Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Plenty of effort and innards!

Akagi is cool!

A boy has the right to dream...

There are endless possibilities stretched out before him...

What awaits him down the path, he will then have to choose...

As they search they are always asking questions, What's out there?, What's waiting for me?...

Believe in yourself and create your own destiny.

Don't fear failure.

Each difficult moment has the potential to open my eyes and open my heart.

The Past: Our cradle, not our prison; there is danger as well as appeal in its glamour. The past is for inspiration, not imitation, for continuation, not repetition.

The mere idea of Peter Cullen doing a Toonami promo for TTGL makes my pants explode with semen.

Toonami was Cartoon Network's primary action-animation block.

Toonami: Digital Arsenal is a stockpile of movie files, images, articles, video games, and other things from and about Toonami and its shows.

Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don't take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.

Peter Cullen's voice could make ANYTHING epic. Imagine if he narrated porn.

What? Porn doesn't have narration? IT DOES NOW, BITCH!

Don't believe in what other people tell you, sift over the contents of what they are telling you, evaluate the motives and mindset of the speaker, and than determine the validity of the comment or come to an understanding of the speaker's perception. Utilize this information to make better choices, but never trust that your choice is actually the best one.

>>28490287
>implying porn isn't already epic

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole galaxy decides that something wrong is something right.

This brigade was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or consequences.

When the mobs, the press and the whole galaxy tells you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth and tell the world, "No, you move."

In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

Man plans, God laughs.

That which does not kill you postpones the inevitable.

The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems. Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience and marks unbelievers for murder.

The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God and that liberty and justice light the path to peace.

This is the belief that gave birth to our nation. And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

Some Places Remain Unknown Because No One Has Ventured Forth. Others Remain So Because No One Has Ever Come Back.

There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality.

We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

We cannot turn back.

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one.

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

You will never see the old /a/ again

I have often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world and between the two, there can be no compromise. Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere.

Freeing people from oppression and despair is eternally right. This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth. We must always be willing to act in their defense and to advance the cause of peace.

President Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past." As I leave the house he occupied two centuries ago, I share that optimism.

America is a young country, full of vitality, constantly growing and renewing itself. And even in the toughest times, we lift our eyes to the broad horizon ahead.

It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black.

America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict. But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them. We must resist complacency. We must keep our resolve. And we must never let down our guard.

At the same time, we just continue to engage the world with confidence and clear purpose. In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward. But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism.

Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger. In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad. If America does not lead the cause of freedom, that cause will not be led.

As we address these challenges, and others we cannot foresee tonight, America must maintain our moral clarity.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

When does a man achieve victory? When, after he has honestly applied himself to the task facing him, and having overcome it, is secure in the knowledge that whatever he has accomplished, the fruits of that goal belong to him. He will know. No one else matters.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Timothy McGinty approved defense requests to provide money to hire a private investigator and mental-health consultant. But the judge stopped short of issuing a defense-requested gag order that would have barred attorneys and police in the case from publicly commenting.

Authorities say Sowell lured women to his home and attacked them. The remains of 10 women and a skull were found in the residence or buried in the yard.

Rap's greatest beard is making a big leap here, leaving behind major labels and wannabe major labels for backpack bastion Rhymesayers. On the first leak from The Stimulus Package, Free's terribly-titled collaborative album with producer Jake One, he's adjusted his rapping style not a whit for Atmosphere fans. It ain't, after all, broke, and a few Brother Ali albums have the Rhymesayers base good and ready for wrathful Islamic street-talk. But "You Know What I Mean", while solid, is also pretty slight-- just barely over two minutes of Free declaiming the same hood lessons he's spit a million times over a pleasantly lazy organic-funk track. As a warmup for the album proper, the song does its job, but hopefully the stakes will be a little higher on the tracks we hear later.

The early worm is for the birds.

The thing about the spiral is that it winds outward, and as it does that it grows into an infinite size. I've always imagined hope in a world of sorrow as a spiral. Once it starts, there's no stopping it from spreading to others.

The galloping Italo-disco bass line and luxurious rubber-band synths evoke a night of cosmopolitan-clutching revelry at pricey Manhattan clubs, but the ponderously Depeche Mode-ish song title, unshowy melody, and earnest, expressive vocals tacitly acknowledge our narrator will no doubt be going home as she probably went out: alone. So while the track's moodily retro aesthetic suggests the nocturnal shadows of Glass Candy or Chromatics, its warm heart and bright hooks bring it closer to the communicative synth-pop of Annie, Little Boots, or stated influence Madonna. Confessions on a dance floor, for real.

