I see things like this, a rave is my church, dancing is my prayer, DJ is the preacher, Music is the words of god.

Bump your body with the beat,
feel the bass going through your feet.
On and on you dance away,
have the world just fly away.
-- Hibiscus

"...But know that while you may shut down any given party, on any given night, in any given city, in any given country or continent on this beautiful planet, you can never shut down the entire party. You don't have access to that switch, no matter what you may think. The music will never stop. The heartbeat will never fade. The party will never end...." --Ravelinker (forgot who)


and one of my favorite excerpts, for which is my inspiration to become a chef/food critic:

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more. " -- Anton Ego, 'Ratatouille.'

Gary: Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life. and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so "high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls. [turns around and walks off]

unfortunately, so do humans.

sucks, huh?

[Klover]

but salmons are perfectly content with how they die - to fulfill their purpose on earth.

It's the way they live, mate, and pass on their future young.

but is contentment and duty really something to strive for in life?


shouldn't people strive for more than just what they are here for?

From my favorite philosopher, Nietzsche:

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

From Stephen Hawking:

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

Voltaire:

Ice-cream is exquisite - what a pity it isn't illegal.

the difference between being content and being complacent.... is pretty opinionated.

My cynical, realistic side of me is telling me there is no way on earth a raver reads up on Nietzche or Voltaire, and you just quickly copy-pasted some quotes you found online.

But my hopeful, optimistic side is impressed and delighted.
