Favourite quotes

Strength through Peace - Peace Protecting Genius We have weapons of mass destruction we have to address here at home. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Unemployment is a weapon of mass destruction. - Dennis Kucinich Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. - Abraham Lincoln Better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt Don't stop dreaming, baby, cause the future is in your hands. No, baby hold on tight and be the best you can..." - From "Hungry Land" by Lex Lang In my opinion performing and entertaining people is what makes the world go around. So, to anyone who gets pleasure out of entertaining or making people laugh or sharing themselves through music or art, I say if you are happy doing it then stick with it. Go after whatever dreams you have. Imagine yourself successful, healthy and alive. Then live it. - Lex Lang im strange to u ur strange to me - mc chris ''...there's nothing to do except take naps and wait patiently for death." - "White Kids Love Hip-Hop" by mc chris
