"When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty." I believe that's in my sig, I wish I knew who said it.
Then that quote from Coach Carter
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our dark that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you.We are all meant to shine as children do. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsiously give other people to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson

A quote from a book that really stuck with me, opening sentence from the second chapter:
Richard Dawkins wrote:
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all of fiction; jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthisty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
Another from one of my favorite movies:
Yuri Orlov wrote:
Every faction in Africa calls themselves by these noble names - Liberation this, Patriotic that, Democratic Republic of something-or-other... I guess they can't own up to what they usually are: a federation of worse oppressors than the last bunch of oppressors. Often, the most barbaric atrocities occur when both combatants proclaim themselves freedom-fighters.
And tons of great quotes from my childhood hero, here's a couple:
General Patton wrote:
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
General Patton wrote:
It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading.
General Patton wrote:
If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn't thinking.
General Patton wrote:
Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
General Patton wrote:
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
General Patton wrote:
May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.
General Patton wrote:
You're never beaten until you admit it.
General Patton wrote:
A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood.
General Patton wrote:
I dont give a damn about the color of your skin, just kill as many sons of bitches wearing green as you can.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion - I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more - I could be martyred for my religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that. -John Keats
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity, it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance. -John Keats
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress. -Lord Byron
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine. -Lord Byron
But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence; the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of. -Lord Byron
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep. -Lord Byron
For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear. -Lord Byron
In solitude, where we are least alone. -Lord Byron
Man's love is of man's life a part; it is a woman's whole existence. In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love. -Lord Byron
Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore. -Lord Byron
Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life. -Lord Byron
'Tis very certain the desire of life prolongs it. -Lord Byron
Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. -Lord Byron
You speak of Lord Byron and me; there is this great difference between us. He describes what he sees I describe what I imagine. Mine is the hardest task. -John Keats
"He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers"
What one thing can heal our land? Our world? The quote above from the last message of the LORD prior to 400 years of >SILENCE< that proceeded the birth of The Christ. Oftentimes silence can be more eloquent than the SHOUT, n'est-ce pas?
I've imagined a day where dads would pick up their kids at school. Imagined myself doing this. I've imagined a day where dads thought playing with their kids was more important than work. Imagined myself doing this as well. I've imagined a day where dads understood the needs of women and wives. Imagined this, but never realized. It takes two together to make one.
Teach a man to fish and he will go out and buy expensive fishing equipment, stupid looking clothes, a sports utility vehicle, travel 1000 miles to the "hottest" fishing spot, and stand waist deep in cold water just so he can outsmart a fish.

Pardon me, Mr. Grimm - I know you asked "Keep it Serious" but sometimes I can't resist. Like this one: "Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time."
On a more serious note, why do we find humor in things that are oftentimes boiled down to their lowest basic elements as sadness or fear?
