You guys know how it goes:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know
My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee

    “All fled, all done, so lift me on the pyre;
    The feast is over and the lamps expire.”

    — Robert E. Howard’s suicide note, written June 11, 1936 (85 years ago today)

    ” I appreciate your thoughts on the matter, in fact I encourage you to always challenge me when you feel it’s appropriate. You should never be cowed by authority. Except, of course, in this instance, when I am clearly right and you are clearly wrong.”

  • #66620

    That just reminded me of another one.

    ———-

    As your leader, I encourage you, from time to time and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you’re unconvinced a particular plan of action I’ve decided is the wisest, tell me so, but allow me to convince you. And I promise you, right here and now, no subject will be taboo.

    Except of course the subject that was just under discussion.

    The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or my American heritage as a negative is, I collect your fucking head. Just like this fucker here.

    Now if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now’s the fucking time!

    Simon: You’re in a dangerous line of work, Jayne. Odds are you’ll be under my knife again, often. So I want you to understand one thing very clearly: No matter what you do or say or plot, no matter how you come down on us, I will never, ever harm you. You’re on this table, you’re safe… ’cause I’m your medic.
    River: Also, I can kill you with my brain.

    Fever

    Never know how much I love you
    Never know how much I care
    When you put your arms around me
    I get a fever that’s so hard to bear
    You give me fever

    When you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
    Fever! In the mornin’, a-fever all through the night

    Sun lights up the daytime
    Moon lights up the night
    I light up when you call my name
    And you know I’m gonna treat you right
    You give me fever

    When you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
    Fever! In the mornin’, a-fever all through the night

    Everybody’s got the fever
    That is something you all know
    Fever isn’t such a new thing
    Fever started long ago

    Romeo loved Juliet
    Juliet, she felt the same
    When he put his arms around her
    He said, “Julie, baby, you’re my flame”
    Thou giveth fever

    When we kisseth, fever with thy flaming youth
    Fever! I’m a fire, fever, yeah, I burn forsooth

    Captain Smith and Pocahontas
    Had a very mad affair
    When her daddy tried to kill him
    She said, “Daddy, oh, don’t you dare”
    He gives me fever

    With his kisses, fever when he holds me tight
    Fever! I’m his missus, daddy, won’t you treat him right?

    Now you’ve listened to my story
    Here’s the point that I have made
    Chicks were born to give you fever
    Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
    They give you fever

    When you kiss them, fever if you live and learn
    Fever! ‘Til you sizzle
    What a lovely way to burn
    What a lovely way to burn
    What a lovely way to burn
    What a lovely way to burn

    “Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you’re not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can’t help that. It’s what you do afterwards that counts. That’s when you find out who you are.”

    “In his extreme youth Stoner had thought of love as an absolute state of being to which, if one were lucky, one might find access; in his maturity he had decided it was the heaven of a false religion, toward which one ought to gaze with an amused disbelief, a gently familiar contempt, and an embarrassed nostalgia. Now in his middle age he began to know that it was neither a state of grace nor an illusion; he saw it as a human act of becoming, a condition that was invented and modified moment by moment and day by day, by the will and the intelligence and the heart.”

    Baker Street
    -Gerry Rafferty

    Winding your way down on Baker Street
    Light in your head and dead on your feet
    Well, another crazy day
    You’ll drink the night away
    And forget about ev’rything

    This city desert makes you feel so cold
    It’s got so many people, but it’s got no soul
    And it’s taken you so long
    To find out you were wrong
    When you thought it held everything

    You used to think that it was so easy
    You used to say that it was so easy
    But you’re tryin’, you’re tryin’ now

    Another year and then you’d be happy
    Just one more year and then you’d be happy
    But you’re cryin’, you’re cryin’ now

    Way down the street there’s a light in his place
    He opens the door, he’s got that look on his face
    And he asks you where you’ve been
    You tell him who you’ve seen
    And you talk about anything

    He’s got this dream about buying some land
    He’s gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
    And then he’ll settle down
    In some quiet little town
    And forget about ev’rything

    But you know he’ll always keep movin’
    You know he’s never gonna stop movin’
    ‘Cause he’s rollin’, he’s the rolling stone
    When you wake up, it’s a new mornin’
    The sun is shinin’, it’s a new mornin’
    You’re goin’, you’re goin’ home

    Right Down The Line
    – Gerry Rafferty

    You know I need your love
    You’ve got that hold over me
    Long as I’ve got your love
    You know that I’ll never leave
    When I wanted you to share my life
    I had no doubt in my mind
    And it’s been you woman
    Right down the line

    I know how much I lean on you
    Only you can see
    The changes that I’ve been through
    Have left a mark on me
    You’ve been as constant as a Northern Star
    The brightest light that shines
    It’s been you, woman
    Right down the line

    I just want to say this is my way
    Of tellin’ you everything
    I could never say before

