I think words can the highest form of art, and quotes kinda hit the spot for me in said regard... not only the elegant, poignant, and deeply meaningful shit, but what ever makes me FEEL when I hear it. If you have any that incite such a response from you, please share them ^_^ below are a few of my favorites"If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, will we not revenge?" - Shakespeare "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those, who, in time of great moral dilemma, retained their neutrality." - Former U.S. President (me thinks) "My heart is Broke, but I have some Glue, Help me Inhale, Mend it with You..." - Cobain "The single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Him with their lips yet deny Him with their lifestyle. This is what an unbelieving world... finds simply unbelievable." - ? ".... and then I get that feeling; that dread, and I panic. I begin to run.... and then... then I find a balloon, hidden in my suitcase... so there I am, with a bag of junk in one hand, and money for my next fix in the other... and I feel... a total... utter... peace..." - Things We Lost In the Fire "...they deny the sky, but refuse to look up." - ? "Life is, of course, terrible." - Anthony Burgess "I'm taking the cure, so I can have quiet whenever I want..." - Elliot Smith "The sleep of reason breeds monsters." - Goya "Victorious warriors win first, and then go to War, the defeated go to War, and then seek to win." - An Asian Guy "One's belief is less easily shaken than one's knowledge." Adolf Hitler Question #9:Which of these books should I read?I have to read one of these for my English 4 AP class.I'm a 17 year old guy. A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess The Member of the Wedding - Carson McCullers We Were the Mulvaneys - Joyce Carol Oates Bel Canto - Ann Patchett Atonement - Ian McEwan All the Pretty Horses - Cormac McCarthy The Road - Cormac McCarthy Question #10:Which book should I start reading next?Given the choices of:The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky 1984 by George Orwell A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess Question #11:Can someone proofread my paragraph??????“Eye of the Tiger”Taylor Anthony 2nd period 9/9/09 Music can be interpreted differently by many people. Everybody hears it differently. It speaks to them in a way nobody can fathom. To many people “Eye of the Tiger is very inspirational to them. “Eye of the tiger” by Survivor was written for Rocky III the movie. It talks about never giving up and having enough strength to go on and exceed in what you are doing. The song gives you energy to do what you want to do. I think it’s basically saying never give up on your dreams, even if you think that it's impossible. Sometimes you may change your mind about what you want to do in life, but that's only because you think what you want is out of reach. But this song is telling you that if you set your mind to something (eye of the tiger) and don't give up, you can make it. The song is played from parents just listening to oldies to kids about to go on the fields to play. You get ready for any experiences when listening to this before a game. This song has become very popular among marathon runners, weightlifters, and just about anyone facing a challenge. This was the theme song to Rocky III, which was the biggest movie of 1982. In the movie, Rocky Balboa is shown resting on his laurels, living the good life, doing American Express commercials and photo-ops and slacking off his training regimen. In stark contrast were scenes of the ominous Mr. T, training hard, sweating, bleeding and pouring out every last ounce of effort to become the boxing champion of the world. After the death of Rocky's trainer, played by Burgess Meredith, Rocky's friend (and former rival) Apollo Creed, played by Carl Weathers, implores Rocky to get back "The Eye of the Tiger," meaning his edge and his hunger to be the champ. The background information is very important to get the meaning of the song. To me and to a ton of people, Eye of the Tiger will help us realize past dreams and our future dreams we wish to accomplish. The song is a “few” years old. It has to be one of the greatest hits because we kids still listen to it and so do our parents! Everyone can benefit from this song and take something with them that will help them during a challenge in their life. Question #12:I need to find a song that connects with the quote from the book A clockwork orange by Anthony Burgess.?"Does god want goodness or the choice of goodness?Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?"The song I am guessing should be about free will and such and i must explain how this goes along with the quote.
