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

[Petrarch of the VBB]

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

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.

They're as bad as Janet Albrechtsen, a skanky-ho who will die in a ditch to defend the Liberal Party.
