My favorite quotes:
- If the lessons of history teach us anything it is that nobody learns the lessons that history teaches us.
- Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited; imagination encircles the world.
- Albert Einstein
- All magic comes with a price.
Just remember – whatever it is you traffic in, it comes with a price.
- Rumpelstiltskin (Once Upon a Time)
- Everyone wants a magical solution to their problem and everyone refuses to believe in magic.'
- Mad Hatter/Jefferson (Once Upon a Time)
- Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
- Lao-Tze
- One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.
- Gerald Way
- Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn't encompass everything that goes on here, but I still choose to believe in its principle, that all things do come at a price, that there's an ebb and a flow, a cycle, that the pain we went through did have a reward, and that anyone who's determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they expected. I don't think of Equivalent Exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise, between my brother and me. A promise that, someday, we'll see each other again.
- Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist TV)
- Blue sky is in the distance.
It feels so close.
Yet, I cannot grab it even if I reach out with my hands
I looked up at the stars before.
The stars that I cannot reach and the wishes that will not be granted.
There is nothing we have been able to leave behind for each other.
Therefore, traces and memories will disappear someday.
But still..
Even if it will not reach her, there should be something that will remain in our hearts.
There is nothing that remains in our hands, but we lived the same time and looked up at the same things.
If I can remember that… I can believe that we can be together even if we are far apart.
- Shirou Emiya (Fate/Stay Night VN)
- So are you saying that Haruhi remodelled the universe three years ago?
- Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya TV)
- Angels banished from heaven have no choice but to become devils.
- Vicious (Cowboy Bebop TV)
- I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, 'Unlimited Blade Works'.
- Archer (Fate/Stay Night VN)
- There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
- Shakespeare
- If you can dream it you can do it.
- Walt Disney
- Son Gohan. It is no sin to fight for what is right. There are opponents with which you cannot talk things out. Set your spirit free to free to your anger. I know how it feels. You just can’t take it any longer. Gohan, nature and he things that I too liked… defend them for me.
-Android 16 (Dragon Ball Z)
- People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”
-V (V for Vendetta)
- Do not trust everyone and everything and make a stand against that which you do not believe. Just be sure to accept the truth when you find it and embrace good in the world.
-Cortez (The Longest Journey)
- But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They've long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying, to get what they want.
Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. That's right. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they're getting f*****d by a system that threw them overboard 30 f****n' years ago. They don't want that.
You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your f****n' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this f****n' place. It's a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in The big club. By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy.
The table has tilted, folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people - white collar, blue collar, it doesn't matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue - these are people of modest means - Continue to elect these rich c***suckers who don't give a f**k about you. They don't give a f**k about you. They don't care about you at all. At all. At all. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.
That's what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue d**k that's being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth: It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."
-George Carlin

Thank you, for your second event participation, in One Divine's Valentine Bash! We hope for those who participated, enjoyed it to it's full extent, but unfortunately, yet again, some users did not receive gifts because of the some who did not feel like taking 5-10 minutes out of their life to actually do what they signed up. No animosity here, just pointing out something ♥ Now with that over, we will head on to new and different things. For now, we introduce a new game brought out by one of our members; JustRad. Name a Flaw, the details to this game will be seen here! I would also like to announce that we will soon be holding something brought back from the dead, though should be one of the most enjoyable of all activities in One Divine; One Divine's Art Competitions will soon be held in the club, and we would love to witness the artistic abilities of you all! So when the time comes, please check out the details and participate for a chance to have your work displayed and a nice award banner to boot!
