Life is like a lobster: on the outside it looks horrendous, but if you learn how to crack it right, it's all warm and good inside (As long as you don't eat the green stuff).
Music Infects your head.
Culture is contagious.
Lazy mind and Lazy body produce sloth. Lazy mind and strong body produce a work horse. Strong mind and lazy body produce efficiency. Strong mind and strong body produce miracles.
Laughter does wonderful things to the texture of reality.
You're Evil and your Mom dresses you funny.
"You must never run from anything immortal -- it attracts their attention." --The Last Unicorn
"There are no happy endings -- because nothing ever ends." --The Last Unicorn
"And there never was an apple, in Adam's opinion, that wasn't worth the trouble you got into for eating it." --Good Omens
The dichotomy shows best in animals--sometimes they behave like sentient beings, at others like organic machines with a few simple survival programs explaining every action. Sometimes light is a particle, sometimes it is a wave. Man is both a machine and a soul--depending on who's watching.
All communication is metaphor.
"To choose order over disorder, or disorder over order, is to accept a trip composed of both the creative and the destructive. But to choose the creative over the destructive is an all-creative trip composed of both order and disorder." --"The Curse of Grayface and the Introduction of Negativism," Principia Discordia by Malaclypse the Younger, K.S.C. as quoted in Illuminatus! (312)
"Your brain is God." -- Timothy Leary
Forget not your dreams.
"I went through all that nonsensical ritual and raised a demon. He wasn't a very big demon, but he was as much as I wanted to try to cope with. The whole secret to raising demons is to confine them in a shape of your imagining rather than their natural form. As long as you keep them locked in your own conception of them, they have to obey. If they manage to break loose and return to their real form, you're in trouble." --Belgarath the Sorcerer, David and Leigh Eddings
If I will not be normal, then let me be paranormal.
Paradoxes:
(following are a series of pairs of statements. The idea is that though they seem to be in opposition, they are both equally true. Understanding and accepting a paradox is a step toward satori.)
You are not alone :: You are unique
Mankind is a robot :: Mankind is spirit
Go with the flow :: Choose your destiny
'Go not gentle into that good night' :: 'Eat your death'
There is no Magic Feather :: There is no Curse
He who hesitates is lost :: Look before you leap
There are no unselfish acts :: Everyone is good in his own heart
The Web of Destiny was woven before Time :: Each of us must choose his own path
Yuletide is the birth of the Sun :: Yuletide is the longest night of the year
Doubt everything :: Believe in miracles
Nothing is permanent :: Nothing ever ends
There is nothing new under the sun :: All things are unique
All for one :: One for all
We have to believe in our free will; we have no choice in the matter. -- Robert Anton Wilson
