Well, Mark Twain made some nifty ones
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principle difference between a dog and a man.
The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.

That's John Donne. I have no idea what you were trying to say for the second quote. "When it was over, all I could think about was how this entire notion of oneself, what we are, is just this logical structure, a place to momentarily house all the abstractions. It was a time to become conscious, to give form and coherence to the mystery, and I had been a part of that. It was a gift. Life was raging all around me and every moment was magical. I loved all the people, dealing with all the contradictory impulses - that's what I loved the most, connecting with the people. Looking back, that's all that really mattered." |

Re: I'm supposed to pick a quote for class.
Your teacher probably wouldn't like this, but I love it: "If you had a spouse that behaved like your government, you could not only break free of the relationship, you might be able to collect damages or even have the offender jailed, or at least ordered to stay away from you." --Joe Sobran Usually, you can't go wrong with quoting those rich, white, wig-wearing slave owners who didn't want to pay taxes: "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." --James Madison And there's a Russian saying I learned that basically says, "the first pancake is always fucked up". The actually saying isn't so vulgar, but "messed up" just doesn't convey the meaning as well, IMO. quote:

Re: I'm supposed to pick a quote for class.
"Theoretical physics is a science locally isomorphic to mathematics"-unknown. Nerdy, but I like it for some reason.
"I could be bounded within a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space"
"To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish 'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil ,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay ,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,"
both from Hamlet, I can't remember where the first is from, but the second is my favourite part of Hamlet's famous soliloquy in act III scene I.
"All science is either physics or stampcollecting"-Arthur Eddington
There's loads of others that I can't remember precisely.

Re: I'm supposed to pick a quote for class.
"I was talking to a friend about it recently and i told him that the thing about making that film that upset me most was how cruel Lars is to the woman he is working with. Not that I can't take it, because I'm pretty tough and completely capable of defending myself, but because my ideals of the ultimate creator were shattered. And my friend said "What did you expect? All major directors are "sexist", a maker is not necessarily an expert in human rights or female/male equality!
My answer was that you can take quite sexist film directors like Woody Allen or Stanley Kubrick and still they are the one that provide the soul to their movies. In Lars von Trier's case it is not so and he knows it. He needs a female to provide his work soul. And he envies them and hates them for it. So he has to destroy them during the filming. And hide the evidence. What saves him as an artist, though, is that he is so painfully honest that even though he will manage to cover up his crime in the "real" world (he is a genius to set things up that everybody thinks it is just his female-actress-at-the-moment imagination, that she is just hysterical or pre-menstrual), his films become a documentation of this "soul-robbery". Breaking the Waves is the clearest example of that.
