If you seek absolute truth, you will not find it. You will find only truth that appeals to you.

quote:

The one constant of the universe is change. Change is life - because to change requires energy and motion. Therefore, if something ever stops changing - then it will stagnate and die. The stars and planets - people and all things that are, they are constantly changing. Because the world changes, so too must we change to adapt to it.

"Demons run when a good man goes to war. Night will fall and drown the sun, when a good man goes to war. Friendship dies and true love lies, night will fall and the dark will rise. When a good man goes to war, demons run, but count the cost. The battle's won, but the child is lost."

"Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country, The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country, The Times is read by people who actually do run the country, The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country, The Financial Times is read by people who own the country, The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is and the Sun readers don't care who run's the country as long as she's got big tits""

"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."

quote:

It's all about power: grabbing it, keeping it, using it... Power is our currency, our DNA, our God. We control the world. We provide the blueprint and we give the instructions. We're the people in grainy photos on grassy knolls; we're the shadowy faces in smokey backrooms and darkened boardrooms. We're right here, hiding in plain sight, buying and selling favors: blackmail, treason, deceit- these are our stock in trade. We work the magic of the drunken evenings with senators and chiefs of staff. We shake down demons, and negotiate with sorcerers. We have stocks in Hell, and compromising photos of Angels. We use any means necessary regardless of the cost, because the world is a bad place, and you can either do or get done. We're the Illuminati... and we're not done.

We are the Dark Knights for justice. Because as children we were nursed on the milk of justice, and as we grew up we acquired a taste for justice. Now as we get older we once again desire the taste of justice... but we cannot find the milk! So we go to Starbucks! And we get a coffee! But it's not the same thing! IT SUCKS! WHY DID I ORDER THIS!? IT'S TERRIBLE! And now you all understand what our mission is. And. What. We. Must. Do.

quote:

You walk frantically, following a single path, but when you feel as if you've forgotten something and look back to see what it is, you'll see a pile of things you had to leave behind so that you could walk that path. Things so precious that you can neither forget, nor throw away. But, you cannot retrace your steps, nor have the courage to stop walking. Just bear all your regrets, just bury all your lingering desires, and though you might look back again and again, you can only continue walking forward.

quote:

A dream is not something romantic like [a love] letter. You can't even dream it unless you're willing to be utterly selfish about it.

Have you ever wondered what it is that holds the fabric of society together? No, it's not cooperation or trust or any of that stuff hippies want you to believe. It's lies!

quote:

No way, that’s the Demonic Blade of Death! Me and my friends in SOLDIER retrieved it back when I was working for them… It disappeared out of nowhere when the ShinRa building was under attack once… I always knew that sword was a Chekov’s Gun… I KNEW! *To Dragonlord Drakon’s Ghost after he realizes that he was wielding the Demonic Blade of Death*

quote:

I’ll admit Princess. You’re really pretty. But there are two reasons why I can’t be with you. 1. I’m already married to a Frozen-Shade and she’s a lot prettier than you. No offense. 2.

No matter what, no matter what happens to you, no matter how desperate you feel, never resort to violence.

quote:

If for one moment you think you're better than a 16 year old girl in a Green Day T-shirt, you're solely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band? You wore their shirt and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene, politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with; someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.

quote:

"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue and thoroughly immoral doctrine that 'violence never settles anything' I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee..."

quote:

"I suppose that in any well-ordered society people like us would be locked up or shot. But then you would have to get people like us to do the locking up and the shooting."

quote:

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Though passion, i gain strength.
Though strength, i gain power.
Though power, i gain victory.
Though victory, my chains are broken.
The force shell set me free!"

quote:

"If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because evil likes power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you're going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat. They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word."
