My Favourite quotes

I am such a lazy bum that i dont like reading thick books; even though I have deep interest in different philosophies. But,I do like reading different philosophers and their work in wikipedia.
Quotes always interests me, coz they are short and I can ponder over them lazily for hours. I am listing some of my favourite quotes. I hope you will ponder a bit too.

1) There's more to the truth than just the facts. ~Author Unknown.

2) The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer. ~Edward
Murrow.

3) A gun gives you the body, not the bird. ~Henry David Thoreau

4) By daily dying I have come to be. ~Theodore Roethke

5) You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. ~Navajo Proverb

6) When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. ~Friedrich Nietzche

7) The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound
truth may well be another profound truth. ~Niels Bohr

8) It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers. ~James Thurber

9) I am not a marxist ~ Karl Marx. (My favourite quote)

ECSTACY IN DECAY

Well, I have titled this writing "Ecstacy in Decay" . Actually its one of the songs of "Cannibal Corpse" . Some guys might think the reason for the name is that i get ecstacy in decay but its the other way round; my ecastacy is in continuous decay :)) .
I still remember when i was a kid I was a happy happy kid, but as I started growing up my head started getting full of hatred. When I started observing people and their motives I came to know that almost all of them are so mean and stupid that finding a good human being is a kind of privilege.
Let me define a bad human being:
1) Someone who doesnt do anything in case an accident happens on road. He just stands and stares and collect some story to narrate to his friend.
2) Someone who will blow Rs. 5000/- in a night club in one night and wont give Rs. 10/ to a charity for homeless children.
3) Someone who is the happiest person in this world in case a boy takes birth in his home and saddest in case of a girl.
4) Someone who takes dowry.
5) Someone who gives the utmost importance to the outer apperaence. Some guys can even lose their self respect in case they see a beautiful lady, even if she is the most useless and dumbest creature on planet earth. They forget their friends; even their moms and dads.
6) Someone who throws trash in public places and would say to his NRI friend that "India is fucking dirty man"
7) Someone who is a religious fanatic.
8) Someone who do not respect women.
9) Someone who is unkind to animals.
10) Someone who is overly materialistic and whose only purpose in life is money.

I am sure there are many other things that I hate but right now these are the only things that are coming to my head i.e. "grotesquehead". I dont know how good a human being I am. Infact, the term "good human being" itself is subjective; but for me, I am my own god so I believe mostly in my viewpoints and I try to act as I believe.