We who are summoned by the void, we who intervene so as to decide the undecidable, we who are sustained by the indiscernible truth, we who are finite fragments of that infinity which will come to establish that there is nothing more true than the indifferent and the generic, we who dwell in the vicinity of that indistinction in which all reality dissolves, we, throws of the dice for a nameless star—we are greater than the sacred, we are greater than all gods, and we are so here and now, already and forever.

At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like an even bigger loser.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America: They will be met.

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

Time and again, these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.

This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions -- that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.

god i needed this.

thank you OP for helping me.

This is not complicated. We know that our planet is enveloped in a blanket of greenhouse gases that keep the Earth at a comfortable temperature. As we pump more carbon-dioxide and other greenhouse gases into that blanket from cars, buildings, agriculture, forests and industry, more heat gets trapped.

What we don’t know, because the climate system is so complex, is what other factors might over time compensate for that man-driven warming, or how rapidly temperatures might rise, melt more ice and raise sea levels. It’s all a game of odds. We’ve never been here before. We just know two things: one, the CO2 we put into the atmosphere stays there for many years, so it is “irreversible” in real-time (barring some feat of geo-engineering); and two, that CO2 buildup has the potential to unleash “catastrophic” warming.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

The Chinese market is “on full tilt — booming is an understatement these days,” said John Bonnell, the director of Asia vehicle forecasting at J.D. Power & Associates.

China is pulling ahead at this particular moment partly because Americans, debt-laden and worried about their jobs, are pulling back. After decades of gorging on consumption, Americans are saving. And the Chinese, whom economists thought were addicted to saving, are spending more.

Among China’s 1.3 billion people, rising incomes are finally making large numbers of Chinese prosperous enough to make big-ticket purchases.

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.

Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.

We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.

We will be united in our common interests.

Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.

What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them -- that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works -- whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account -- to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day -- because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.

>>28491109
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.

And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on!

We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

That “color touch screen,” for example, is actually just a horizontal strip beneath the regular Kindle-style gray screen. (In effect, it replaces the Kindle’s clicky thumb keyboard.)

This screen is exclusively for navigation and controls. Sometimes it makes sense; when you’re viewing inch-tall book covers, for example, you can tap to open one.

At other times, the color strip feels completely, awkwardly disconnected from what it’s supposed to control on the big screen above.

Worse, the touch screen is balky and nonresponsive, even for the Nook product manager who demonstrated it for me. The only thing slower than the color strip is the main screen above it. Even though it’s exactly the same E Ink technology that the Kindle and Sony Readers use, the Nook’s screen is achingly slower than the Kindle’s. It takes nearly three seconds to turn a page — three times longer than the Kindle — which is really disruptive if you’re in midsentence.

Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can fall.

The 'once' of suffering is a transition, a passage-way. Thou must go through it, and though it were to last as long as life, and though it were as hard as a sword which transfixes your heart, it is yet only a passage-way. It is not true that it is the suffering which goes through thee, it is thou that goest through it in the eternal understanding of the case, entirely unharmed.

FUCK YEAR!

In the last decade, brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, have made the jump from speculation to preliminary medical reality. Since Wired reported on quadriplegic BCI pioneer Matthew Nagle four years ago (”He’s playing Pong with his thoughts alone“), the interfaces have been used to steer wheelchairs, send text messages and even to Tweet. They’re so advanced that some researchers now worry about BCI ethics — what happens when healthy people get them? And they’re concerned about the threat posed by hackers.

But as amazing as these early BCIs are, they’re far from street-ready. Systems based on translating electrical signals captured by electrodes on patients’ scalps are notoriously slow, capable of producing about one word a minute. If researchers put electrodes directly into patients’ brains, the results are better — but that raises the possibility of dangerous infection. And from a purely practical point of view, wires just get in the way.

Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you.

Have we the nerve and the will? Can we carry through in an age where we will witness not only new breakthroughs in weapons of destruction, but also a race for mastery of the sky and the rain, the ocean and the tides, the far side of space, and the inside of men's minds?

That is the question of the New Frontier.

That is the choice our nation must make -- a choice that lies not merely between two men or two parties, but between the public interest and private comfort, between national greatness and national decline, between the fresh air of progress and the stale, dank atmosphere of "normalcy," between dedication of mediocrity.

