“To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.' How monotonous, how useless this becomes. What about the honors of Joan of Arc, Beauvoir, Stowe, Xena, Princess Leia, or women that would truly fight for something other than just their own emotions?” SeemsYoungFightingLove IsEmotionLaughingShareHonorUselessPrincessCreedsYoung WomenArcsMonotonousLeiaHappy ExperienceLive Laugh LoveLive LaughLaugh Love Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“Old age doth in sharp pains abound; We are belabored by the gout, Our blindness is a dark profound, Our deafness each one laughs about.

“And all the time - such is the tragic comedy of our situation - we continue to clamor for those very qualities we are rendering impossible. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” MenQualitySituationLaughingVirtueComedyImpossibleHonorEnterpriseTragicMidstChestsShockedTraitorRenderingClamor Author:C. S. Lewis
“Sometimes just being an immigrant, I read things the wrong way, and that can be funny. Or I'll put the emphasis on the wrong word, and that can be funny.

“And for adults, the world of fantasy books returns to us the great words of power which, in order to be tamed, we have excised from our adult vocabularies. These words are the pornography of innocence, words which adults no longer use with other adults, and so we laugh at them and consign them to the nursery, fear masking as cynicism. These are the words that were forged in the earth, air, fire, and water of human existence, and the words are: Love. Hate. Good. Evil. Courage. Honor.

“If you won’t marry me for the sake of your own honor, then do it for the sake of everyone who would have to tolerate me otherwise.

“Who Honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us...and at the same time sings that we'll never die? Who teaches us what's real...and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us...and who holds the key that can set us free? It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!” NeedsRealLyingDiesFightingTeachLaughingKeysHonorWeaponsMonstersChainsSuckerThose We LoveSucker Punch Author:Zack Snyder
