Quotes from Epicsauce
« on: September 27, 2010, 09:51:59 AM »
Really? We don't have an epic quotes thread for general quotes, from plato to starwars to Viewtiful Joe? REALLY?
There's something wrong here.

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

-Zeddicus Zul Zorander.

'To Pretend, I actually do the thing. Therefore I have only pretended to pretend'

--Jacques Derrida

'All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.'

'Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.'

--Albert Camus

Ah, literature. What would the world do without you and your ability to convey hard messages so seductively?

Destruction begets Creation. Creation begets Interaction. Interaction begets Society. Society begets Use. Use begets Destruction.

Cool. I quite enjoyed those.


"It has been requested by Christians that Atheists prove that god doesn't exist. Atheists have stated that it is impossible to PROVE something doesn't exist, as if it doesn't exist, there is no evidence to exist for its nonexistence. They instead asked Christians to prove god DOES exist. Then the Christians respond with 'Proof denies Faith, and faith is all that he is'. which is not only contradictory and hypocrisy, also adds a point to the atheists, because the complete lack of evidence for something's existence is in fact evidence for its nonexistence."

-Me, contemplating the Atheist-Christian Debate.

Well technically there's a long long standing argument with points for both sides, but I don't think here's the best place to discuss that :p

Anyway, today's quote on tragedy led me to this, which I thought would be a nice follow-up :D Hopefully nothing to do with religion

'Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love; It is the faithless who know love's tragedies'

-Oscar Wilde

Religion is a rather personal matter. And because it is so personal, it should be kept in private unles civility can be maintained. Athiests have a long standing status as being blunt, rude, arrogant, unsypmathetic/inconsiderate to the beliefs of others and willing to say something doesn't exist because it is not physically feasible. They then chalk up their villification to the response of not caring what others think, and thus begins the paradox of the way they view the religious community. While there are many who are none of the above, that's kind of a standing precident that's been exhibited by the more outspoken of that community. However, they do provide the drive for people to actually gain a deeper understanding of things they cannot (at surface value) completely comprehend. That, in itself is incredibly profound.

Christians have a bad rep due to all of the crazies that fill the very role of the "False Prophets" that religious texts warn about. The 'bad seeds' of the community are also arrogant, close minded, bigoted, self-misinformed, overly judgemental and unsympathetic/inconsiderate of the beliefs of others as well as unwilling to be open minded enough to understand where others are coming from. However, those that aren't the lunatic zealots tend to provide a deeper, more individualistic view of the Creator, as there are many ways to view something as personal as one's own spirituality, let alone endeavoring to understand the concept of something beyond their own comprehension. We discover new things everyday in the scientific community that supports both arguements. I could say more on the topic of supporting and debunking BOTH sides (on a basis of opinion), but that's not what this thread is for.  And so all that I have said in this lengthy lecture is all I will say on the topic.

I'm all for intellectual discussion, but let's keep this thread on topic, please. If you want to discuss the implications of religion, please start a new thread.

Indeed. That quote was just something from my Agnostic point of view. Didn't intend to spark a debate. In retrospect, I probably should've posted one of my quotes where I take a stab at Atheism as well. Oh well. Let's get back on topic.

All the men in the world rejoice!! That was a good one.

Speaking of rejoice, let us all celebrate our joys, sorrows, anger, despair, lust, apathy, all things that make us human!

'Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.'

--Unknown (i.e. Someone said this with no name and I just ripped it off online)

Interesting quote. I like it.

"I can haz cheeseburger." - lolcats

"We are the Spehss Mehreens, we are the Empra's Fureh!" - Captain Indrick Boreale

And finally, a serious one: "Faith in your cause is believing in what you do without needing to be proven of its worth. Gullibility is believing in what you do because someone else told you to." - Me.

Dedicated to all teachers. From Socrates in the west to Confucious in the east, From Albert Einstein to Graham Bell, we thank you for your contributions and changing the course of history to bring us where we are now.

'If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job.'

Donald D. Quinn

'Teachers who inspire know that teaching is like cultivating a garden, and those who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers.'
