       This thread is for quotes...whether hilarious, inspirational,
       depressing, or controversial. Let discussion be spurred by and
       inspired by great words; whether of wisdom or idiocy. Thread
       Rules: 1) When you reply, post a quote (should be at the end of
       the post, but no always. Also, if more than one quote in the
       post above, you only need to do one. Everything else is extra
       credit). 2) Analyze others, tell us what you think he or she
       meant by those words 3) in what ways does the quote pertain to
       you? How do you relate?
       "We accept the love we think we deserve." - Charlie.
       I really find this quote to be sad. Kind of depressing, really.
       How many people have given up finding happiness because they
       thought they could find nothing better?
       "I did not come here looking for a fight!"  - Alice
       "Well that's a pity, cuz a fight has certainly found you." -
       Cheshire Cat    (Alice: Madness Returns)
       How many times have we tried to be friends with someone only for
       conflict to be thrust upon us? To me, this quote means that
       while we may be resentful to fight, in the end, we have no
       choice. Such is life, I guess. We want to get through life being
       happy and having everything handed too us, and yet, we have to
       fight, struggle, to get what we want out of life. What say you,
       my fellow posters?

       Well, here is another one :)
       "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability
       of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a
       placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of
       infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The
       sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto
       harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of
       dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of
       reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall
       either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into
       the peace and safety of a new dark age."
       -H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
