These are some philosophies and words that aren't mine. I'm going to regurgitate them now, as if they hold any meaning whatsoever out of context.

• "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." -- George Bernard Shaw
• "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -- Gandhi
• "I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible." -- Nietzsche
• "The weight of the world is love." -- Allen Ginsberg
• "The only people for me are the mad ones." -- Kerouac
• "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological killer." -- Albert Einstein
• "There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live." -- Dumas
• "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. -- Galileo Galilei
• "The art was in learning to spend your life with someone, in having the courage to be creative with someone, to melt each other's souls to molten temperatures and let them flow together in an alloy that could withstand the world." -- Poppy Z. Brite
• "Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
• "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." -- Eleanor Roosevelt
• "Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights - the "right" to education, the "right" to health care, the "right" to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery - hay and a barn for human cattle. There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -- P.J. O'Rourke
• "No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the sources of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power." -- P.J. O'Rourke
• "Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh." -- George Bernard Shaw
• "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying." -- Woody Allen
• " "Why bother? I was right all along: the second you make yourself vulnerable to someone, they start drawing blood." -- Poppy Z. Brite
• "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern." -- William Blake
• "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." -- Plato
• "There are no bad drugs, just bad users." -- Dr. Andrew Weil
• "Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind." -- Leonardo DaVinci
• "I do not take drugs. I am drugs." -- Salvador Dali
• "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." -- Thomas Jefferson
• "Computers are useless. They can only give you answers." -- Pablo Picasso
• "That man has missed something who has never left a brothel at sunrise feeling like throwing himself into the river out of pure disgust."-- Gustave Flaubert
• "He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star." -- William Blake
• "Intelligence is the ultimate aphrodisiac." -- Timothy Leary

Take me back to the junk.
Home, and fast.
