OT: Great Quote...
I was surfing around today bored at work and ened up at ex vi termini . com again and this is a quote from his latest update...
"After that issue was solved, the power tuning resumed, and it was completed at around 11:30pm last night. We have no idea as to what power the car is producing at the wheels now, because it just fries the tyres. Suffice to say, we free run the GT-3542 turbos without any wastegates now - boost control is for sissies.
"
So it might not be as timeless as the quote from when Winston Churchill was confronted by a woman who told him he was drunk, and so he responded:
"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly."
Feel free to add your favorite quote, I need some entertainment today...

"It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly,
who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings,
who knows the great devotion,
who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at best knows in the end the high acheivement of triumph and who at worst,
if he fails while daring greatly,
knows his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.
-Hunter S Thompson(my idol)
Only the fool hopes to repeat an experience; the wise man knows that every experience is to be viewed as a blessing. Whatever we try to deny or reject is precisely what we have need of; it is our very need which often paralyzes us, prevents us from welcoming a (good or bad) experience.
-Henry Miller (my other idol)
There are countless other great quote from these two great writers. Charles Bukowski is also a great writer similar to these two. I will probably add some more quotes later.

From Hunter.
"I wouldn't recomend sex booze and drugs to everyone. But hey it's worked for me."
Hunter T (And I'm just winging it so I may not be perfect on that one.
My favorite quote is actually from my Cousin.
Woman came up to him at a bar.
"Chris W! I know you, your an arrogant SOB."
"Arrogant... arrogant... OH! You mean Ignorant."

Nightmare,
Methinks you are a writer, or an education in writing(based upon your selections)??
My contribution:
Bounty Killer:"A man has to do something to make a living."
Josey Wales:"Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy."
and another Clint,
horse rustler: "You'll never get me there alive"
Marshall Cooper:"Then I'll get you there dead...boy"

Eric, I am actually a Biology major. That can become very boring so I turn to writers like Hunter and Henry to keep myself sane.
"I didn't want you to think I was stuffy. You know, all brain,no *****."
From the movie "Real Genius"
