All say, "How hard it is that we have to die" - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.

Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.

~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, 1945

Ayn Rand
"So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?"

-from Atlas Shrugged

Ayn Rand Capitalism new and old capitalism!
Traditional Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a
bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and
retire on the income.

New Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the
other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow
drops dead.

Ayn Rand
You have two cows. You sell both so that you can
invest in a new dairy company. After it does well, you sell you stock
and buy a cow farm.
After that does well, you take out a loan using cows as capitol and
build a milk manufacturing factory. After making your milk the most
sold, you sell the company and retire to Hawaii with your millions of
dollars

Bush on Capitalism!
You have two cows. You think that cows and humans can
coexist peacefully. You give all of the milk to the upper class when
they have cows of their own, and the lower class needs milk.

S M Frazier
I love quotations, so many are inspirational ^^ One of my favourites:

"Give me work to do, Give me health, Give me joy in simple things, Give me an eye for beauty, A tongue for truth, A heart that loves, A mind that reasons, A sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, But a true kindness And a noble common sense. At the close of each day give me a book And a friend with whom I can be silent. "

Dead Poet's Society
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. "
