“But that’s the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don’t want to know what people are talking about. I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”

Some things are unacceptable

I’m sorry, quotewhore. You have exhausted your last chance of NOT publishing another quote from the Twilight books. It was nice while it lasted. Goodbye.

“At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.”

—Grey’s Anatomy (via quotewhore)

“Never over-dramatise things, everything can be fixed; keep a certain detachment from everything; the important things in life are very few.”

—Giulio Andreotti

“Whatever you give a woman, she’s going to multiply. If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So — if you give her any crap, you will receive a ton of shit.”

Giving it Away (via artpixie)
Everyone knows true happiness is KEEPING it. Unless you literally mean that tiny shell in your hand. In that case, yes, we agree, get rid of it. Holding onto little trinkets like that can easily fill your house with garbage. Then true happiness becomes just making it one weekend without your wife asking you to clean out the garage.

The Female Truth »

“The fundamental defect of the female character is a lack of a sense of justice. This originates first and foremost in their want of rationality and capacity for reflexion but it is strengthened by the fact that, as the weaker sex, they are driven to rely not on force but on cunning: hence their instinctive subtlety and their ineradicable tendency to tell lies: for, as nature has equipped the lion with claws and teeth, the elephant with tusks, the wild boar with fangs, the bull with horns and the cuttlefish with ink, so it has equipped woman with the power of dissimulation as her means of attack and defence, and has transformed into this gift all the strength it has bestowed on man in the form of physical strength and the power of reasoning. Dissimulation is thus inborn in her and consequently to be found in the stupid woman almost as often as in the clever one.”

—Arthur Schopenhauer, On Women

“Drugs are very popular among people who are interested in interesting things but are not themselves very interesting.”

“We ourselves are technological devices, invented by ancient bacterial communities as means of genetic survival.”

“La superioridad moral es el colesterol del ego.”

Ingram en los comentarios de Kunta, quien definitivamente NO está desperdiciando su talento.

“People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands—literally thousands—of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss.”

—Nick Hornby, High Fidelity (via so in the mood)

“The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.”

“Are you saving yourself for your wedding night? The Devil wants you to fail, that’s why he puts stumbling blocks in your way. But God wants you to succeed, and that’s why he has given us an alternative to intercourse before marriage: anal sex. Through anal sex, you can satisfy your body’s needs, while you avoid the risk of unwanted pregnancy and still keep yourself pure for marriage.”

Sex in Christ (via too much too soon)

Let’s roll, you catholic virgins! You can hardly argue against God’s will!

“Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.”