    Yeah this is my way of tellin’ you
    That every day I’m lovin’ you so much more
    ‘Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
    Put somethin’ better inside of me
    You brought me into the light
    Threw away all those crazy dreams
    I put them all behind
    And it was you, woman
    Right down the line

    I just want to say this is my way
    Of tellin’ you everything
    I could never say before

    Yeah this is my way of tellin’ you
    That every day I’m lovin’ you so much more
    If I should doubt myself
    If I’m losing ground
    I won’t turn to someone else
    They’d only let me down
    When I wanted you to share my life
    I had no doubt in my mind
    And it’s been you, woman
    Right down the line

    Because yesterday I watched an episode of American Gods that was suddenly elevated from its mediocricy and gained an almost absurd intensity by Leonard Cohen’s “You Want It Darker”being played. It’s an incredible song about death and despair (or possibly acceptance and peace).

    If you are the dealer, I’m out of the game
    If you are the healer, it means im broken and lame
    If thine is the glory, then mine must be the shame
    You want it darker
    We kill the flame

    Magnified, sanctified
    Be the holy name
    Vilified, crucified
    In the human frame
    A million candles burning
    For the help that never came
    You want it darker
    Hineni, hineni
    I’m ready, my Lord

    There’s a lover in the story
    But the story’s still the same
    There’s a lullaby for suffering
    And a paradox to blame
    But it’s written in the scriptures
    And it’s not some idol claim
    You want it darker
    We kill the flame

    They’re lining up the prisoners
    And the guards are taking aim
    I struggled with some demons
    They were middle class and tame
    I didn’t know I had permission
    To murder and to maim
    You want it darker
    Hineni, hineni
    I’m ready, my Lord

    Magnified, sanctified
    Be the holy name
    Vilified, crucified
    In the human frame
    A million candles burning
    For the love that never came
    You want it darker
    We kill the flame

    If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
    If you are the healer, I’m broken and lame
    If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame
    You want it darker
    Hineni, hineni
    Hineni, hineni
    I’m ready, my Lord

    Normally I would reply to DavidM’s Buffy Quote with a Firefly Quote but it is a lost cause because there are many more seasons of Buffy than Firefly. AND I heard a song yesterday that I had not heard in years and wanted to share those lyrics with you

    Show me how to lie, you’re getting better all the time
    And turning all against the one is an art that’s hard to teach
    Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd
    And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet

    Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance
    And no one even knew it was really only you
    And now you steal away
    Take him out today
    Nice work you did
    You’re gonna go far, kid

    With a thousand lies and a good disguise
    Hit ’em right between the eyes
    Hit ’em right between the eyes
    When you walk away, nothing more to say
    See the lightning in your eyes
    See ’em running for their lives

    I originally thought it was just a coming of age song but it is much more.

    Don’t let your feelings fade
    ‘Cause you will have me and sooner than you know it
    If you could only wait

    Oh I don’t know
    That’s the way that I feel (way that I feel)
    I’m so afraid of a one night deal, ’cause sometimes
    I wonder if I take you home, will you still make me love baby
    Because I need you tonight
    I wonder if i take you home will you still make me love baby
    (Home home, home home)
    Because I need you tonight
    I wonder if I take you home will you still make me love baby

    It was the 1970s and superhero cartoons and series were extremely rare. We took what we could get and were happy to receive it.

    And Aquaman had a series in the 1960s, too.

    Belted by gamma rays
    Turned into the Hulk
    Ain’t he unglamo-rays!
    Wreckin’ the town
    With the power of a bull
    Ain’t no monster clown
    Who is as lovable
    As ever-lovin’ Hulk! HULK! HULK!

    Tony Stark makes you feel
    He’s a cool exec with a heart of steel.
    As Iron Man, all jets ablaze,
    He’s fighting and smiting with repulsor rays!
    Amazing armor! That’s Iron Man!
    A blazing power! That’s Iron Man!

    Look at what’s happened to me,
    I can’t believe it myself.
    Suddenly I’m up on top of the world,
    It should’ve been somebody else.

    [Chorus:]
    Believe it or not,
    I’m walking on air.
    I never thought I could feel so free-
    Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
    Who could it be?
    Believe it or not it’s just me.

    Just like a light of a new day,
    It hit me from out of the blue.
    Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
    Making all of my wishes come true.

    Believe it or not,
    I’m walking on air.
    I never thought I could feel so free-
    Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
    Who could it be?
    Believe it or not it’s just me.

    Well, I’m not the kind to kiss and tell,
    But I’ve been seen with Farrah.
    I’ve never been with anything less than a nine, so fine.
    I’ve been on fire with Sally Field,
    Gone fast with a girl named Bo,
    But somehow they just don’t end up as mine.

    It’s a death defyin’ life I lead,
    I take my chances.
    I die for a livin’ in the movies and TV.
    But the hardest thing I ever do
    Is watch my leadin’ ladies
    Kiss some other guy while I’m bandagin’ my knee.

