"Its not enough to win...others must fail" ...

Every time I read something or hear someone say anything interesting, I have to write it down. I have this little book I carry around with me, just so I can write things down. The other day, I was kinda bored and just browsing through it and I realised I couldnt read some of the stuff I wrote, coz sometimes while Im asleep, and I think of something, I just wake up and scribble it down, so im gonna write them here..yes I know Im crazy, but its sort of like a habit I cant stop now.

Anyway here are some of my fav stuff Ive read or heard people say, most of them are sort of ironic or have a dry sarcastic humour to it, which is why I like them.

"Its not enough to win..others must fail" - some article from The London Paper - I think this is going to be my new moto in life ..lol

"Marriage Is the first step towards divorce" -

"In GOD I TRUST, EVERYONE else, polygraph, DNA sample, two-forms of I.D. and three references.."

"If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut." -- by Albert Einstein


"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity - Martin Luther King Jr. "

"Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams? - OASIS

"I attempted to save the world, and lost myself."

"The Greatest sophistication is simplicity and to understand that is Sophistication, "

"IF LOVE IS THE ANSWER,COULD YOU REPHRASE THE QUESTION ?” - some advert on the tube

""I hustle words and pimp sentences" -

"If life gives you lemons, Throw them at the person who gave them to you and take the oranges you wanted in the first place"

"I shall die, but that is all I will do for death" - I find this really funny lol


"I was flabber gasted, never has my flabber been so gasted"


"Marriage is not a word, its a sentence "


"If you slit my throat, with my one last gasping breath, I'll apologise for spilling blood on your shirt" -


"Most people think that life sucks and then you die. Not me, I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remanted, you owe £10 million in medical bills, but you work hard for 35 years and you pay it back and then one day you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralysed, you have to limp around the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool, but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to talk and then one day you step off the curb and BANG!, you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe..."


okay I better stop now, I think I wrote a essay there..but ohh well!

That last bit is just depressing.What an awful outlook to life. I think my fav has got to be "I tried to save the world and I lost myself".

Firefly said...

LoL...I love the last quote. It's similar to how I see life.

Lovely blog Iman.

I have a similar habit. It seems as though I always carry around a journal just to jott down random things. Best phrase I've come across---

Procrastination is like masturbation; it feels good till you find out you're only f*cking yourself :D

Wilkommen Iman,

"I was flabber gasted, never has my flabber been so gasted"

I'm gonna use that one from now, it sounds so much better than "I was like Oh, My, gawd"

I know I need to widen my vocab...

Iman said...

I know the last bit is depressing but its a bit funny in an odd way, and ohh thanks Firefly...I see your a bit of a pessimist, not good darling, you should become an 'optimistic pessimist' it'd make ur life a bit more fun lol

I havnt heard that one b4 Nonchalante, but it is kinda true in a way...

Dahab, I love that one too, I forgot who said it, but it was some old English guy, I think ppl would look at you in a wired way if u say that..well it happened to me

Sam said...

There's truth to the 'In God We Trust' one...especially the US government. They should rephrase the line on their currency to..."In God We Trust; All Others We Monitor"

DALAHOW said...

Great stuff Iman..

Most quotes you posted here are true to their meaning but you may add the one from sam.

The cow-boys should re-phrase the quote on their currencies as "In God We Trust; All Others We Monitor"

This ain't true tho..I think "Marriage Is the first step towards divorce" -was quoted by a group of gays/lesbos who ain't interested in families and so on..

As Muslims, we only take to be "true" anything we find in ISLAM as the truth..else, & if we are to use other's quotes, we will surely bypass the limits bestowed on us by Allah.

I dont get what you mean by the last part as in muslims are not m,eant to use quotes, is that what your saying?
