Evil
Topic: Quotes
Albert Einstein:
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.



Albert Einstein:
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.



Aldous Huxley:
At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols.



Barry Lopez:
How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.

There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.



Blaise Pascal:

Death? Why this fuss about death. Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! ... Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil.



Charlotte Perkins Gilman:
It is told that Buddha, going out to look on life, was greatly daunted by death. "They all eat one another!" he cried, and called it evil. This process I examined, changed the verb, said, "They all feed one another," and called it good.



Cicero:
The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.



Edmund Burke:
All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.



Edmund Burke (attributed):
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.



Friedrich Nietzsche:
Battle not with monsters
lest ye become a monster
and if you gaze into the abyss
the abyss gazes into you.



H. L. Mencken:
It is a sin to believe evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake.



Hannah Arendt:
What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.



Hannah Arendt:
The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.



Helen Keller:
Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all -- the apathy of human beings.



Henry Brooks Adam:
It is always good men who do the most harm in the world.



Hierocles:
We ought always to deal justly, not only with those who are just to us, but likewise to those who endeavor to injure us; and this, for fear lest by rendering them evil for evil, we should fall into the same vice.



Joseph Conrad:
The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.

Every political good carried to the extreme must be productive of evil.



Mohandas K. Gandhi:
If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.



Molly Ivins:
I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth.



Pearl S. Buck:
When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail.



Ralph Waldo Emerson:
The moral sense reappears today with the same morning newness that has been from of old the fountain of beauty and strength. You say there is no religion now. 'Tis like saying in rainy weather, There is no sun, when at that moment we are witnessing one of its superlative effects.



Robert Heinlein:
But goodness alone is never enough. A hard cold wisdom is required, too, for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom invariably accomplishes evil.



Soren Kierkegaard:
Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.



Unknown:
In this world everything changes except good deeds and bad deeds; these follow you as the shadow follows the body.



William Penn:
To do evil that good may come of it is for bunglers in politics as well as morals.

The China Doll And The Mirror

Looking for perfection
a china doll upon a shelf

Afraid of the rejection
So she rejects herself

The reflection, is her tormentor,
and her eyes, don’t want to see

It shows her just who she is
But not who she wants to be.

So, begins the battle
of the mirror and thy self

And somewhere in the distance
Sits this doll upon her shelf

She is lost and she is lonely
yet she really don’t know why

Her smile, painted with precision
So She’s careful not to cry.

In the bathroom with the door locked
Hidden fears are purged away

Between the mirror and the china doll
I wonder? Which was victorious today?

-- I have tried so hard to stay focused, stay tuned in on my happy thoughts and happy memories, stay dependent upon the little things to keep me from breaking down...how long until I don’t have to try so hard...and my happiness with just kind of...come back.

I've realized why I hate you. It's not because of what you did or did not do. That's actually only a very little part of it. It's the fact that I could be suiting here, thinking of nothing and you pop into my head. There's so many memories involving you. We shared so much. And I guess, ever since that has been over, ever since we stopped sharing it, I've been hurt. It's not the bad memories, either, that hurt me. It's the good ones, that happy ones. The ones that remind me that there was something between us. That at one point I truly DID love you. That between the two of us, we ruined something great...

You brought me up just to bring me down. I don’t need your shit.. I’ve moved on."

Because if I even think there is an ounce of hope, I'll keep pursuing, but if there is not, please be kind enough to let me move on

Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.

Have you ever felt cold, lost and alone, and all you wanted to do was go home and run into the loving arms of your family, and then realized that.... you were already at your house, and you have no where else to go. ~ turtlelover702


If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you, when mountains crumble to the sea there will still be you and me.

"Even if we never talk again after tonight, please remember that I am forever changed by who you are and what you meant to me"

*To be honest, I don't have the words to make you feel better. But I do have arms to give you a hug, I have ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about, and I have a heart that is aching to see you smile again*

"You are everything I never knew I always wanted." -Fools Rush In

"Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you don't deserve what you want" - 10 Things I hate about you

our memories are the only thing that keep me warm.

You make me feel special, more special than anyone ever has made me feel before.

