“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”

“Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they’re eating sandwiches.” - Jim Carrey

“There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.” - Christopher Morley

“The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, I was wrong.” - Sydney J. Harris

“Remembering you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” - Steve Jobs.

“Instead of thinking about what you are going to do when you retire, think about how you can do that now and make a living from it.”

A few that struck me recently:

quote:

---

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness." -MLK

quote:

IMITATION IS SUICIDE.

A random voice of reason on Yahoo:

quote:

---

Group-think is the first step on the road to mob-rule. A philosopher long ago said, "50,000 people can believe a foolish thing,but it's still a foolish thing." Group-think can take these foolish things and set them instone while voices of reason get ignored (or attacked).

I have found through experience that in a group enviornment, the most intelligent contributions are the ones that get dissed. Happens every single time.

Large projects obviously require large numbers of worker bees to execute, but incompetence and inneptitude hide well ina crowd.

I have always found it to be inversely proportional: if you put two half-wits together, theoretically you should come out with a whole mind but you never do - you come out with a quarter-wit. It's been true in any environment I've ever worked in.

Work in groups and maybe do only as good as the dumbest person. Lowest common denominator, weakest link, etc. Pack mentality, mob mentality, --- stupid idiots not listening to reason nor they are capable.

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." - H.L. Mencken

Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Everything they've ever "known"has beenproventobe wrong.A thousand years ago everybody knew as a fact, that the earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew that the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humanswere alone onit. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

The HIGHER form of Aquarius is symbolized by lightening bolts, which in turn symbolize the “stroke of genius.” The Theory of Relativity was not originated by a committee or collective. It was ONE person, Einstein, who had the “stroke of genius” while watching the relative motion of trains. THAT (which is individual) is the HIGHER form of Aquarius. Said differently, it is about a shift in consciousness that begins at the INDIVIDUAL level. To foster the higher form, we must foster the rights of individuals over collectives. (Collectives, really, need no help.)

I suppose most of your picks reflect your Gemini Jupiter - quite a variety. But I suppose the one from Nietzsche is the most Jupiter in Gemini-esque.

Then, the quotes about being an artist are reflected by libra and leo

You must understand the whole of life, not just
one little part of it. That is why you must read,
that is why you must look at the skies, that is
why you must sing and dance, and write poems,
and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
~J.Krishnamurti

People are like a room full of paintings; sometimes you get so busy staring at just one. You sit close to the drawing and admire it; you wish that it could be yours. You keep looking at it, it gets so big infront of you that it blocks out all the other works of art behind it, around it, and around you.

It hurts, it seems like a big deal, because you’re sitting so close to that painting that that one canvas becomes your world, that is all that you can see, and that is all that you know.

It’s about time now, to stand up and look around the room, it’s a very big room, there are many beautiful paintings.

Sometimes it just takes patience for everything to happen. You won't get respect in just one day, you can't be in love with someone you just met, and you won't be able to forgive yourself in a second. I’ve learned that helping people is good, but helping someone too much won't let them grow. You grow by making mistakes, getting hurt and learning from your regrets. Thoughts are there to help guide you to your decision. It’s you that has to take that first step into the pathway of happiness. It’s your doing that makes you who you are. Don’t assume; get your fact straight. That is what messes a lot of people up. There’s always the true story and reasoning behind everything. We are all different, but have one thing in common, we all want happiness. it is like we're all trying to fight for it, trying to get what we want, and it makes us forget the whole reason why we wanted it in the first place. Nobody said life is going to be easy. life is what you make of it. Don’t be selfish. Don’t limit yourself from doing things just because you don't think you can make it through. Remember, time isn't going to wait for you, so. Make the best of it.

I have a huge bunch of quotes saved, but these are 3 out of the many I really like.

Aries rising
Virgo sun
Libra moon, venus and mercury
Virgo mars

I think the combination of cap sun and pisces moon makes someone's ideas seem kind of aquarian. Since aqua is ruled by saturn and pisces and aqua are both very forward thinking and humanitarian.

Capriquarius: Mencken is a riot.

Mintgirl: I love that Krishnmurti quote, too!

***

It'd be hard to choose my all-time favorites but I find myself often quoting these three:

1) When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. -Oprah

2) There is no god higher than Truth. -Gandhi

3) “The word 'belief' is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it - I don't need to believe it. I don't allow myself to believe a thing just for the sake of believing it." -Jung

Sire, only opera can do this. In a play if more than one person speaks at the same time, it's just noise, no one can understand a word. But with opera, with music... with music you can have twenty individuals all talking at the same time, and it's not noise, it's a perfect harmony!

I like the kind of people who experience difficulty while trying hard because they can achieve even greater things. -Nietzsche supposedly but i saw it in a japanese show lol

But sky diving is soo adrenaline rush-y
Don't you want that? I mean having that feeling like you can do anything?

I am somewhat paranoid that the parachute ends up having issues, but not enough to stop me from experiencing that rush!
