a few favorites...

"Training should be geared toward the motivated sociopath. Period. Those
who choose to comply - will. Those who don't...will test your mettle. The
truth is the training. You can't fake endurance. You can't buy confidence. You can't buy
experience. When preparation meets reality, you'll get your experience.
Stay safe. Train with integrity...it's your duty; it's your call."
---Tony Blauer

"Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it becomes steel and is transformed into a razor-sharp sword. Human beings develop in the same fashion"
-Morihei Ueshiba


Misconception: "Violence only leads to more violence."

Truth: This one is so stupid you usually have to be the president of an Ivy League
university to say it. Here's the truth, which you know in your heads and
hearts already: Ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more violence.
Limp, panicky, half-measures lead to more violence. However, complete,
fully-thought-through, professional, well-executed violence never leads to
more violence because, you see, afterwards, the other guys are all dead.
That's right, dead. Not "on trial," not "reeducated," not "nurtured back
into the bosom of love." Dead. D-E- Well, you get the idea.

-An Air Force General who's name escapes me

"There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough, and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter."

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses

Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lawrence of Arabia

Bums.
--from Vanishing Point, David Markson


In that moment he saw the world in its true light, as a place where nothing had ever been any good and nothing of significance done: no art worth a second look, no philosophy of the slightest appositeness, no law but served the state, no history that gave an inkling of how it had been and what had happened. And no love, only egotism, infatuation and lust.

Jake did a quick run-through of women in his mind, not the ones he had known and dealt with in the past few months or years so much as all of them: their concern with the surface of things, with objects and appearances, with their surroundings and how they looked and sounded in them, with seeming to be better and to be right while getting everything wrong, their automatic assumption of the role of injured party in any clash of wills, their certainty that a view is the more credible and useful for the fact that they hold it, their use of misunderstanding and misrepresentation as weapons of debate, their selective sensitivity to tones of voice, their unawareness of the difference in themselves between sincerity and insincerity, their interest in importance (together with noticeable inability to discriminate in that sphere), their fondness of general conversation and directionless discussion, their pre-emption of the major share of feeling, their exaggerated estimate of their own plausibility, their never listening and lots of other things like that, all according to him.
--from Jake's Thing, Kingsley Amis


What special affinities appeared to him to exist between the moon and woman?

Her antiquity in preceding and surviving successive tellurian generations: her nocturnal predominance: her satellitic dependence: her luminary reflection: her constancy under all her phases, rising and setting by her appointed times, waxing and waning: the forced invariability of her aspect: her indeterminate response to inaffirmative interrogation: her potency over effluent and refluent waters: her power to enamour, to mortify, to invest with beauty, to render insane, to incite to and aid delinquency: the tranquil inscrutability of her visage: the terribility of her isolated dominant implacable resplendent propinquity: her omens of tempest and of calm: the stimulation of her light, her motion and her presence: the admonition of her craters, her arid seas, her silence: her splendour, when visible: her attraction, when invisible.
--from Ulysses, James Joyce


Hasn't he learned by now that this whole business of being "in love" is not an existential reality, but a form of cultural production, an illusion produced by the mutual reflections of a million rose-tinted mirrors: love poems, pop songs, movie images, agony columns, shampoo ads, romantic novels?
--from Small World, David Lodge


One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words "Socialism" and "Communism" draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, *** maniac, Quaker, "Nature Care" quack, pacifist and feminist in England.

Very few friendships can survive your saying: "I like you but I don't like your poems." Much better to say "I don't like you but I like your poems." Yes, that would have been OK.

Very few friendships can survive your saying: "I like you but I don't like your poems." Much better to say "I don't like you but I like your poems." Yes, that would have been OK.

"Talkers are no good doers; be assur'd we come to use our hands and not our tongues." (Richard II)

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." (Measure for Measure)

I like Jane Austen, but this is what Mark Twain had to say about her:

I haven't any right to criticise books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader, and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.


To truly appreciate the performance one would need the combined attributes of Homer and Beethoven, namedly blindness and deafness.

Dowson was in love with a girl in an Italian restaurant, courted her for two years; at first she was too young, then he too disreputable; she married the waiter and his life went to wreck. Sober, he looked on no woman; drunk, he picked the cheapest whore. 'He did not even want them clean,' said a friend.
--from Dramatis Personae, William Butler Yeats


When asked to suggest a new title for the revised work [The Great Terror], [Robert] Conquest told his publisher, "How about I Told You So, You F*cking Fools?"


The spade lifestyle, though, he thought, as he turned down Elgin Crescent--it made a lot of good sense. Especially the way they dealt with their birds. When they took out their wallets and showed you their photos: after the blondes, after all the Pointer Sisters and Marvellettes and Supremes, there'd be one black bird with buck teeth and young eyes. And you'd say, 'That cousin or something then, Wes?' And they'd shake their heads (they took your point) and say: 'Babymama.' You see, that was the bird they had babies with, or at least gave babies to. Thelonius has four or five kids in a basement in Leamington Road Villas. Only go round there once a fortnight, on Giro day. Then you're back in the pub with the blondes and the child benefit. Now even the flashest white bloke didn't seem to be able to swing that.