All mankind waits upon our decision. A whole world looks to see what we shall do. And we cannot fail that trust. And we cannot fail to try.

Some of the best evidence that a better Mandelbulb could be out there is that some sections of the current version just don’t have enough detail, even at the 8th power. “Whipped cream” parts like the one above are not what a true 3-D Mandelbrot would look like.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it.

"Let it be told to the future world ... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive... that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."

America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

I have a theory, too, that the best and only answer to a smear or to an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth. And that's why I'm here tonight. I want to tell you my side of the case. I'm sure that you have read the charge, and you've heard it, that I, Senator Nixon, took 18,000 dollars from a group of my supporters.

Now, was that wrong? And let me say that it was wrong. I'm saying, incidentally, that it was wrong, not just illegal, because it isn't a question of whether it was legal or illegal, that isn't enough. The question is, was it morally wrong? I say that it was morally wrong -- if any of that 18,000 dollars went to Senator Nixon, for my personal use. I say that it was morally wrong if it was secretly given and secretly handled. And I say that it was morally wrong if any of the contributors got special favors for the contributions that they made.

It is your choice to be the better man and to do the right thing, but in a world where everything is controlled and driven by existence, where on a scale beyond the subatomic everything is predictable and calculable. In a world where everything can be determined how can the choice truly be yours to make?

And now, finally, I know that you wonder whether or not I am going to stay on the Republican ticket or resign. Let me say this: I don't believe that I ought to quit, because I am not a quitter. And, incidentally, Pat's not a quitter. After all, her name was Patricia Ryan and she was born on St. Patrick's day, and you know the Irish never quit.

But the decision, my friends, is not mine. I would do nothing that would harm the possibilities of Dwight Eisenhower to become President of the United States. And for that reason I am submitting to the Republican National Committee tonight through this television broadcast the decision which it is theirs to make. Let them decide whether my position on the ticket will help or hurt. And I am going to ask you to help them decide. Wire and write the Republican National Committee whether you think I should stay on or whether I should get off. And whatever their decision is, I will abide by it.

When around me all has become still, solemn as a starlit night, when the soul is all alone in the world, there appears before it not a distinguished person, but the eternal power itself. It is as though the heavens parted , and the I chooses itself or, more correctly, it accepts itself. The soul has then seen the highest, which no mortal eye can see and which never can be forgotten. The personality receives the accolade of knighthood which ennobles it for eternity. He does not become someone other than he was before, he becomes himself; consciousness unites.

Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what your bank account was, the sort of house you lived in, or the kind of car you drove... But the world may be different because you did something so bogglingly crazy that your ruins become a tourist attraction.

But just let me say this last word: Regardless of what happens, I'm going to continue this fight. I'm going to campaign up and down in America until we drive the crooks and the Communists and those that defend them out of Washington. And remember folks, Eisenhower is a great man, believe me. He's a great man. And a vote for Eisenhower is a vote for what's good for America. And what's good for America....

You may wonder often if you're a failure. If you should grow up, act your age, act normal. But emotions are the cornerstone of humanity, and the entertainment you derive from anime is no less valid than the entertainment someone derives from a more mainstream lifestyle.

You're just as mature as anybody else is, maybe moreso for willing to stick with something you enjoy despite the mainstream's distaste for it. You are not a failure. And don't let anybody ever tell you otherwise.

“Grand proposals for ocean fertilization, orbiting mirrors, genetically engineering biofuels, painting rooftops white, cloud-generating ships and the like all point toward the future of Earth science as an applied discipline with the human future in the balance,” wrote Erle Ellis and Peter Haff, Earth scientists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore and Duke University, respectively, in Eos, the member newspaper of the American Geophysical Union.

Ellis and Haff take their cue from Sir Joseph Roblat, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who argued “the time has come to formulate guidelines for the ethical conduct of scientists.” Their call to action is particularly timely with the Copenhagen climate negotiations focusing attention yet again on the difficulties of climate change and politically dealing with it. Hacked e-mails from a British research center have also brought increased scrutiny of the world of climate science in the past few weeks.

The first piece of advice is just a no-brainer. If you can’t handle the network traffic, stop selling a device that comes with a promise of unlimited 3G data service.

