"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name ofcharity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Ezekiel 25:17 (from Pulp Fiction)

I hope we're just posting quotes in general, not philosophy quotations.

"I felt like putting a bullet between in the eyes of every panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all those French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke.

I felt like destroying something beautiful."

gremlinx8 · 11-27-2003, 11:22 PM

Along the lines of Fight Club, I'd like to add

You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fuckin' khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

From the Onion:

"I don't know why kids keep smoking after we tell them it's a dangerous thing meant for adults."

Voltaire:

"Tobacco is the pleasure of simple folk, and those who live without tobacco don't deserve to live."

Nietzsche:

"But to stand in the middle of this rerum concordia discors and the whole marvellous uncertainty and ambiguity of existence without questioning, without trembling with the rapture of questioning, ...that is what I feel to be contemptible…"

Actually, this is not in the bible as a whole... It is a compilation of Psalm 23 ( valley of darkness), with proverbs, with Isaiah, Ezekial, and Genesis (story of Cain and Abel).
