i've always really liked the show Criminal Minds. but i never really listened to the quotes that Gideon or Reid say.
On tonights episode the ending quote was this...
"We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves." [Francois de La Rochefoucauld] which is incredibly true, and really struck me. So i went and looked up more quotes from that show... these are some of them, that i like...
__"When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks into you." -Nietzsche
__"The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary. Men alone are quite capable of every wickedness." -Joseph Conrad
__"Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them." -Rose Kennedy
__"When love is in excess it brings a man no honor nor worthiness." -Euripides
__"The question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or the others crazy?" -Einstein
__"Unfortunately, a super abundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares." -Sir Peter Ustinov
__"Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table." -W. H. Auden
__"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves." -Confucius
__"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal." -Albert Pine
__"In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present." -Sir Francis Bacon
__"It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us." -Norman Maclean
__"Better to be violent if there's violence in our hearts than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence."- Gandhi
__"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary. The evil it does is permanent." -Gandhi
