"Deep inside, we're all evil."

...thats not true

Tennyo- 10-05-2004
I think that's true. Each of us has a desire that no one knows.

anime- 10-06-2004
I dont have any evil desires..

Well, then let me help rephrase that. mangaworld/wink.gif

When a child is born into this world, he's neither good nor evil. However, the seed of darkness will grow more quickly than the seed of good as it is instinctively "Humane" for a human to seek its own survival and comfort over the expense of others. It is only later on when the child knows what's right and wrong that he finally chooses his "final alignment".

Everything that exists in this world has two sides, light and dark, good and evil, even life and death. No matter how much you wish the other undesirable side such as evil and death to be non-existent, they will always exist for without their existence, we wouldn't even be here wishing them away.

No matter how good a person is, the demonic side of his heart is at most, sealed into a powerful tomb of discipline.

Control the Power, do not let it control you. -- Raistlin Majere

**Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?" Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night." ** Charles M.

"For when the One Great Scorer comes
to write against your name
He marks -- not that you won or lost
but how you played the game."

nope, the evil will always be inside, no matter where, when, however. Hate is a form of evil, even a simple lie, insult, or violence act is evil. At some point people will be driven to do something bad and once they've experience it they'll feel a thrill to do more and that's when the real darkness comes, after all all humans are wretched. There's no real light in this world just darkness, and it'll always win.

What are some of your favorite non-anime quotes?

Here are a few of mine:

"What came first? The music or the misery? People worry about kids with guns or violent videos like some culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands... literally thousands of songs about heart break, rejection, pain, misery, and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"- ?

"Amatuers built the Ark; professionals built the titanic..." -?

"we could learn a lot from crayons- some are sharp, some are dull, some have wierd names and are all different colors- but they all learned to live in the same box." -?

"If you would not be forgotten as soon as you’re dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing." -Benjamin Franklin

“We have learned how to swim the seas like fish, fly the skies like birds, yet, we haven’t learned to walk this earth as brothers and sisters.”-?

Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy. -Dean Koontz

Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the grea-*test*-('") happiness of existence. -Sydney Smith (1771 - 1845)

'Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected. -Charles Lamb (1775 - 1834)

False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.
-Richard Burton

The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary terms. The really important things are not houses and lands, stocks and bonds, automobiles and real state, but friendships, trust, confidence, empathy, mercy, love and faith. -Bertrand Russell V. Delong

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. -Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968), Strength to Love, 1963

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -Albert Einstein

My dear boy, if God had intended for us to walk, he wouldn't have invented roller skates.
- Willy Wonka

"If you believe that your life is not worth living, then believe that another life is worth living for. “- Kestin Stewart

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."- Helen Keller

"To the world, your might be one person; but to one person, you might be the world." -?

"Only someone who has cried a great deal can understand why someone else wants to stop the tears." -V.C. Andrews

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked even before your begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." -Harper Lee ("To Kill a Mockingbird")

"Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon...everything's different." -Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes)

"Those that go searching for love, only manifest their own loneliness. And the loveless never find love, only the loving find love. And they never have to seek for it." -D.H. Lawrence

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months" -Oscar Wilde

"For there is one thing we must never forget… the majority can never replace the man. And no more than a hundred empty heads make one wise man will a heroic decision arise from a hundred cowards."--Adolf Hitler

"Never forget that the most sacred right on this earth is mans right to have the earth to till with his own hands, the most sacred sacrifice the blood that a man sheds for this earth...."--Adolf Hitler

^ Okay, those were to prove a point that a demented genius will forever be a genius...hence the second word in his title.

"No one lives for you, so don't live for anyone else"--My grandmother

"Todos te van a decir que no puedes. Todavia hay hombres que no tienen respeto para mujeres y tus propios amigos tambien pueden ser como ellos. No porque eres mujer, nadamas porque nadie puede creer en ti como TU mismo crees en ti. Y tu es la unica persona que puede decir lo que puedes y no pudes hacer. Mujeres tienen oportunidad, todo mundo tienen oportunidad. No dejas de hacer algo por que alguien te dice la tonteria que no puedes. Yo creo eso es porque algunos personas ya no tratan de hacer nada."-- My great grandfather

^Translation: "Everyone is going to tell you that you can't do it. There are still men out there that don't have any respect for women and your own friends can also be like them. Not because you're a female, just because nobody can believe in you like you believe in yourself. You are the only person that can tell you what you can and can't do. Women now have opportunites, the whole world has opportunities. Don't stop doing something because someone tell you something stupid like: "you can't do it." I think that's why some people don't try to do anything anymore" (My great grandpa was 100 when he said this. He died two years later at the age of 102)

"We could learn a lot from crayons- some are sharp, some are dull, some have weird names and are all different colors- but they all learned to live in the same box" -?

"And when it all ends, where will you be?" -me

@Lady Zeppelin: I think the quote from your grandfather holds a lot of truth. Awesome quote happy.gif

"We manage to storm all the way across France faster then it takes Montgomery to say 'regroup', and here we find ourselves still in Lorraine!" - General George S. Patton.

"Dear God, this is Patton Speaking...

For the past year, we've traveled through the rain and the snow, the wind and the cold. Only to come across more rain and snow, and even MORE win and cold. Now, I've got to ask you...

...WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON!?" - General George S. Patton.
