Name This Quote Source

"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 it 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."

Movie Quotes To Live By:

Come September with Rock Hudson.
"No love affair can survive if either party starts to think"
"Why be miserable with someone you don't love. Better be miserable with someone you do love".

So I Married An Axe Murderer with Mike Myers
This one has special meaning, as my mother is an avid reader of the Weekly World News.

"Mom, I find it interesting that you call The Weekly World News 'the paper.' A paper contains facts".

"Give your mother a kiss before I kick your teeth in."

"Dad, how can you hate 'The Colonel'? Because he puts a secret ingredient in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!"

"Would ya look at the size of that kid's head! It's the size of a planetoid and it has it's own weather system! Looks like an orange on a toothpick! I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Aye, now that was offsides, now wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow."

Correction. Originally I thought my friend Tyler wrote this, but it appears that it was written by this guy. I hope you enjoy this bit of humor.

When I was a kid, adults used go on forever with their tedious diatribes
about how hard things were when they were growing up- what with walking
twenty five miles to school every morning, uphill both ways through year
'round blizzards carrying their younger siblings on their backs to their
one-room schoolhouse where they maintained a straight-A average, despite
their full-time after-school job at the local textile mill where they
worked for 35 cents an hour just to help keep their family from starving to
death!
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way I was
going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it, and
how easy they've got it! But... now that I've reached my thirties, I can't
help but look around and notice the youth of today. They've got it so damn
easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, they live in Utopia! The kids today
don't even know how good they've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet- we wanted to know
something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves! And there
was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter with a pen! And
then we had to walk all the way down the block and put it in the mailbox,
and it would take like a week to get there!
And there were no MP3s or Napsters! You wanted to steal music- you had to
go to the record store and shoplift it yourself! Yup, just like Winona
Ryder. Try sticking an LP album under your jacket! Or, we had to wait
around all day to tape it off the radio. And the DJ'd usually talk over the
beginning and screw it all up!
And if you think that sounds like hardship?
We didn't have fancy stuff like call waiting! If we were on the phone and
somebody else called, they got a busy signal! And we didn't have fancy
caller ID boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was. It
could be your boss, your mom, a collections agent, or your drug dealer. You
just didn't know!!! We just had to pick it up and take our chances!
And we didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600 with games like "Space
Invaders" and "Asteroids," and the graphics sucked! Your guy was a little
square or a line! You had to use your imagination! And there were no
multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever, and you could
never win! The game just kept getting harder and faster until you died.
When we went to the movie theater, there was no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height. A tall guy sat in front of
you, or a woman with a big hat, or someone with an afro, you were screwed!
And sure, we had cable television, but back then that meant like 20
channels, and there was no onscreen menu! We had to use a little book
called the TV Guide to find out what was on! And there was no Cartoon
Network! We could only get cartoons on Saturday morning......D'ya hear what
the hell I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK, you spoiled little
bastards!
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy!
You're spoiled, and I swear to God that you wouldn't last five minutes back
in 1980!

Here is a quote I found on Inner Peace

I recently read an article that said the best way to achieve inner peace is to FINISH things I had started. So, today I finished two large bags of potato chips, a chocolate pie, a small box of chocolate candy, and I slapped the living */@*! out of someone I have never liked. I feel better already.
