It be great if we could all share quotes we have collected. I don’t mean samples from trance songs (so don’t tell me its been done) but anything that has made you think, like bits and pieces of wit, wisdom, proverbs and mind expanding phrases or writings that you find magical or funny and that you think can be appreciated by the psy trance community.
Somebody tried doing this a while back but somebody responded by saying “the best quote is use the search tool” or something like that. But no, I tryed using the search tool to look for “quotes” in the subject and I only found two threads ONLY in regards to <<samples from trance songs>>. So no, as far as I can tell this topic has not been done before. I am hoping everyone can share some nice paragraphs from pieces they have read in books, graffiti, lyrics, graffity on the wall, cosmic messages while tripping or even things that people have told you that changed your mind or produced a good feeling.
So here go mine:
"When we dream alone it is only a dream;
When we dream together, it is the beginning of reality"
Brazilian Proverb
As a man is, so he sees.
WB
"If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?"
-Albert Einstein
"He who argues with a fool proves that there are two."
-Anonymous
God forbid that Truth should be confined to Mathematical Demonstration!
WB
The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies.
-- Sir Francis Bacon
Our theories of the eternal are as valuable as are those which a chick which has not broken its way through its shell might form of the outside world.
-- Buddha
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
-- Buddha
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
-- Buddha
Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
-- Buddha
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
-- Buddha
The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.
-- Matthew Arnold
"Seeing others are as important as myself
I strive for a happiness of mental wealth
With the interconectedness that we share as one
Every action that we take affects everyone
So in deciding for what a situation calls
there is a path for the good for all"
-beasty boys "ill communication"
"Birth makes not a man an outcast,
Birth makes not a man a brahmin;
Action makes a man an outcast,
Action makes a man a brahmin."
-Buddha
Somebody once asked Osho what attitude
should we have about sex. He replied the following:
"No attitude is needed. Only then are you natural. What attitude have
you about your eyes? Are they evil or are they divine? Are you for your eyes or against them? There is no attitude! That is why your eyes are
normal.
Take some attitude -think that eyes are evil. Then seeing will become
difficult. Then seeing will take the same problematic shape that sex
has taken. Then you will want to see, you will desire and you will
hanker to see. But when you see you will feel guilty. Whenever you see
you will feel guilty that you have done something wrong, that you have
sinned. You would like to kill your very instrument of seeing; you
would like to destroy your eyes. And the more you want to destroy them,
the more you will become eye-centered. Then you will start a very
absurd activity: you will want to see more and more, and simultaneously
you will feel more and more guilty. The same has happened with the sex
center."
“Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind.”
-henry miller
Give up sainthood, renounce wisdom, and it will be a hundred times better
for everyone. Give up kindness, renounce morality, and men will rediscover
filial piety and love.
--Lao-Tzu
“When you paint, always be thinking of something else.”
--Salvadore Dali
And my favorite one is this one, which is IMO great advice for music makers:
“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.”
--Mozart
But get this: If you didn't care what happened to me, And I didn't care
for you, We would zig zag our way through boredom and pain. Because In
The End, The Love You Take Is Equal
To The Love You Make. And Long we live and high we fly, smiles we'll
give and tears we'll cry And all we touch and all we see Is all our
life will ever be.
"Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on."
>>>There is nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. It's easy.
========
Trumpets and violins I can-uh, hear in the distance I think they're callin' our name
Maybe now you can't hear them,
but you will, ha-ha,
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people. "
-Bill Hicks
"Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around. An extremely yang solution to a peculiar problem which they faced."
Terence McKenna
"Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable."
Terence McKenna
"The centre of the cyclone is that rising quiet central low-pressure place in which one can learn to live eternally. Just outside of this Centre is the rotating storm of one's own ego, competing with other egos in a furious high-velocity circular dance. As one leaves centre, the roar of rotating wind deafens on more and more as one joins this dance. One's centred thinking-feeling-being, one's own Satoris, are in the centre only, not outside. One's pushed-pulled driven states, one's anti-Satori modes of functioning, one's self-created hells, are outside the centre. In the centre of the cyclone one is off the wheel of Karma, of life, rising to join the Creators of the Universe, the Creators of us. Here we find that we have created Them who are Us."
- John C. Lilly
Row row row your boats gently down the stream; merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream. |

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a
necessary ingredient in living, its a way of looking at life
through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do,
and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

not exactly a Quote, but il put it here anyway!
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus?!? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!! Amen"
- ---George Constanza in Sienfeld

i like this one pretty much:
"To have a grudge on someone is like drinking poison hoping someone else will die" - unknown
then, abraham lincoln said:
"It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it
and remove all doubt"
and by mark twain:
"If we keep in mind that we are all madmen, life looses it's mysteries and explains itself"
from which a personal favourite derives:
"If you think you are not crazy these days you are just not well informed" unknown
and the new german councellor angela merkel said a day before her election:
"...this cause is the reason for the fact that we are going to vote tomorrow"
for the ultimate philosophy, see my signature
