Quotes that Impact You. (Explain Why)

My two favorite quotes:
"But this is America, where we unapologetically bastardize other countries' cultures in gross quest for moral an military supremecy." - Amy Sherman-Palladino
'When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called religion." - Richard Dawkins
Yes, slightly controversial. I know. First one is often considered to be unpatriotic, but for me I always thought there was a fine line between patriotism and nationalism, and the United States started to walk that thin line during the Bush Administration. As for the secon quote I don't have that general view of religion, more of a representation of those people who annoying me with their overzealous attitude and bigotry.

these are the quotes that shook me but i dont know the others that said theirs:
"it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!" -Emiliano Zapata
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts" -sir Winston Churchill
"Kilroy was here" - dunno who started it but it makes a good laughing taunt
"The children are the hope of the next generation" - Jose Rizal, attributed
"your wounds arent even enough to avenge the thousands that died from theirs you bastard!" - dunno either
"there will come a time when mankind creates a weapon so powerful and destructive that he will be forced to end wars forever" - Thomas Edison
"nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result" - i dunno
"when you are near the last end of rope, tie a knot and hang on" - dunno
and this is what my friend said when i was so down and wanted to fade away....
"if you say 'i wanna die', what will you gain? dying is natural and lets keep it that way. dying by your hand has great repercussions in the afterlife. on the moment you were born, life already threw down the gauntlet in front of you and you picked it up. if you die now it means you're giving up the fight. life is a challenge my friend, thrown at you at the moment you were born. if you fall or reach happiness, that depends on you. this is only a minor setback, it wont kill you that quick. its just broken emotion that needs to be cleaned up and repaired.
emotion can scar you, but wasted time unknowingly stabs you a thousandth time. its your choice whether you continue the fight, or cower and fall to your own demise."

Some quote that always stayed in my mind from the time I played World of Warcraft. Always made me strive to become better at whatever I do because I want to deserve it.
" You give a piece of shit epic gears, he'll just become an epic piece of shit."

My favorite quote is this one, though slightly modified to fit the language:
-Your body is no more than a cadaver, rotting away in the anals of time; a prison for your mind
Marcus Aurelius
This isn't exactly a quote, it's a line I came across when reading his translated memoirs. Reminds me to keep studying, since the mind is the one thing that continues to get stronger over the passing of time.
Cheers.

"The public doesn't want new music; the main thing it demands of a composer is that he be dead." -Arthur Honegger
I saw this was WhiteLion's sig and thought it was beautiful it is so true that a lot of composers and singers don't truly become famous till they die.

Innocentia Nihil Probat.
- Original High-Gothic form of the Inquisition Credo, “Innocence Proves Nothing”
It sounds cool.
"What is the terror of death?
That we die our work incomplete.
What is the joy of life?
To die knowing our task is done."
This is why I fear dying, and my motivation to become a robot.
"What is victory? Is it to defeat your enemy on the field of battle? Is it to simply repulse his armies and slay his misguided warriors? No, this is only the beginning!
True victory is to crush your foe utterly, to shatter his armoured legions and run down his fleeing troops as they scatter. Pursue them to their lairs and burn them out. Burst into his unholy temples, smash down his icons and topple his foul idols. Burn his heretical works and leave no stone upon stone. Slaughter his followers, their families and their livestock lest any of their taint remain. And when that is done, put the ruins to the torch.
Any that have dealt with them or given them succour must be obliterated, for memory is insidious and though you have crushed their will and their bodies they may yet return. Send warrior scribes to excise the records of their name, expunge their deeds from the annals of history and remove even the memory of your foe’s existence. Only then have you truly won.
That is the meaning of victory."
I have adopted this as my definition of victory. All other things are slight successes. If I win, they must KNOW I have won. They must not be able to explain away their loss through petty reasonings such as "It was a bad day for me" or "I was off my game". They must KNOW it and LAMENT in their ineffectual resistance against ME!

"You see," he explained, "I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones."
- Sherlock Holmes (A study in Scarlet)
When I first read this, I took it to heart, and treated it as my guiding light in figuring out which electives I wanted to take.

My two favorite ones:
-Who loves not wine, women and song, Remains a fool his whole lifelong.
-One's destiny is not written before hand. One's self creates it as time passes by.
First one would probably my most favorite one out of all the quotes Ive seen. Simply tells me to enjoy life.
Second tells me that I create my own future no one else.

I pretty much liked every quote from Call of Duty 1, but two I live by is probably:
"Life ends so fast so take your chance and make it last"
-Chuck Schuldiner
"The world's "logic" is made up of horseshit from the people that tell you what is right and wrong, what you can and cannot do, and what you shouldn't and shouldn't do. Now what do you do with this steaming pile of shit? You either eat it like the good boy like they want you to be, or you take this steaming pile of shit, throw it their face, and make them suffocate in it. So what choice do you prefer...?"
-A Psychologist/Teacher from my old high school