The second one is pretty straightforward as well. The cellphone industry likes to say that heavy usage from more than a single user at the same time on the same tower can block others from even using their cellphones to make calls or send text messages.

Time heals all wounds. But it usually leaves a pretty big scar.

I am very grateful for the many, many people - clergy and ordinary citizens alike - who have written me with wise counsel. I am profoundly grateful for the support of so many Americans who somehow through it all seem to still know that I care about them a great deal, that I care about their problems and their dreams. I am grateful for those who have stood by me and who say that in this case and many others, the bounds of privacy have been excessively and unwisely invaded. That may be. Nevertheless, in this case, it may be a blessing, because I still sinned. And if my repentance is genuine and sustained, and if I can maintain both a broken spirit and a strong heart, then good can come of this for our country as well as for me and my family. (Applause)

The children of this country can learn in a profound way that integrity is important and selfishness is wrong, but God can change us and make us strong at the broken places. I want to embody those lessons for the children of this country - for that little boy in Florida who came up to me and said that he wanted to grow up and be President and to be just like me. I want the parents of all the children in America to be able to say that to their children.

Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can borrow mine.

"The smart man knows bandages only hides his wounds."

Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great Continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe. When that day finally comes, as it will, the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades.

All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner."

There's a coincidence today. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and a historian later said, 'He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.' Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake's, complete.

The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honoured us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.'

Thank you.

Some people dream of success, while other people live to crush those dreams.

It may also come as a surprise to some of you, but I want you to know that you have my admiration and my respect. Yours is a most honorable profession. Anyone who is in the broadcasting business has a tough row to hoe. You earn your bread by using public property. When you work in broadcasting you volunteer for public service, public pressure, and public regulation. You must compete with other attractions and other investments, and the only way you can do it is to prove to us every three years that you should have been in business in the first place.

I can think of easier ways to make a living.

But I cannot think of more satisfying ways.

I admire your courage -- but that doesn't mean that I would make life any easier for you. Your license lets you use the public's airwaves as trustees for 180 million Americans. The public is your beneficiary. If you want to stay on as trustees, you must deliver a decent return to the public -- not only to your stockholders. So, as a representative of the public, your health and your product are among my chief concerns.

Indifference elicits no response. Indifference is not a response. Indifference is not a beginning; it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor -- never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten. The political prisoner in his cell, the hungry children, the homeless refugees -- not to respond to their plight, not to relieve their solitude by offering them a spark of hope is to exile them from human memory. And in denying their humanity, we betray our own.

Indifference, then, is not only a sin, it is a punishment.

And this is one of the most important lessons of this outgoing century's wide-ranging experiments in good and evil.

Everyone is unique in life, but not death.

But this time, the world was not silent. This time, we do respond. This time, we intervene.

Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it mean that society has changed? Has the human being become less indifferent and more human? Have we really learned from our experiences? Are we less insensitive to the plight of victims of ethnic cleansing and other forms of injustices in places near and far? Is today's justified intervention in Kosovo, led by you, Mr. President, a lasting warning that never again will the deportation, the terrorization of children and their parents, be allowed anywhere in the world? Will it discourage other dictators in other lands to do the same?

What about the children? Oh, we see them on television, we read about them in the papers, and we do so with a broken heart. Their fate is always the most tragic, inevitably. When adults wage war, children perish. We see their faces, their eyes. Do we hear their pleas? Do we feel their pain, their agony? Every minute one of them dies of disease, violence, famine.

Some of them -- so many of them -- could be saved.

FIRST: We are passing through a world crisis. All thinkers of every land tell us so; and that nothing after the great war will be as it was before. Those who profess to know, claim that 100 millions of dollars are being spent on the war every day and that 2 years of war have cost 50 billions of dollars or 10 times more than the total expense of the American Civil War. Our own country has sent 35 millions of dollars abroad for relief expenses.

Were there no other effects to come from the world's war, the transfer of such unthinkably vast sums of money from the usual avenues to those wholly abnormal would give so severe a jolt to organized society that it would vibrate around the world and bring untold changes in its wake.

Have you ever pulled a mussel, broken a bone, or got a head ache. Have you ever thought the pain may never go away? Some day it wont.

