    "Nothing is to be clung to as I, me, or mine." Buddha

    Forgot to add what it means. Everything in life is always moving and changing including yourself so don't try to hold on to things or the past or ideals even about yourself because you are also always changing. I will probably get this tattooed at some point.

    "There's no where you can be that isn't where you're meant to be" - The Beatles... it's on my left arm

    If I got anything else... it would probably quote Hunter S. Thompson

    Believe - because of all the cr!p i've been through in the past year.

    Or "faith, trust and pixie dust" - from Peter Pan, my niece passed away in 2009 and that was her favourite movie so it's kind of fitting

    Vonnegut for me too, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
    Then, Alice in Wonderland (it's not only a child's book, seriously), "we're all mad here", because it reminds me that everyone is a little insane and that I'm surely not the only person who has lost my marbles.
    "To die would be an awfully big adventure" from Peter Pan is one of my favourites, too. Just says a lot about me and growing up and not being that childish thing anymore.
    And, obviously, from Charles Bukowski, "I see men assassinated around me everyday. I walk through rooms of the dead, streets of the dead, cities of the dead; men without eyes, men without voices; men with manufactured feelings and standard reactions;
    men with newspaper brains, television souls, and high school ideas."
    I would love to have those words over my body... I guess I'll just end being a living scrapbook, lol.

    "Remember it happy; the sun in your eyes." - final line from Accident by Nicholas Mosley.

    Just not 100% sure where as I want another quote, non-literary, on my right ribs. Perhaps left arm - I have history there.

    De gustibus non est disputandum

    That phrase has always stuck in my mind for some reason.

    pretty sure it means

    Gusto (or attitude or verve or passion) is not a dispute (argument)... or like passion is not arguing..

    something like that right?

    I dig it!

    "I was born to hustle roses down the avenues of the dead"
    (Bukowski)

    or

    "All the while shall my heart be
    With the bulge and nuzzle of the sea"
    (e.e.cummings)

    I met a guy in a club who had "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man" tattooed round his forearm. It was one of my favorite ever tattoos.
