○ “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isnt.” —Mark Twain “Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive!” — Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17., Scottish author & novelist (1771-1832) ” —Wikipedia “In Greek mythology, the Titans (Greek: Τιτάν Tītán; plural: Τιτᾶνες Tītânes) were a primeval race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Heaven), that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. ” —Wikipedia “Superman stands alone. Superman did not become Superman, Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he is Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red S is the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears, the glasses the business suit, thats the costume. Thats the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? Hes weak, unsure of himself... hes a coward. Clark Kent is Supermans critique on the whole human race, sort of like Beatrix Kiddo and Mrs. Tommy Plumpton.” —Quentin Tarantino, Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) “Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum (Latin to English: I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am) is a philosophical statement used by René Descartes (1596–1650)” —Wikipedia “Psychorama, also called the precon process, is the act of communicating subliminal information through film by flashing images on the screen so quickly that they cannot be perceived by the conscious mind.” —Wikipedia “Ipse se nihil scire id unum sciat.” —The Socratic Paradox “Socrates was the mentor of Plato, Plato was the mentor of Aristotle, and Aristotle was the tutor of Alexander the Great.” —Yahoo Answers “...well expansion of terms but never thought of it as ‘what happens when the terms can no longer expand because it’s reached its limit’ if the terms can no longer expand because we’ve defined it as so because there is no ‘infinity++’ then one really has no choice to accept that 0.9999=1.” —Wordpress “Actually, St. Augustine said it first (according to Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology). He said, Si fallor, sum--If I doubt, I exist. Anyway you take the statement, it means that if something is going on that gives a definition to consciousness i.e., doubt, thoughts, mental states, then it implies the existence of that consciousness as a verb, (consciousness OF the entity of a something) (meaning that objective reality exists); but also that a container exists in which this entity of consciousness is housed. That container is the noun called consciousness. Both the verb and the noun version of the word means it exists. If it exists, where does it exist? It exists in you; therefore you am ” —Yahoo Answers “If you have a dream, don’t let anybody take it away and always believe that the impossible is possible.” —Selena Quintanilla-Pérez (1971–1995) “But it wasnt a dream. It was a place. And you and you and you...and you were there. But you couldnt have been could you? No, Aunt Em, this was a real truly live place and I remember some of it wasnt very nice, but most of it was beautiful--but just the same all I kept saying to everybody was I want to go home, and they sent me home! Doesnt anybody believe me? But anyway, Toto, were home! Home. And this is my room, and youre all here and Im not going to leave here ever, ever again. Because I love you all. And... Oh Auntie Em! Theres no place like home!” —Dorothy (Character), The Wizard of Oz (RSC version) “Nothings impossible, Charlie.” —Grandma Georgina (Character), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) ☆ youtube/watch?v=J5XxdBBbkg0 ♡