I tell you goodnight with tears in my eyes,
I wish I was there curled up by your side,
Time passes,
But not fast enough,
I try to be strong,
But I’m not that tough,
When I feel you embrace it will be all right,
But my heart aches for you on this lonely night.

Everything in life I have ever loved has faded away. My favorite blue jeans, well they aren’t so blue anymore, my favorite lipstick isn’t the original color it was when I bought it, and my teddy bear is worn and tattered. So what about these feelings for you? Why won’t they fade away too?

Oh sure, I think other guys are cute, but every time I see a cute guy, I remind myself how cute you are. Of how much I love you. Of how sweet you are. Of how you can always brighten my day. And suddenly, that other guy doesn't look all that good anymore

I want you to remember all the things that I said I want you to remember you’re not better off dead...

They say I'm a bitch and that I'm moody, but what they don't see is that it's just a wall protecting myself from getting hurt.

It’s raining now... Should you look out the window and try to count the number of raindrops you see falling from the sky above, that’s how much I m missing you now...

the one thing that keeps me going is knowing that eventually I will see you again.

I know your life hasn't been a fairy tale, but if anyone deserves a happy ending, its you.

No matter how ugly you think you are, that special someone that loves you believes that you are the most beautiful and irresistible thing on earth, and nothing will ever change that.

Sometimes someone says something [really small]
and it fits just right into this [empty place] in your heart

love has no age limit. It’s not like drinking or gambling. You don't have to be 21 to love. I mean when I was 3 I loved my teddy bear. The only difference not is it's about 6'3" with brown hair and blue eyes. He can walk, talk, and this teddy bear can love me back!

Remember when.... ollie-ollie-oxen free meant something...getting high meant swinging at the playground? ...The worst thing u could get from boys were cooties? ...Dad was your hero & mom was the girl u were going 2 marry? ...Your worst enemies were your siblings? Race issues were who ran the fastest, and war was a card game? Life was simple and care free...but what I remember most was wanting to grow up. Ollie-ollie-oxen free is jus some gibberish...getting high is a major issue...and pot isn't just a pan in the kitchen...stds and babies are huge compared to cooties...dads an asshole and mom wants to marry you off...your siblings are your best friends...be nice to them...race issues and war are common things these days, and it's not fun anymore...& sometimes I wish I were 2 again because skinned knees r easier mended than broken hearts...

I C0ULD C0NQUER THE W0RLD WITH 0NE HAND..
AS L0NG AS Y0U WERE H0LDiNG MY 0THER 0NE<3

I have wished on every star that shot across my broken heart...I am still amazed that you came true(Jan Arden)

Maybe I don't have the blonde hair you like; and maybe I don't have eyes like the sky; and I'm not sure if I'm the girl in your dreams but I can show you what love means.


"So she said "did you know? my hearts bleeding for you" and he said "do you mind? you're getting blood on my shoes."

She fell into his arms as she lost control of her tears. She sobbed in agony. He embraced her, nearly squeezing the life out of her. She looked passed the mask and into his eyes. Each of them knowing they had embraced for the last time. At that moment -- their world ended"

"So you buried all your lover's clothes..and burned the letters lover wrote, but it doesn't make it any better. Does it make it any better? And the plaster dented from your fist..in the hall where you had your first kiss, reminds you that the memories will fade.."- Dashboard Confessional

"you probably won't remember, half the things that I’ll never forget "

"Maybe it is not so much that everything happens for a reason, but we can find a reason for everything."

Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceded. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful.

Jealousy is not always from being selfish. Sometimes, it is a love that is so strong that want the best for you.

When you act on your convictions that is when you finally stand for yourself.

Never lie about how you feel because that lie you say could be the reason why your heart is breaking.

Heartbreaks will last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to go. The challenge is not how to survive from them, but to learn from them.

There are two great tragedies in life. One is not getting what your heart desires and the other is getting it.

Sometimes the best way to figure out who you are is to go to that place where you do not have to be anything else.

Love is like a vine that grows uncontrollably into our hearts.

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long for it to begin.

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas. -Linus Pauling

No one is listening until you make a mistake.

Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time. - Elbert Hubbard

I can't do this thing called life without you here with me. ~Beyonce Knowles

When you look at love, you've got to realize that it is always little more than a gamble. Sometimes you'll win, and sometimes you'll lose. The key is to always bet as much emotion as you can, but never more than you can afford to lose. That way, when you win, you'll win big, but those times that you lose, you will leave you with enough emotion to play again.