    I might fall from a tall building,
    I might roll a brand new car.
    ‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.

    I’ve never spent much time in school
    But I taught ladies plenty.
    It’s true I I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey.

    I’ve gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
    Blown up for Raquel Welch.
    But when I wind up in the hay it’s only hay, Hey Hey.
    I might jump an open drawbridge,
    Or Tarzan from a vine.
    Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.

    It is the 31st century, Ulysses killed the giant Cyclops when he rescued the children and his son Telemachus. But the ancient gods of Olympus are angry and threaten a terrible revenge:

    Zeus: Mortals, you defy the gods? I sentence you to travel among unknown stars. Until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.

    Sherka: Ulysses, the way back to earth has been wiped from my memory.

    Telemachus: Father, oh, father!

    Ulysses: You are alive my son.

    Ulysses, Ulysses,
    soaring through all the galaxies,
    in search of Earth,
    flying into the night.

    Ulysses, Ulysses,
    fighting evil and tyranny,
    with all his power,
    and with all of his might.

    Ulysses, no one else can do the things you do.
    Ulysses, like a bolt of thunder from the blue.
    Ulysses, always fighting all the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all.

    It’s me Nono small robot you know, friend of Ulysses.

    Roy Batty: I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

    I always though Roy Batty was bloody lucky to time his speech so perfectly with his death. Imagine if he’d got it a little off?

    “All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. Time to… die? (Give it a few seconds.) It’s coming, I can feel it. Now. ‘Time to die.’ Wait… now. ‘Time to die!’ Well, this is embarrassing. Sorry.”

    Well, you know, you can always expand your death monologue. “Time to die… um… Perchance to dream. Ah, there’s the rub, for in that sleep of death what dreams may come?” and so on. I mean, there’s no end to the talking you can do after the mortal stroke has been struck. Look at fucking Cyrano going on for five minutes after being killed.

    It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which The Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak — ‘child hero’ was the phrase generally used — had overheard some compromising remark and denounced its parents to the Thought Police.

    When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiousity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.

    If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.

    Nice, let’s have the other one, too:

    “But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin.’

    ‘In fact,’ said Mustapha Mond, ‘you’re claiming the right to be unhappy.’

    ‘All right then,’ said the Savage defiantly, ‘I’m claiming the right to be unhappy.’

    ‘Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat; the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind.’ There was a long silence.

    ‘I claim them all,’ said the Savage at last.

    Mustapha Mond shrugged his shoulders. ‘You’re welcome,” he said.”

    Can you count, suckers? I say the future is ours… if you can count! Now, look what we have here before us. You got the Saracens sitting next to the Jones Street Boys. We’ve got the Moonrunners right by the Van Cortlandt Rangers. Nobody is wasting nobody. That… is a miracle. And miracles is the way things ought to be. You’re standing right now with nine delegates from 100 gangs. And there’s over a hundred more. That’s 20,000 hardcore members. Forty-thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty-thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: 60,000 soldiers! Now, there ain’t but 20,000 police in the whole town. Can you dig it? Can you dig it? Can you dig it?! Now, here’s the sum total: One gang could run this city! One gang. Nothing would move without us allowing it to happen. We could tax the crime syndicates, the police because WE got the streets, suckers! Can you dig it? The problem in the past has been the man turning us against one another. We have been unable to see the truth because we’ve been fighting for ten square feet of ground, our turf, our little piece of turf. That’s crap, brothers! The turf is ours by right because it’s our turn. All we have to do is keep up the general truce. We take over one borough at a time. Secure our territory… secure our turf… because it’s all our turf!

    Well, I’m on my way back home

    —GEARY: “Yea, well let’s cut out the bullsh*t. I don’t want to spend any more time here than I have to. You can have the license, the price is $250,000. Plus a monthly payment of 5% of the gross- -of all four hotels. Mister- -Corleone.”
    **MICHAEL: “Now the price of the license is less than $20,000, am I right?”
    —GEARY: “That’s right.”
    **MICHAEL: “Now why would I ever consider paying more than that?”
    —GEARY: “Because I intend to squeeze you. I don’t like your kind of people. I don’t like to see you come out to this clean country in your oily hair- -dressed up in those silk suits- -and try to pass yourselves off as decent Americans. I’ll do business with you, but the fact is, I despise your masquerade- -the dishonest way you pose yourself. Yourself, and your whole f*cking family.”
    **MICHAEL: “Senator, we’re both part of the same hypocrisy. But never think it applies to my family.”
    —GEARY: “All rite, all rite. Some people have to play little games. You play yours. Let’s just say that you’ll pay me because it is in your interest to pay me. But I want your answer and the money by noon tomorrow. And one more thing: don’t you contact me again- -ever. From now on you deal with Turnbull.”
    **MICHAEL: “Uh, Senator, you can have my answer now if you like. My offer is this- -nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.”
    —GEARY: “Good afternoon, gentlemen.” (laughing)
