Relax-This wont hurt...-Hunter S Thompson(Last line of suicide note,before pulling the trigger)

There are a lot of quotes which I like...............just two are 'The voice of the sea, speaks to the soul' and 'Self pity's like quicksand, it gets you nowhere fast'.

The quicksand one I tell myself regular, there is a difference from self pity and suffering but sadly the two are mingled.
The sea one is in my heart, the sea and me are best of friends.

For some reason, I was expecting the first one to end with a smartass punchline. I was so ready for it!

I absolutely love Lao Tzu's take on the second one.

Marcus Aurelius asks himself why he cares what others think when they are not satisfied with themselves. Ima use both quotes now. Thank you.

Lao Tzu was incredibly wise and have always been enthralled by his words. Aurelius was great and again he has always resonated with me. I gave up worrying what people thought of me ages ago. I maybe suicidal and struggling but am damn proud of who I am. I don't need someone to give me their approval that I am ok. Glad you liked the quotes. I really have a thing for quotes, just such wisdom in a few words-priceless.
I wonder what sort of punchline you were expecting

I don't know what punchline I was expecting. Just something wonderfully dark and sarcastic. Okay, fine, I'll try to make something up to do my vision justice.



Don't lose hope.
When the dictator is deposed,
you might agree with the new oppressor.

Or

Don't lose hope.
When the magic bean seller comes,
you'll have nothing to trade.

Or

Don't lose hope.
A pile of shit that big,
there's gotta be pony in there somewhere.


I didn't make that last one up, just reformatted it.

That reminds me one of my favorite quotes, overheard on the movie set as the massively egotistical Orson Welles walked past:

There but for the grace of God...goes God.

Not that I am able to live up to this as much as I would like:

Whatever you can do
Or dream you can
Begin it.
Boldness has
Beauty, Power, and
Magic in it.

We must not cease from exploration
and the end of all our exploring will
be to arrive where we began
and to know the place for the first time.
T.S. Eliot

Faith in oneself is the best and safest course. Michaelangelo

We need to have spaces inside ourselves where we can have a feeling, an impulse, or a desire without acting it out. We need self-control without repression.

Love these.......real good they are. I usually stick to sensible/touching quotes to help me along, but like to have a chuckle too along the way with some funny or sarcastic ones also. Thanks for replying.
