That's a good one. The older I get, the more I see myself raging in a wheelchair some day.Quote:

the latin is the motto on a portrait painting that is alleged to be of Christopher Marlowe
(b. 1564- d. 1593)
The lines also bear resemblance to Shakespeares' Sonnet 73:
`Consum’d with that which it was nourish’d by'
and
"A burning torch that’s turned upside down;
The word, Qui me alit, me extinguit
[Who feeds me extinguishes me]"
(Pericles, II.ii.33).
* The latin is also supposedly the tattoo that Angelina Jolie has on her belly.

"I wanna live. I wanna love. But It's a long hard road out of Hell." -- Marilyn Manson.
"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the Freedom to make mistakes."
"What difference does it make to the Dead,Orhans,and Homeless,whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of Totalitarianism, or the Holy Name of Liberty,or Democracy"
And the one that got the Brits attention..."It is better to be Violent if there is Violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence."

"Perhaps; but is it not Tennyson who has said:
''Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have lost at all'?"

"Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd."
~ from William Congreve's The Mourning Bride (1697)
Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss!
Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies!
~ (From Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus (1589)
