic Bible; The Book of Lucifer
"Love your enemies and do good to those that hate and use you - Is this not the philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon it's back while kicked? / Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, smash him on the other!; smite him hip and thigh, for self preservation is the highest law! / He who turns the other cheek is a cowardly dog!" - Anton Lavey, The Satanic Bible; The Book of Satan, 3-6, 3-7, & 3-8
