01.21.12 | No quote is sufficient to live life by. Quotes are a way to neatly package a messy world. The complexity of life, existence, and the human experience, cannot be distilled into a few cleverly phrased words. |

Who thought it was? It can help, it motivates us. Through the power of words wars have started, many
infatuations have developed, people united,... |

01.21.12 | Wars did not start through a quote. It simply has never happened. The power of words is the reason that I think no quote is sufficient. There have been volumes written, spoken, and heard. To think that quotes can encompass that depth is a bastardization of the beauty of language. |
bakkermaarten007
01.21.12 | I never said quotes could encompass a plea. Nor did I say wars started through a quote, they started
through an interaction of words. Quotes are a collection of words and they can pass the message more
efficiently. Politicians, CEO's, activists,...many of them are reknown for some quote. That alone
proves the power.
But I understand you though, I just think we misunderstood each other. |
drewcordova
01.21.12 | I don't think the example of politicians, CEO's, or activists is necessarily a good one. Many people like that like to reduce complex ideas into simplistic words in order to obfuscate. Whether that's to make money, retain power, or to draw attention. When you say that quotes are good for motivation, I can definitely buy that. Here's one for smokers:

01.21.12 | “Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.” - Christopher Hitchens

01.21.12 | No, it's not. If we'd live without certain principles, without advice from our parents, from idols from other mentors in our lives we'd be nothing more than barbarians. |

01.21.12 | i was joking, auschwitz is clearly the retard. |
