Favorite quote (for contest)

"Can we live without death? Can we love without hate? Can we want without need? I've fallen once again. Do we really ever live our lives enough to appreciate that we can never truly grasp one without the other? That a concept has no meaning without an opposing force? If hate what's inside us, (If hate is what's inside us) and hate is what defines us, (there's more inside of me) and then we'll use our hate to drive us. (We are the damned) And let death not deprive us. Do we want this or do we need this? You can always rinse the surface but the stain will remain."

Wow, that's deep

Reminds me of Epitaph by King Crimson

[Speak in Silence]

I have never heard of it before

[Steven Cash]

Wait, here are the lyrics:

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

[Speak in Silence]

wow that's amazing!

[Steven Cash]

Yep, stops me cold every time

[Speak in Silence]

Yeah I bet

"Knowledge is a deadly friend when no one writes the rules
I'm afraid that common sense is in the hands of fools"

That always reminds me of Religion and the Government

[Speak in Silence]

oh yes very true

[Steven Cash]

There's no problem with rules. The problem comes when people make rules just to control people, or for their own personal gain

[Speak in Silence]

yeah, that's very true. My motto is "They make rules so we can break them" lol
