acts of injustice done
between setting and rising sun
in history lie like bones, each one

I have a most peaceable disposition. My desires are for a modest hut, a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, very fresh milk and butter, flowers in front of my window and a few pretty trees by my door. And should the good Lord wish to make me really happy, he will allow me the pleasure of seeing about six or seven of my enemies hanged upon those trees.
- - - Heinrich Heine
And
There comes a time when it lies within a man's grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, the times, lack of good fortune, or quirks of fate.
- - - Louis L'Amour

"If you see the Buddha walking on the street, kill him, for the real Buddha lives in us all"
~Buddhist proverb, i think...
makes sense yet at the same time doesn't, because Buddhism is very anti-violence
AND
"The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"
~the Boondocks TV show, not the comic.

~Edgar Allan Poe
“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”

One of my favorite quotes is from Highlander:
"Are you a faggot, Nash?"
"Why, Garfield? You cruising for a piece of ass?"

- Tum podem extulit horridulum! - (Translates as: You talk a lot of shit).
- Everything of value is vulnerable - Lucebert
- In vino veritas - (obviously)
- Are you a Mexican or a Mexican't? - Johnny Depp in Once upon a time in Mexico
- I'm gonna rip your head off and shit down your neck -
This is an interesting one. It's said in two films, as far as I know:
* Full Metal Jacket
* Stand by me
And I used it at Mumbai airport when they wouldn't let me on the plane (right before they jammed a machine gun into my chest).