Women by the thousands have knocked at the doors of munition factories and, in the name of patriotism, have begged for the right to serve their country there. Their services were accepted with hesitation but the experiment once made, won reluctant but universal praise. An official statement recently issued in Great Britain announced that 660,000 women were engaged in making munitions in that country alone. In a recent convention of munition workers, composed of men and women, a resolution was unanimously passed informing the government that they would forego vacations and holidays until the authorities announced that their munition supplies were sufficient for the needs of the war and Great Britain pronounced the act the highest patriotism. Lord Derby addressed such a meeting and said, "When the history of the war is written, I wonder to whom the greatest credit will be given; to the men who went to fight or to the women who are working in a way that many people hardly believed that it was possible for them to work." Lord Sydenham added his tribute. Said he, "It might fairly be claimed that women have helped to save thousands of lives and to change the entire aspect of the war. Wherever intelligence, care and close attention have been needed, women have distinguished themselves." A writer in the London Times of July 18, 1916, said: "But, for women, the armies could not have held the field for a month; the national call to arms could not have been made or sustained; the country would have perished of inanition and disorganization. If, indeed, it be true that the people have been one, it is because the genius of women has been lavishly applied to the task of reinforcing and complementing the genius of men. The qualities of steady industry, adaptability, good judgement and concentration of mind which men do not readily associate with women have been conspicuous features."

Courage is not the absence of fear.

It's the ability to face it.

Climb to high and you will end up falling to your death.

The war will soon end and the armies will return to their native lands. To many a family, the men will never come back. The husband who returns to many a wife, will eat no bread the rest of his life save of her earning.

The pain may last forever, but you wont.

You don't really have to eat your vegetables. In the end, you will still grow old, get ugly, and die alone.

It takes 17 muscles to fake a smile, 43 to frown and express your feelings, but only three for a proper trigger squeeze to end it all.

We first came into this world naked, screaming and covered in blood. Why not go out the same way?

Not everyone is given equal stat points, and even if they were they wouldn't use them all.

The world may be an oyster, but you are allergic to shellfish.

Immortality would be horrible, you'd become lonely and miserable. But how is that different than your life other than in death?

You say virgin, I say productive. Why waste time on reproduction if it will all be destroyed and fizzled away in less than a blink of a cosmic eye.

i don't get why everyone still has a spiralboner over this show

the mecha look like retarded children's drawings: arms and legs coming out of faces
every battle is exactly the same
i mean shit, the winner is determined by who has superior hustle? srsly???
i GREATLY preferred Geass where fights were won by the people with superior strategy and skill... not "fighting spirit"

srsly. the fuck

but hey, far be it from me to say it isn't manly to believe in yourself and your friends and have dreams and a big heart....pussy

No one in the world is the same. It is the responsibility of those who have the knowledge, wisdom, and virtue to govern to look after those who are meant to stay in their place; all cogs in the machine.

I TEACH YOU THE SUPERMAN. Man is something to be surpassed. What have ye done to surpass man?

All beings hitherto have created something beyond themselves: and ye want to be the ebb of that great tide, and would rather go back to the beast than surpass man?

What is the ape to man? A laughing- stock, a thing of shame. And just the same shall man be to the superman: a laughing-stock, a thing of shame.

Your socks have gone missing again, you can blame science for that one.

You have two hands.
You have two feet.

These are the greatest gifts you'll ever be given in your life.

With those hands you will move the world.
Those legs will hold your back straight to leave those who are wrong.

No army, no machine, no false banner will ever change that.

You have two hands.
You have two feet.

These are the greatest gifts you'll ever be given in your life.

We will change those hands to prevent the destruction they can cause.

We will ensnare those legs to keep you plunging headlong over a cliff

No desires, no wishes, no false hope will ever change that.

Feel content with dying at any moment. You were born as a stepping stone and were not born high enough in the chain of time to have any meaningful effect on a universal scale.

Archive for AS derailment.

Give it one hundred ten percent effort and from the viewpoint of the world you would have given non at all.

Behind every great man is a great woman waiting with a knife to his back.

somebody's new here.

Everything is predictable in life due to the materials everything are made out of being predictable. Even so, if you could calculate and figure out what was going to happen next could you change it? Nope, because it would be impossible to calculate it because the simple act of calculations would add calculation and this would spiral into an infinite recursion you could never defeat.

Even so, this world, this universe will have moved! You're too attached to this thing called life!

Life is a means to an end. If you die accomplishing something great, moving this world, then it was worth it!

Even in death we have a say in life. Because now, no matter what you do, what you say, there will always have existed a man that said NO!

And for that brief second, you are powerless!
This is why we will always win!