Listen to me, not everything is as it seems. ~Mona Lisa Smile

Life is a theater...invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.

This is life, not heaven. You don't have to be perfect. ~Gia

Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in-between, through it, and above. ~Gia

You were the one, you were the only one--and you were amazing. ~Gia

Why in childhood and youth do we wish time to pass so quickly--we want to grow up so fast--yet as adults we wish just the opposite? ~My Dog Skip

It's not what I feel for you; it's what I don't feel for anyone but you.

The truth of the matter is that we always know the right thing to do. The hard part is acting upon it.

It's not that I can't live without you; it's just that I don't wanna try. ~Backstreet Boys

Love and stoplights can be cruel. ~Sesame Street

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.

So often time it happens, we all live our lives in chains, and we never even know we hold the key.

Never regret something that once made you smile.

Has anything you've done made your life better? ~American History X

She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own. ~Tori Amos

"The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more
satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought to other people's lives than you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them. " --Rabbi Harold Kushner

Before I say anything else, I gotta let you know one thing, I hate you. No, two things, you have beautiful eyes and I hate you. Why did I follow you? I am such an idiot, I am stuck on you and I can't stand it. It is torture to be with you, you have been teasing me all night long.

I could look at you all day, I think

I wouldn't trust me if I were you

I have to warn you that I'm falling under your spell

I love her to bits and pieces but she tells lies

Stop punishing me for knowing you. I can't help knowing that you've been hurt. Don't hurt me back. Please.

I know that you have an orderly mind but you also love a mystery. Can you let me be a mystery?

You can breathe with me

I promised myself that I couldn't say I love you to another man until I knew, simply knew.
I love you

Her eyes are red from crying. Somewhere along the line, some bastard has been mean to her. I want to be that bastard so I can make it up to her.

Metaphorically speaking, he and I are twins. We're the head and tail of the same coin. What I lack, he boasts, and vice versa, our weaknesses and strengths balancing each other out. More importantly, I have always lived in his head and he in mine, and thus united we have managed to make sense of the world. But as I drift further across this river he will not cross, things have changed.

He was gone by the time I surfaced. Almost always he had to leave before I did. Almost always I wished he could have stayed

I have always taken more out of alcohol than it has taken out of me

I was barely breathing, running out of oxygen, running out of resolve. My face was burning. When he kissed me it was like a ghost kissing a ghost because I couldn't see him and I certainly couldn't recognize myself.

You know, I still shout at him for scratching my car when he hasn't borrowed it. I get irritated when he leaves the top off the toothpaste then I remember it wasn't him, and I still celebrate his birthday every year even though he will never get any older.

We stood close, swaying, not quite touching, until I felt myself start to burn around the edges

He's bad in the only way that bad can be good

You can live in a broken home, you can play with a broken toy but you cannot love with a broken heart.

"Eyes that long to see you, ears that listen to hear you, lips that yearn to kiss you, a heart that beats to love you, arms that ache to hold you, hands that need to touch you, a body that lives to fulfill you, a spirit that dies without you. That’s... love."

"Those who are poor, smile at what they have, yet those who have good fortune, frown at what they do not have."

"Don't you just hate that? Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to talk about bull in order to be comfortable? That's when you know you've found somebody really special, when you can just shut the heck up for a minute and comfortably share a silence."


"when I was younger crying always seemed to be the answer, now that I’m older crying seems to be the only option."

"maybe its the fact that they don’t look, or the fact that I don’t show, either way there are things inside that no one seems to know. I want to show the world. I want everyone to see, all the thoughts and ideas that flow inside of me. Maybe you haven’t noticed, or maybe you don’t dare, to find out who I am to show me that you care. I’m screaming on the inside, a smile is what you see, I am not content with the person I seem to be. There’s a different person on the inside that I cant seem to show, but maybe if you took the time, that person you could know~"

"all the best love stories have one thing in common... you have to go against the odds to get there."

