Here are several of my favorite quotes I’ve come across over the years.
Tom Araya, Musician
On Religious Beliefs in regards to Slayer’s Music
“Kerry’s written some really far out shit. If it’s a good song, I’m not one that’s going to go, ‘This sucks because it’s contrary to my beliefs.’ To me it’s more like, ‘This is really good stuff. You’re going to piss people off with this.’ People have these heavy issues and ask, ‘Isn’t this a problem for you?’ and no. I’m well-rounded, I have a really strong belief system and these are just words and they’ll never interfere with what I believe and how I feel. People are not in good shape to where they have to question their own belief system because of a book or a story somebody wrote, or a Slayer song.”
Sandra Bullock, Actress
On Marriage
“I’ve always been very skeptical about marriage, because I only want to do it once; I want to do it the right way.”
On Expectations
“People have their lists of what they want in their partner, and three-quarters of them are superficial. If life doesn’t give you what you want, it’ll present you with what you need and you don’t realize it. That need is far greater and more profound than the little list thing.”
Kirston Dunst, Actress
On Dating
“Boys frustrate me. I hate all their indirect messages, I hate game playing. Do you like me or don’t you? Just tell me so I can get over you.”
Albert Einstein, Scientist
Religious
“Before God we are all equally wise – and equally foolish.”
“God does not play dice.”
Tammy Faye, Evangelist
On Self-Reflection
“To know your true character, listen to yourself when you talk about others.”
“I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist ”
Madonna
On Kabbalah
“One is that we are all responsible for our actions, our behavior, and our words, and we must take responsibility for everything we say and do. When you get your head wrapped around that, you can no longer think of life as a series of random events you participate in life in a way you didn’t previously. I am the architect of my destiny. I am in charge. I bring that to me, or I push that away. You can no longer blame other people for things that happened to you. The other is that there is order in the universe, even though it looks like chaos. We separate the world into categories: this is good and this is bad. But life is set up to trick us. It`s a series of illusions we invest in. And ultimately those investments don`t serve our understanding, because physicality is always going to let you down, because physicality doesn’t last.”
Mel Gibson, Actor
On Marriage
“After about 20 years of marriage, I’m finally starting to scratch the surface of what women want. And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate.”
On Women
“I love women. They’re the best thing ever created. If they want to be like men and come down to our level, that’s fine.”
Joan Jett, Musician
On Women
“Girls have got balls. They’re just a little higher up that’s all. ”
On Friendship
“You got nothing to lose. You don’t lose when you lose fake friends.”
Amy Lee, Musician
On Depression
“I thought about taking anti-depressants, but I think that takes your soul away. I remember thinking that if I made that choice, then I wouldn’t be an artist anymore, because I wouldn’t be able to feel anything.”
On Her Childhood Antics
“I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn’t, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don’t think any of my relatives are surprised.”
C. S. Lewis, Writer
Religious
“A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.”
“You are not a body. You have a body. You are a soul.”
“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done.’”
On Friendship
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You, too? I thought I was the only one.’”
Elfen Lied, Writer
Behavior
“When you’re miserable … you need someone … even more miserable than yourself. The ones who aren’t human … The ones who are inhuman … ARE YOU!”
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Composer
Religious
“It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion.”
On Ambition
“I pay no attention whatever to anybody’s praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.”
On Love
“Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.”
Dave Navarro, Musician
On His Tattoos
“My skin is my canvas. The artwork on it represents something that is very powerful and meaningful in my life. I look at my skin as something of a living diary because all my tattoos represent a time in my life. And I never wish to shut the door on the part, so I carry it all with me.”
William Shakespeare, Writer
On Women
“Women speak two languages – one of which is verbal.”
On Love
“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
Mother Teresa, Roman Catholic nun
On Peace
“If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.”
Marianne Williamson, Writer
On Insecurity
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly, who are you to not be so? You are a child of God, small games do not work in this world. For those around us to feel peace, it is not example to make ourselves small. We were born to express the glory of god that lives in us. It is not in some of us, it is in all of us. While we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. When we liberate ourselves from our own fears, simply our presence may liberate others.”
