What's that you say? You want to OD on stupid quotes? You've come to the right place. [Yes, I like AFI.]

Hmm, maybe instead of jumping off the drum riser you could just step carefully down off of it but make a crazy I'm-going-off-really-hard face while you're doing it so people think you're doing some insane stage move.

Tell him to come check me out when I'm shredding some sweet finger tapping solos and then he'll be like, 'Power chords blah blah blah.' And I'll hit the whammy bar and it'll sound like a plane crashing at an air show and then he'll try to say some other stuff like, 'Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.' And that's when I fire up the wah-wah pedal and it'll be like 'Wokka wokka wokka wo-wokka wokka.' All up in his freakin' face.

If I asked you to have sex with me, would the answer to this question be the same as the answer to the first question?

Maybe you should drop the whole "being in a band" thing and just go crazy while doing something else...you might find it easier to go crazy while working in a library or while you're waiting to see the dentist.

I once thought I was hilarious tossing room service trays off the twenty-fifth floor balcony of my hotel room until I realized that was just about the most tired and cliche "rock star" thing I could do. People in bands have been trashing hotel rooms for decades and if I really wanted to do something shocking I'd have to like make the bed before I left or something like that.

And, the ultimate religious quote:

Davey: I don't believe in God, but I do believe in Gosh.
Adam: Yeah, Gosh, totally. He's like God only he's way more easy going.

Once you start putting them in quotes, you realize that there aren't as many single-person quotes as there are answering-a-question quotes.

"It is not their love for men but the impotence of their love for men which hinders the Christians of today from - burning us."
-Friedrich Nietzsche

And one I heard while driving to work today:
"The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame.
He might get burned, but he's in the game.
And once he's in, he can't go back, he'll
Beat his wings 'til he burns them black...
No, The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame."
-Aimee Mann

"Sometimes you meet people that you really like cause they scare the bee-jeevers out of you on some unconscious level."

Eeek~! Love that song! => for you!

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Bene Gesserit "Litany Against Fear" (Dune novels)

And shepherds we shall be
For Thee, my Lord, for Thee
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be
In nomine Patri, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti
Boondock Saints -- The Family Prayer

It takes two to be friends
It takes two to fight
It takes two to make amends
Keep this in sight:
Teamwork takes two
To hold a secret, to apologise, to love;
One's not enough
There must be two.
To make a set of twins...
To discover what's within...
It takes two.
Miranda Paugh (check out http://www.mmhp.net/TheSeries for more info...)

Admittedly, they are favourites, but the list is far from complete. Little snippets here and there are my real favourites.

Oh my... so much Hesse. Now I want to read Demian. Any other Hesian recommendations?

One of my favourite quotes from a favourite book. It is quoted by two of my favourite artists.
Adam Freeland's track "Mind Killer" and the variation (Fear) that is used in the final level of Rez: a videogame where sight and sound meet in sublime synathesia. Its exactly how I imagine taking The Spice would feel.

Siddhartha is tried but true; I loved it.

While I'm talking music that references fiction "Close to the Edge" by Yes relates the story of Hesse's Siddhartha in all its 18 minute glory, have a listen for a new angle on the work.


Nietzsche sums up the 'revolution' lesson in Utena and beyond... shells beyond adolescence.

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote:

Beyond Good and Evil

In their young years, people worship and despise still without that art of subtlety which constitutes the greatest gain in life. And it's reasonable enough that they must atone, with some difficulty, for having bombarded men and things in such a way with Yes and No. Everything is arranged so that the worst of all tastes, the taste for the absolute, will be terribly parodied and misused until people learn to put some art into their feelings and to enjoy risking an attempt with artificiality, as the real artists of life do.

The anger and reverence typical of the young do not seem to ease up until they have sufficiently distorted men and things so that they can vent themselves on them. Youth is in itself something fraudulent which deceives. Later, when the young soul, tortured by nothing but disappointments, finally turns back against itself suspiciously, still constantly hot and wild, even in its suspicion and pangs of conscience, how it rages against itself from this point on, how it tears itself apart impatiently, how it takes revenge for its lengthy self-deception, just as if it had been a voluntary blindness!

In this transition people punish themselves through their mistrust of their own feeling; they torment their enthusiasm with doubt; indeed, they already feel good conscience as a danger, as a veiling of the self, so to speak, and a growing exhaustion in their finer honesty. Above all, people take sides, basically the side against "the young." A decade later, they understand that all this was also still youth!

Nietzsche's advice exists in the realm of the extreme. I agree about it being harsh, but if you're plunging those depths too it can be sobering. I particularly like that passage because it requires you to future-think your current scenario, make sure you're not behaving in the manner that made you angry in the first place.

Ahh yes, the "Love Is" verses, those were on a a livid green tapestry hung in my family kitchen during my childhood.

As for Song of Solomon... the bible does Karma Sutra. Mmmm pleasant fruit: I can never look at a pomegranate in the same way.

Almost as sexy as:
Ezekiel 23:20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

And also my favorite Einstein story, even if it is pure fiction:

Einstein visited the physics lab at the University of Chicago.  While there, he asked a grad student what he was working on.  A bit flustered, the student explained the experiment to the esteemed scientist.  Nodding his head, Einstein made a suggestion that might make the experiment more workable.  The student, with some embarrassment, explained to Einstein why that couldn't possibly work.  Einstein shook his head sadly and acknowledged "None of my ideas are any good."

(Song of Solomon, 4:16, King James Version)

I'll leave it to you to guess why :p

I'm not sure... why do we like it again?