"I see mushy poems 'bout love and guys how long will it be for u to realize words on a screen won't get you a date and if anyone can I can relate don't keep your thoughts in your heart and your head speak what you're thinking, be forward instead you may be too scared afraid of rejection but in the future it'll be a reflection of your courage to say what you're feeling inside the words that you spoke and chose not to hide"

"I Still Remember the things you said ..they replay back in my mind..and your smile u used to send my way is with me all the time. I remember all the things u did back 2 the time when we first met..the memories are all I Have Left of u how could I ever 4geT"

"Why do I always end up thinking of you? Your voice, your smile everything that you do. At first I thought this would never work out. I thought we would never last without a doubt. But I think I'm starting to see what no one else could. That it seemed that no one else would. We're perfect for each other, without a doubt. And this time it really will work out."

I sit here crying, not because I miss having you, but because I will never get the chance to hurt you just as you hurt me ~ DESIREDEYES13

You Showed Me The Worst Kind Of Pain.....
But I’m Stronger And Trust Me I Will Never Hurt Again ~ seza64

Everybody hates, and everybody dies.
Begin to separate, the world is full of lies. ~ Cindee2853

The Rules of Chocolate
Topic: Quotes
author unknown

If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car.
The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.

A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?

If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?

If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?

Money talks. Chocolate sings.

Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.

Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?
A. Because no one wants to quit.

If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

Forever On My Mind:
Topic: Quotes
The fragrance of a yellow rose
Floating about the air,
Reminds me of another time,
And of a beauty so rare.

The melodic strains of an orchestra
Wisping through the night,
Remind me of another time,
And so of a lovely sight.

Remembrance such as these
Flood my thoughts with rhyme
And I can not help but long for
The song of another time.

A time when life made sense to me,
When love was everywhere;
When you and I would dance and dance
While your fragrance filled the air.

Such memories consume me,
And they constantly remind;
That you, my sweet, are in my heart
And forever on my mind.

Home Lyrics



I’ll be coming home
Just to be alone
Cause I know you’re not there
And I know that you don’t care
I can hardly wait to leave this place

No matter how hard I try
You’re never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I’m better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you’re here
This is not my home
I think I’m better off alone
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home

By the time you come home
I’m already stoned
You turn off the TV
And you scream at me
I can hardly wait
Till you get off my case

No matter how hard I try
You’re never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I’m better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you’re here
This is not my home
I think I’m better off alone
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a

Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home

I’m better off alone

No matter how hard I try
You’re never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I’m better off alone
You always disappear
Even when you’re here
This is not my home
I think I’m better off alone
Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a

Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home

Just Like You Lyrics



I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were sitting beside me
Your were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you

I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were sitting beside me
Your were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

On my own, cause I can’t take liven with you
I’m alone, so I won’t turn out like you
Want me to

You thought you were sitting beside me
Your were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

(I Hate) Everything About You Lyrics



Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven’t missed you yet

Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don’t miss you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven’t missed you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me

I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

"It's hard to accept, but you can't change the past. You can't go back and manipulate things to the way you wanted them to happen. Because life’s be meaningless and boring and just not worth living. But you can change the future and that's a beautiful thing about life. Yes, you will make mistakes. And yes, you will have bad days - but as long as you let the past go, you'll have such a gorgeous and bright future ahead of you. Knowing that things were meant to happen. Knowing that each day you will learn something so that you keep growing to be a better person.?

A smile hides a thousand tears and a broken heart

If you look inside a girls heart, you'd see how much she really cries. You'll find secrets hidden, best friends and lies, but what you'll see the most is how hard it is to stay strong when nothings right and everything is wrong.

I'm gonna smile like nothings wrong, talk like everything’s perfect, act like it’s just a dream, and pretend he's not hurting me

The hardest battle your ever gonna fight is the battle to be just you!

Every once in a while this unbelievable sadness comes over my heart and breaks it all over again ... not because of the way things are but the way things could have been

This isn't a perfect world, people get hurt. You smile when you feel like crying, you act like you're okay when you're falling apart, but you got to let go and move on...because there's nothing else you can do.

Nothing can take back the things that you said-it's nearly engraved in my head.

There's been a few times where I wanted to die. But you can't give up, even if all you do is cry. If they see they got to you, then they are going to think that they have you beat. Swallow your tears, stand up on your own two feet, and show them that you aren't giving up - No matter what.
