Both are on R.E.M. shirts I have from the Green Tour.

"Baby, nothing lasts forever. Not the mountains or the sea. But the times we've had together, they will always be with me." -"Nothing Last For Long" by The Samples

"Close to the fires and under a trance, the Indians sang and said with their dance, 'Take what you need and leave the rest. Take what you need and leave it alone.'" -"Close To The Fires" by The Samples

"I'll see it when I believe it!" -Trigger11

"People are people so why should it be, you and I should get along so awfully?" -"People Are People" by Depeche Mode

"It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine!" -"It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M.

"The world is fakin' every deal that it makes with every handshake. Sometimes crazy people come into my space I got to handshake. The planet's more fucked up than I'll ever be, I'll ever be. I've got a taste for it. Now I've gotta leave." -“Sundown” by The Jesus & Mary Chain

"She's a kick I couldn't miss. Couldn't miss her little twist. Get it on and get it good. Couldn't guess she ever would. Took up time and took up space. She exists outside my space. All I wanted was too much. All I wanted was to touch" -“Tumbledown” by The Jesus & Mary Chain

"You take me here from far up to the highest star. You took a part of me no one else will ever see. And if I gave away what I'm dying to say, I couldn't give you more than this. I was born and it was bliss. I have died for a thousand years. Tasted salt of a thousand tears. And your kiss was almost gold." -“Almost Gold” by The Jesus & Mary Chain

"Why can't they see what I’m trying to hide? I’m busting a gut, laughing on the inside. It's in their smile when they say hello. I can see they think I’m a little bit slow. But after awhile with me they looked dazed. Their eyes are covered with a doughnut glaze. I really start to cook when I see that look. I hit 'em with every cliché in the book. Their knees wobble and they start to weave. It's like they're begging for permission to leave. They think they're having a brush with stupidity. I don’t laugh, even though it's killing me. Watching 'em wilt like day-old flowers, ticking off the minutes as they turn to hours. They're wondering how much more they can take. I give 'em a friendly smile and a handshake. We say goodbye so very politely. Now say hello to the killer inside me." -“Killer Inside Me” by MC 900 FT Jesus

"Suicide would waste me. Homicide would break me. Tongue tied and tied to the tongue. Oh is life as bad as dreams? I guess that's just the way it seems." -“Halfway To Crazy” by The Jesus & Mary Chain

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at you side!" -Han Solo

"A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack!" -Yoda

"Do or do not! There is no try!" -Yoda

"PISS"

"you better stay home and do as you're told.
Get out of the road if you want to grow old."
From Pink Floyd's Animals album.

[Pyraxis]

"it took God seven days to make this world, but he's still rendering..." (LonTree, CGTalk)


"Just because no understands you does not mean you are an artist." (Chris Dunn)


A woman came up to me and said,
"I'd like to poison your mind,
With wrong ideas that appeal to you,
Though I am not unkind."
They Might Be Giants, "Whistling in the Dark".


"Nine out of ten shrinks agree: one out of ten shrinks is crazy." (Jetson, WrongPlanet)


"You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedoms it gives its assimilated conformists." (Abbie Hoffman)

[Trigger 11]

The whole song is one of my favorites, but the highlighted part is particularly poignant. No matter how much we think we know, there is still an infinite expanse of knowledge and information we will never know, effectively making what we do know next to nil.

"Ana Ng" by They Might Be Giants

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desktop globe
Exit wound in a foreign nation
Showing the home of the one this was written for

My apartment looks upside down from there
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
It's like a whirlpool, and it never ends

(Ann)
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
Of each other's majestic presence
(Listen Ann)
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you

All alone at the '64 World's Fair
Eighty dolls yelling "Small girl after all"
Who was at the DuPont Pavilion?
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?

Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
And in back of the edge of hearing
These are the words that the voice was repeating:

(Ann)
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
Of each other's majestic presence
(Listen Ann)
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you

When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:
"I don't want the world, I just want your half"

They don't need me here and I know you're there
Where the world goes by like the humid air
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away
And the truth is we don't know anything

(Ann)
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
Of each other's majestic presence
(Listen Ann)
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you

(Ann)
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
Of each other's majestic presence
(Listen Ann)
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you

(Ann)
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
Of each other's majestic presence
(Listen Ann)
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you

(Ann)
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
Of each other's majestic presence
(Listen Ann)
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you
