worldly wisdoms

[dweep]

Choose life, choose a job, choose a career, choose a family, choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments, choose a starter home, choose your friends. Choose leisure-wear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite and higher purchase and a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you've spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future, choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life, I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons!

where is that from?
reminds me of "american beauty"

Google says it's from "Trainspotting."

Sounds almost Fight Clubbish

Man... I'm disappointed.. go watch trainspotting. Its one of those films that gives perspective in life. btw.. the last sentence in that quote I left out cause it radically changes the entire point, the full quote is as this:

Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

If you have it, you don't need it.
If you need it, you don't have it.
If you have it, you need more of it.
If you have more of it, you don't need less of it.
You need it to get it.
And you certainly need it to get more of it.
But if you don't already have any of it to begin with, you can't get any of it to get started, which means you really have no idea how to get it in the first place, do you?
You can share it, sure, you can even stockpile it if you'd like, but you can't fake it.
Wanting it, needing it, wishing for it.
The point is, if you've never had any of it, ever, people just seem to know.

Who else finds it weird to write down [OK, it's the nineties, copy-paste] such a long string of 'words of wisdom', then only to leave out the last sentence because it does not fit your point ?

God is.

Sorry, thread hijacking completed. I don't have a quote of my own, I hate quotes, and you can quote me on that.

Quidquid latine dictum sit altum videtur

[Daedalus]

Φύσις: φύσις ἐστὶν ἡ ἁπλω̂ς τω̂ν ὄντων κίνησις, πεντάτροπος δὲ αὕτη: ἡ νοερά, ὡς ἐπὶ ̓Αγγέλων, ἐξ αὐτω̂ν τω̂ν νοημάτων ἀλλή- λοις συγγινομένων.
