"War is when old men decide about the death of young men"
I don't know who said it or where it comes from but it is certainly true ...

Something like "Don't crybecause it's over, smile because it happened." I'm sorry but I.simply can't stand these. Maybe it's because I think i'm so much more intelligent than most others, and hope to envolve (evolve?) some kind of ultimate quote, which sums up all my views. Or at least the recognitional (needlessly superfluous and incorrect) I hope to acquire some day. This whole answer would end in a huge monologue of me talking bout how + Show Spoiler + my life turned upside down, an I'd like to take a minute just sit right there.... All that I can say right now is one of my favourite quotes though (superfluous), which proves to be true in an ironical(and one last for good luck...) way: I know that I know nothing. In a double irony of poetic justice I mixed up "Superfluous and Superlative" originally ![]() Wow first off I want to blame it on my mobile phone's autocorrect. If you buy it, stop reading here pls. Secondly you made me feel like the biggest retard on planet earth somehow, but at the same time helped me to prove what I stated with my quote. Err ... I guess I need to thank you now obi wan. Well... Thank you. | ||
