Deep and meaningful quotes.

[stabbymcstab]

Don't remember a thread being made on this topic, and I think it would be fun to discuss. What is the most meaningful sentence/lyric/quote you have heard? You can choose to explain what you interpret the meaning as, or you could just leave it open for interpretation. It can be about anything, but extra points for 'meaning of existence' type quotes, remember to reference so people can delve deeper if they wish.

First one I can think of is:

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to life an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here - Tool, Right in Two, 10,000 Days.

[Rob]

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones
you did do."

-Mark Twain

[Ox]

[Kenneh]

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

-Jules, quoting Ezekiel 25:17, from Pulp Fiction.

[Ox]

Personally, although I am in no way religious, I really like the 23rd Psalm:

"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever."

I find it reassuring and comforting and I don't even believe in God.

[CharlieH]

"And when he gets to Heaven,
Saint Peter he will tell,
One more soldier Reporting, Sir
I've served my term in hell"

It's on MOH: Frontline, right before the Normandy beach storming. I can't remember who it is by though. Wyatt might know.

[Apple Juice]

"The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up"
- Magizine I read

"Being Sorry is just an excuse to do it again"
- Someone from work who got it from someone else

[Zumbunny]

"anyone who clings to the historically untrue and throughly immoral doctrine that violence never solves anything i would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon and the duke of wellington and let them fight it out. The ghost of Hitler can referee. Violence and naked force have solved more issues in history than any other factor. The contrary is wishful thinking at it's best."

i dont' remember who it is by but i love the quote.

[Zumbunny]

Squirrel who runs up woman's leg will not find nuts.
Man with hole in pocket feels cocky all day.
Virginity like bubble, one prick all gone.
You have one advantage over me, you can kiss my ass and I can't.
life isnt a garden so stop being a hoe.
when ya got em' by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.
Don't think of yourself as an ugly person, just a beautiful monkey.

[Mr Anorexia]

"Under moments of stress, you forget so easily the lies, the truth and the pain."

-Nick Drake

[Spastic]

"No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve in quality as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing it is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them."
- Alan Watts

[ne3]

"No human being is wise enough nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power."

-Nfi

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones
you did do."

-Mark Twain

The first quote that popped into my head echoes the same sentiment, albeit with a slightly different attitude:

"Well son, the funny thing about regret is,
it's better to regret something you have done,
than to regret something you haven't done.
And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend,
be sure and tell her, SATAN, SATAN, SATAN!!!"

-Butthole Surfers, from the song Sweat Loaf

[teh_kyle00]

"20 years from now, your hairstyle, clothes, friends you had won't matter. What matters is what you learned and how used it." - My teacher, Mrs. Evans (Algebra) from some poster.

[teh_kyle00]

I also like this Sum 41 quote from "Still Waiting"

"What have we done
We're in a war that cant be won
This cant be real
I don't know what to feel

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in"

[Ox]

"Yeah, but I will have a degree and you'll be servin' my kids fries at a drive-thru on our way to a skiing trip."

"That may be, but at least I won't be unoriginal."
- Matt Damon (who'd have thought it?!), Good Will Hunting

What, emo being something other than gangster rap? Sum 41 are about as emo as smiling in pictures. But they're not quotable. Shitty chick flicks no guy should ever be forced to watch however, can be. For example;

'Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist, wrapped in blood!'
-Larry, Closer.

[KilTehEmos911]

"What do you mean, 'God doesn't have a sense of humor'!? God made the French!"

also, this thread is tagged as serious. I'm surprised that an Explosm forum even HAS a serious tag.

[ArKaiN]

Not all love stories are chick flicks. Closer's actually pretty quotable, and pretty damn good.
"Anna: Why is the sex so important?
Larry: Because I'm a fucking caveman!"

Sum 41:
"If nothing could ever be this real (be this real)
A life unsatisfied that I could never feel(I could never feel)
(Some say)This futures not so bright
Some can't make the sacrifice
It's much more than just black and white
And I won't fall"
It's emo, dude. Give up.

[almightybob]

"Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?"

-Forrest Gump

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." --Albert Einstein

[Quadros]

That's a song about the way politics is going in North America, and the need for radical change. It's entirely un-emo. In an attempt to rescue man points from the dabcle of my last quote:

[adriel]

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." --Theodore

[Souldrinker]

Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. - Sir Winston Churchill

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Sir Winston Churchill

It means Seizure night. :dance:

[ArKaiN]

It means "Seize the night" not "Seizure night". Carpe Diem is a phrase commonly associated with the free love philosophy, meaning to enjoy one's life. Go read a book.
Edit-My bad, I confused unfunnyness with ignorance.

He was kidding. It was a pun.

No offence but your post really wasn't necessary.

"Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Actually he said power tends to corrupt, but absolute power corrupts absolutely.

and my favorite, "It's the little bits of joy we get in life that make this hell hole livable."

Not sure who it's by but i like it.

Don't know who it's by, but it's Latin and it means something to the effect of "While I have breath, I have hope".

Weird you being the perfect combination of both.

"No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve in quality as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing it is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them."
- Alan Watts

Weird. Just today I had nearly the same thought, how music isn't about one single moment of completion like a still art piece, but rather the beauty is in the constant motion with each moment complementing the next.

Of course Watts said it better than I can, but seeing that quote today is strangely coincidental.

"Mama whispered softly, Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?"

"Even though I'm no better than a beast, do I not deserve the right to live?"

It's from the korean movie Oldboy by director Chan Wook-Park, but I guess you need to watch the movie to get the full meaning of the phrase. I highly reccomend the flick by the way, it's my favourite movie of all time.

[StrikeTwelve]

Oldboy is awesome.

[Flyingburittopanda]

I didnt even read the posts i just saw quotes and thought of my faves:

"But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there."
and
"I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip."

Both quoted from american psycho.

EDIT: I know their not the exact quotes you may be lookinf for, the type and so on but they are still quotes and great ones at that.

A cool quote I remember is from The Matrix: Revolutions. The Oracle says, 'The real test of any choice is, "Would I make the same choice again?" No one can see beyond a choice they don't understand."

"Dum Spiro, Spero"

Don't know who it's by, but it's Latin and it means something to the effect of "While I have breath, I have hope".

It's actually part of the official state motto of South Carolina. It literally translates to "While I breathe, I hope." and loosely to "Where there is life, there is hope."

As a player of MxO I am legally obligated to say this after any mention of the Matrix.

That is all.

The whole "Amy" speech from Chasing Amy is pretty deep, I think. I don't want to post the whole thing here but if you've heard it or read it you know what I'm talking about. Good life lesson, that one.

"We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!"

"And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing... And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes. And we were forced to look at him at close range. He was still alive when I passed him. His tongue was still red, his eyes not yet extinguished. Behind me, I heard the same man asking: 'For G-d's sake, where is G-d?' And from within me, I heard a voice answer: 'Where He is? This is where - hanging here from this gallows...'"
