I believe that everything that you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that's bad, I'm going to suffer from it. But in my mind, I believe what I'm doing is right. So I feel like I'm going to heaven.-Tupac Shakur
The "kingdom of Heaven" is a condition of the heart --not something that comes "upon the earth" or "after death."- Friedrich Nietzsche
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth : for the powers of heaven shall be shaken” (Luke

If we're going to do HH quotes, then have this one from memory:
Space, it says, is big. Really big. I mean, you may think it's a long walk down the streets to the chemist, but that's just peanuts compared to space, listen... And so it goes on.
After a while the style settles down a bit and starts telling you things you actually need to know, like the fact that the fabulously beautiful planet Bethselamine is now so worried about the errosion caused by thousands of visiting tourists that the difference between the ammount you eat and the ammount you excrete is surgically removed before you leave. This is why is vitally important to get a receipt when you go to the lavatory there.

I actually put the first part of that as a header to an essay on geological time I wrote at uni. Seemed to go down well :D

These all come from Mark Latham, the current Australian Opposition leader, and if my vote makes any difference, the next Australian PM. All are during his time as a pollie, mind you, not stuff that's been dredged up from his past.
"Howard is an arse-licker. He went over there, kissed some bums, and got patted on the head."
- description of Prime Minister John Howard's trip to the United States.
"There they are, a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of politics."
- on Coalition support for the war in Iraq.
"Bush himself is the most incompetent and dangerous president in living memory."
- on US President George W Bush.
"(John Howard) has forgotten how to be a good Australian, not some yes-man to a flaky and dangerous American president."
- same again.
"F**king idiot."
- Description of satirist from The Chaser program during the last federal election.
They're as bad as Janet Albrechtsen, a skanky-ho who will die in a ditch to defend the Liberal Party.
- Description of a columnist for "The Australian" newspaper.
This guy's a bloody legend. :D Tells it like it is.
-
And what party is this guy from? I like him already.
-
He's the leader of the Labour party - the largest single poilitical party in Australia (I think anyway - the government is made up of a coalition, so it stands to reason, but I don't have the figures).
-
Australian polotics is alive and healthy, that's why I'd love to live there :)
-
Now why can't our Labour party be like that?

"I hate Celine Dion. She's always smacking herself in the chest. Comes out on stage and just bangs away at her pert little French-Canadian tits. Nobody else does that. I ain't got boobs, a surprise, I know, but that's gotta hurt, right ladies? I mean DAMN that's gotta hurt. And she the only one who does it. You'll never see the gangsta types runnin' out on stage punchin' themselves in the crotch. Givin' the old monkey-fist to the nuts: KEEP IT REAL! *smack*!" ---- A guy on Comedy Store - The Best Of.

Most Canadians hate her too.. It's why we sent her to Vegas.....
