Quote from: Richard Branson's 2nd Autobiography
Remember, also, that the world is full of people who want to put you right, who want to play the realist to your wide-eyed innocent. P. 110

You, the wide-eyed innocent, are like the boy who declared that the emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes. You are about to change everything. P. 127

Remember: complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to make something simple. P. 166

There is such a thing as enlightened self-interest, and we should encourage it. It is possible to turn a profit while making the world a better place. P. 289

But I felt, and I still feel, it’s more important to do what you believe to be right in life, and if this contradicts your business interests, so be it. Business can’t be allowed to float above ordinary morality. P. 298

The scale of one’s social investments doesn’t matter. What matters is that you operate as a force for good at every scale available to you. An AIDS policy rolled out across the staff of your business is as important as an AIDS policy rolled out across the entire Virgin Group, or across an entire nation. The important thing is to have the idea, and realize it, however modestly. P. 299

Quote from: Arlo Guthrie, [i]'Alice's Restaurant Massacree'[/i]
I said, 'Shrink... I wanna kill. I mean, I wanna kill. I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead, burnt bodies. I mean kill! Kill! KILL!' and I started jumpin' up and down, yellin' 'KILL! KILL!' and then the shrink started jumpin' and we was both jumpin' up and down, yellin' 'KILL! KILL!' And then the sergeant walked in, set me down and pinned a badge on me and said, 'You're our boy.'

Great song by the greatest hippie in the history of hippies.

Quote from: T. E. Lawrence
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.

Ayo did you know back in the day Nixon commissioned some scientists and doctors to do a study on my favorite thing in da whole wide world (WEED) to see if it was harmful or not? (like you need to take more than 5 min to discover that lol)
Long story short, the researchers came back saying that marijuana was more beneficial than it was harmful. Nixon didnt personally agree so he threw da whole report out, *smh* Guess dat cat was expectin the team to come back all sayin smokin pot will make you retarded or some ish. Fuck Nixon :evil:

Also, here's one to blame on 4chan.

"I hate double standards. Why is it that if a woman goes and has sex with a bunch of men, she's called a slut, but if a man does it he's called a homosexual?

While cannabis is not the all encompassing villain that it is sometimes made out to be, it would be a mistake to assume that it is innocent. Use increases ones risk for psychosis and prolongs expression of that psychosis: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21363868
There also seems to be a casual relationship (not to be confused with a causal relationship) between stroke and cannabis use, although the specifics of this relationship are not well understood.
