Something that a friend seems to say every time we discuss trying something new and somewhat crazy/dangerous: "We could probably do that."

[mynameisuntz]

"The categories of optimism and pessimism don't exist for me. I'm a blues man. A blues man is a prisoner of hope, and hope is a qualitatively different category than optimism. Optimism is a secular construct, a calculation of probability. Hope wrestles with despair, but it doesn't generate optimism. It just generates this energy to be courageous, to bear witness, to see what the end is going to be. No guarantee, unfinished, open-ended. I'm a prisoner of hope. I'm going to die full of hope."

Thanks for that link spice, never heard of her before but her stance on sexuality/the act of is highly interesting.

And I love this:

*looks* oh. this quote?:


“Love is blind, they say; sex is impervious to reason and mocks the power of all philosophers. But, in fact, a person's sexual choice is the result and sum of their fundamental convictions. Tell me what a person finds sexually attractive and I will tell you their entire philosophy of life. Show me the person they sleep with and I will tell you their valuation of themselves. No matter what corruption they're taught about the virtue of selflessness, sex is the most profoundly selfish of all acts, an act which they cannot perform for any motive but their own enjoyment - just try to think of performing it in a spirit of selfless charity! - an act which is not possible in self-abasement, only in self-exultation, only on the confidence of being desired and being worthy of desire. It is an act that forces them to stand naked in spirit, as well as in body, and accept their real ego as their standard of value. They will always be attracted to the person who reflects their deepest vision of themselves, the person whose surrender permits them to experience - or to fake - a sense of self-esteem .. Love is our response to our highest values - and can be nothing else.”

sounds about right to me. 100% straight up truth. bang on.

[alexalive]

Yea that's the one.
Cheers for repping that dude for me too :)

[PBateman2]

Be great or be nothing.

[Chuck2600]

Something els I've come to live by, this isn't a quote but just something I've picked up from my few years of experience.

Be self sufficient, rely on NOONE. No matter how close you might be to someone or how high of morals a person may have never rely on someones word. Most of the time a person will protect their own interests if it means going breaking a promise.

Surprisingly this works. Convincing yourself otherwise I mean.

I remember going for a max deadlift once and kept telling myself there was only 220lbs on the bar, when there was probably about 150lbs more on it. Felt like 220lbs still lol

Read Atlas Shrugged, it is a great book even if your philosophical views don't necessarily coincide with hers.

I've been doing this one since I can remember. I even wrote an ethic paper based on this back in college.

Funny how you posted both of these. (Measly reps for the coincidence)

Dunno if it's been posted but my Dad said that to me when I was young and it's always stuck with me. Most motivational quotes/movies/pics just brush off on me after about 2 mins.
