    I love quotations...anyone have some you'd like to share?

    Here's a couple I like to remember...

    "Intellectual liberty is the air of the soul, the sunshine of the mind, and without it, the world is a prison, the universe a dungeon."
    -Robert Ingersoll

    "Love, the strongest, and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of laws, of all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful molder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State and church-begotten weed, marriage?"
    -Emma Goldman Marriage and Love

    Ooh. I'll add some of my favorite Fear and Loathing quotes.

    "We had two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, 5 sheets of high powered blotter acid,
    a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers,
    laughers... also a quart of tequila, quart of rum, a case of beer, pint of raw ether, and 2
    dozen amyls......not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious
    drug collection... the tendency is to push it as far as you can."

    "Getting hold of the drugs and shirts had been no problem.. but the car and tape recorder were
    not easy things to round up at 6:30 on a Friday afternoon in Hollywood."

    "You can turn your back on a person, but, never turn your back on a drug. Especially when it's
    waving a razor-sharp hunting knife in your eye."

    "Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder
    will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart.
    Make the bastard chase you. He will follow."
