    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
    ~ Niccolo Machiavelli

    ahaha! Very good

    But you know Beirut's wins
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
    Jean Paul Sartre - No Exit 1944

    Just a heads up-this can stay in here if it remains light hearted, otherwise it will have to be moved.

    those are all really funny

    i saw something really funny from the Toronto Metro paper a couple of years ago (February 21, 2003).

    just dug it out right now for all of your enjoyment. it read:

    "Suicide is the third-leading cause of death among U.S. teenagers after accidents and murders"