This is now my favorite quote:

...I aint avoiding **** you little **** sucker, I can keep up this bull**** nearly as long as you. Your retorts are like what the f*** I'm saying back, you're not going to prove me wrong because I'm not wrong, and if I have to resort to petty come backs like you, so be it on my side. You still need to blow your little gay kettle and pot theory out your pathetic ass because it doesn't prove anything of what I say to anything or anyone else, It may prove something to you, but to nobody else, and you turning this into a big flame fest is f*** boring. You're a moron, you're egotistical, and you acting like the little fag you are still won't make you prove anything more than that a bird **** a piece of **** on your head and stuck two feathers up your ass. I'n not avoiding ****, I'm actually escalating the ****, you blind piece of ****. (haha) And if you wan't to finish the rest of the rant on a public forum, so be it.

And bitch, if I actually saw you int he real world, you wouldn't have much of a face left because I really don't like you. Thank you so much for turning my two ****tin comments into a flame fest whereas you can still not prove anything by saying they mean the same ****.

"Varus, give me back my Legions!"

-Ceasar Augustus, after hearing of the Teutoburg Forest massacre where Quintillius Varus was ambushed by Germanic tribes and lost all his Legions.


"America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn't entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the Spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany. If America had stayed out of the war, all these isms wouldn't today be sweeping the continent of Europe and breaking down parliamentary government— and if England had made peace early in 1917, it would have saved over one million British, French, American, and other lives."

[Jani.R]

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice,—is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.

I recently downloaded a documentary called "Deadline Iraq: Uncensored storys of the war" you might find it on some torrent site (i got it from suprnova, RIP :( ) or you can look for it on DC++. If you find it, it's a must see.

They interview war correspondents who were in Iraq, they tell alot about what they saw, and they show alot of photage that didn't make it in the news. There is also some interesting combat photage that really shows the confution, and a scene where one group loses their guide\translator in a mortar\rocket attack.

I have a few quotes from it, there are some really strong scenes and some things that angers you.

"You see a dog dragging intestins from a dead body, and you think "that is nature", but nature is cold bitch."

We were just leaving a hospital with a lot of civilian wounded, and suddenly this car comes racing up to the front and stops, and a woman jumps out and opens the back door. There is her husband who's been wounded when he got caught in the crossfire, and he died on the way.
And when she opened the door she started screaming "Mohammed i told you not to go out" in Arabic.


"We were trying to get to Tikrit, but coulden't. So we got back to the hotel and i got a call from my picture editor and he said "no, that isn't the story. The story is 'stumpy'.
Stumpy was this kid Ali who had lost both arms and had burns on 70% of his body. And he was precented to the media at one point, as perhaps the only example of collateral damage, and hordes of reporters were encouraged to go into his room where he should have been resting.
The photographer was editing his photos, and i looked at them and they were really heartbreaking. He sent them off, and half an hour later he came into my room and said 'Do you know what my picture editor just said to me?' No, i didn't. 'He said: Don't you have any of him smiling'.
And that is the propaganda mentality. What did this kid have to smile about. The media was generally conserner with putting a good spin on things."

What you learn from seeing this is that the reporters in Iraq take their photos, and it's the people who are going to print them who decide wich ones go, and wich ones don't. There are some really incredible storys in it, and some that will shock you. Especially a comment about the mentality of the US soldiers.

and I half expected it to be made of wood. You are without a doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of.'

' But you have heard of me.' "
******************************************************
and the very best one;

Jack Sparrow: No. Not good. Stop. Not good. What are you doing? You've burned all the food, the shade, the RUM.

Elizabeth: Yes, the rum is gone.

Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum gone?

Elizabeth: One, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire royal navy is out looking for me; do you really think that there is EVEN the slightest chance that they won't see it?

Jack Sparrow: But why is the rum gone?

one of my fav military quotes:



War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs.

Arthur Schopenhauer

<dessin> I got a spam email about a week back that slipped through my filter
<dessin> usually they don't get through, I get maybe one or two every year
<dessin> so I open up the headers and it turns out there's a yahoo account as the reply-to
<dessin> figured it's a long shot but I emailed it saying "stop sending me spam, asshole"
<dessin> turns out this guy is a complete dumbass and actually put his real email in the reply to - emails me back saying "**** you, I'll spam who I want" and asking how I got his email and ****
<iggi> lol
<dessin> so I checked the headers again and found the IP that the email was sent from
<dessin> did a geoip lookup and got a pretty specific location in london, and found the local exhange from google maps
<dessin> and it was kinda out of the way in london so the exchange maybe covered 600 houses or so
<dessin> so I print off like 1000 leaflets saying "there is a spammer in your area, if you have any information please forward it to the police" and stuff
<dessin> took a train to london, two bus changes to the area
<iggi> wtf hahaha
<dessin> went round and posted the leaflets through every house in the area
<dessin> anyway this morning I get an email from the guy asking how I found his house and begging me not to tell the police
<iggi> ROFL HAHAHAHAHA!!

Hermann "Meyer" Göring:

"No enemy bomber can reach the Ruhr. If one reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Goering. You may call me Meyer."


"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.
Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
