    "It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not." Not sure who said it, I've heard a lot of people quoting it including Kurt Cobain and Peter Steele
    I want to get a few phrases tattooed on me, they would be:
    "And all our yesterdays lighted fools the way to dusty death." William Shakspeare
    "I don't care to know the hour, 'cause it's passing anyway" Tomorrow is Today-Billy Joel
    (In Swedish) "In death, there is life" from a Meshuggah song
    "To set your mind free, you must first just listen. Don't waste your life on worthless hate and contradiction" A Future Uncertain-Nevermore

    “I’m wishing he could see that music lives. Forever. That it’s stronger than death. Stronger than time. And that its strength holds you together when nothing else can.”

    “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

    “People say I make strange choices, but they’re not strange for me. My sickness is that I’m fascinated by human behavior, by what’s underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people.” — Johnny Depp

    “I’m intimidated by the fear of being average.”

    “Real life is a funny thing you know.
    In real life saying the right thing, at the right moment is beyond crucial.
    So crucial in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
    But lately what I’ve began to fear more than that, is letting the moment pass with saying anything.
    I think you deserved to look back on your life without this chorus of resounding voices saying, I could of but it’s too late now.
    So there’s a time for silent, and there a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say.
    You’ll know it.
    I don’t think you should wait.
    I think you should speak now.”

    "There is no such thing as IMPOSSIBLE, because the word itself says I'M POSSIBLE." - Katherine Hepburn

    "Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired." - George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

    "The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total *kitten*. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds." ~Henry Rollins

    "Don’t be afraid of misfortune and do not yearn after happiness. It is, after all, all the same. The bitter doesn’t last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing. It is enough if you don’t freeze in the cold and if hunger and thirst don’t claw at your sides. If your back isn’t broken, if your feet can walk, if both arms work, if both eyes can see, and if both ears can hear, then whom should you envy? And why? Our envy of others devours us most of all. Rub your eyes and purify your heart and prize above all else in the world those who love you and wish you well."

    -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn

    The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...
    -- Jack Kerouac

    The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
    -- Friedrich Nietzsche

    To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.
    -- Friedrich Nietzsche

  • It is never too late to be what you you might have been.
  • I enjoy lifting weights, so this Ode to weightlifting is a favorite of mine:

    "The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total *kitten*. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the darkest hours. I have found the Iron to be amongst my greatest of friends. It never freaks out on me, it never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds." ~ Ode to Weightlifting
