Wow there's probably a million quotes I like.. but I can't think of them all so I'm just going to use a couple Bruce Lee quotes...because he is my hero and was one of the coolest guys ever to incarnate on Earth.
Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier; it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.
If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.
Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.
Eliminate "not clear" thinking and function from your root.
Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite - there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is living void, because all forms come out of it and whoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all being.
Nothingness cannot be defined; the softest thing cannot be snapped.
To see a thing uncolored by one's own personal preferences and desires is to see it in its own pristine simplicity
Wisdom does not consist of trying to wrest the good from the evil but in learning to "ride" them as a cork adapts itself to the crests and troughs of the waves.
An assertion is Zen only when it is itself an act and does not refer to anything that is asserted in it.
Do not run away; let go. Do not seek, for it will come when least expected.
All vague notions must fall before a pupil can call himself a master.
After all, all knowledge simply means self-knowledge.
And I like this thread so I think I will sticky it for a few days.

that was the end result of him totally ODing on acid and accidentally drinking GHB out of a gatorade bottle.
this kind of shit used to happen to me and my friends all the time, but we always somehow lucked our way out of it. I guess it all comes with youth and inexperience.

My signature sez it all... "Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go..." T.S. Eliot
well...I guess *technically* it's not my absolute favorite quote, but I somehow doubt anyone would understand what my true favorite quote is all about, seeing as it's something that sorta came to me during my first shroom trip and kinda has some hidden meanings for me (which is: "all there is is shroom" in case you were wondering)
