Decision chisel fate


I like it because it's true.

Love is the delusion that one woman is significantly different than another. Mencken.

Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures. Samuel Johnson.

Difficult women remain difficult. Me.

"I have known many gods. He who denies them is as blind as he who trusts them too deeply. I seek not beyond death. It may be the blackness averred by the Nemedian skeptics, or Crom's realm of ice and cloud, or the snowy plains and vaulted halls of the Nordheimer's Valhalla. I know not, nor do I care. Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content." -Conan, the Barbarian (real author: Robert E. Howard)

to achieve proficiency in any life skill requires a degree of masochism

"Don't get married. Don't get a facebook."

Woman is a vulgar animal from whom man has created an excessively beautiful ideal.
-Gustave Flaubert


It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
-Theodore Roosevelt

“Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
"Great men are almost always bad men."
“There is no worse heresy than the fact that the office sanctifies the holder of it.”
“The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections.”

-John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton

"Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused."
-Edward Gibbon

"...buried among the things that we hate is a class of products that are in that category only because they are weird. They make us nervous. They are sufficiently different that it take us some time to understand that we actually like them."

Malcolm Gladwell

Don't chase 'em. Replace 'em. ~Biggie Smalls

Girls don't poop. They simply don't have that capability. Instead they cry. That is why they cry so much and that is why you shouldn't care if a girl cries. She may be shitting on you.

You know when I was young I refused to believe that girls pooped. I remember reading Tom Robbins "Fierce Invalids" and he had a part in there where the main character was ruminating on a similar belief that girls must have an internal ball of light that gets rid of everything for them...I have since found such ideas are not true.

NOTE: here's the quote

Quote:Quote:

Obviously, he knew he had innards, he was not an imbecile, but so repulsive did he find the idea that his handsome body might be stuffed like a holiday stocking with slippery, snaky coils of steaming guts; undulating meat tubes choked with vile green and yellow biles, vast colonies of bacteria, fetid gases, and gobs of partially digested foodstuffs, that he blocked the fact from his cognizance, preferring to pretend that his corporeal cavity—and that of any woman to whom he was romantically attracted—was powered not by throbbing hunks of slimy, blood-bathed tissue but by a sort of ball of mystic white light.

boxwino, what's up with the avatar, man?

these are all from fight club. that movie is just filled with good quotes.

If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning. ~Aristotle Onassis

It's a man's man's man's world
but it don't mean nothing
without a woman or a girl
--James Brown, the Godfather of Soul

I don't know about that one. I have a regular that only calls me when she's crying. Usually cause she just fought or broke up with her latest boyfriend. It's followed by an invitation over for sex.
