Sometimes you have to do things the hard way, even when it brings less reward. Just because. Just because it hurts. Just because it lets you know you're alive.

It's better to have a few people who honestly care than a lot of people who aren't at all good friends.

Life is full of disappointments, but there are a few things that make it worth it.

If you can't beat them, join them.

Alternatively, if you can't join them, beat them ;)

Perhaps because I'm perusing the Avatar Survival guide at this moment, I'm finding these quotes reflectively insightful.

“There are many dangers on Pandora, and one of the subtlest is that you may come to love it too much.” - Dr. Grace Augustine

“A humanoid singularity attuned to its environment, the Na'vi do not see themselves as separate from Nature, but rather an integral part of it. Humans had a similar interconnectedness with Nature ... a long time ago.”

“The expressive joy with which the Prolemuris moves through Pandora's dense foilage is aerial poetry. We should revel in those moments of highjacked beauty, even if packaged and delivered by RDA media.”


“Despite oppression, the Na'vi retain a joyousness and delight in Pandora's bounty. Community oriented, they emphasize play.”

“The Na'vi have a closeness and community that we, in our high-tech squalor, have lost on Earth. If we learn nothing else, we must learn again to trust when everything else in our diminished lives says we can't.”


“Our hands are arthritic and painful from ill use. We need to be both cunning and skilled, to use our hands again to build things of value.”

“I've heard their music. I hear it in my dreams-sweet and soft and infused with silence alien to the pounding dissonance that counts our days on earth.”

“We've broken the genetic code but we still can't figure out the subtle message of a simple Na'vi drumbeat.”

“We have our own transmitter and receiver!”

"You may find that you feel most alive when you stand closest to death."

na'vi hero 01-20-2012 07:09 PM

you'll never notice till its gone.

You will always find what you were looking for after you gave up.

I love this quote. Hear is another version.

"The closer to death I come, the more alive I feel." This is so true and I always get reminded of it when I do something potentially dangerous but very fun.

Theorist! I'm finding your present status quote needing ... “to stop trying to understand it and just start experiencing it” a powerful thought at the moment. :)

Be good to everybody on the way up, for you may meet them again on the way back down.

Adversity is the fuel of life. Without our emotional, physical, mental struggles there is no challenge, there is no innovation, there is no advance. We cannot grow.

The teaching of Homeopathy - the principle of similarities is such that 'like cures like'. Hence why the cure for Malaria is a poison that in a healthy person, will create symptoms that are like Malaria, but the person already sick with those symptoms gets well. So then what is the cure for 'insanity?

Clarke 01-23-2012 03:36 PM

Science.

(I hope you don't take homoeopathy seriously. :()
