Almost all of history is forgotten. What we remember -- the record of the world is what we decide is important. |

Certainly, R.E.M. grew out of the Wuxtry record store in Athens, where Peter Buck was working and Michael Stipe came in to visit. And even their later manager, Bertis Downs, they all met and congregated at that record store. So I'm sure we wouldn't see those without the record store. |

Al Gore wanted to tell people what they could listen to and what they couldn't, what they could record. It was basically coming down to the idea that he wouldn't let anybody record any music that he didn't think you should be doing. There was going to be an organization that would tell you what you could and couldn't record. |

France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster. |

'London' is a gallery of sensation of impressions. It is a history of London in a thematic rather than a chronological sense with chapters of the history of smells, the history of silence, and the history of light. I have described the book as a labyrinth, and in that sense in complements my description of London itself. |

We will see a breakdown of the family and family values if we decide to approve same-sex marriage, and if we decide to establish homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle with all the benefits that go with equating it with the heterosexual lifestyle. |

Remember that when you're young and your career feels like the most important thing, the most important thing is love and the relationships you have with people - boyfriend, friends and family. It's good to remember that. |

I'd forgotten what it was like to play music and have it be fun so I decided to stop. I wasn't even sure if I was going to make a new record, I was just kinda quitting. |

English poetry begins whenever we decide to say the modern English language begins, and it extends as far as we decide to say that the English language extends. |

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. |

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. |

“There are only three requirements for success. First, decide exactly what it is you want in life. Second, determine the price that you are going to have to pay to get the things you want. And third, and this is most important, resolve to pay that price.”

What are the most important parts of human knowledge from a perspective of all of human history? Probably fire, maybe symbols?

its really random and i didnt realize the frequency at which it was happening. just had a flash back to this marshy path by a river and a field that i remember in my dreams as a kid. it is very similar to an area near where my mom lived altho it wasnt it exactly. i remember several pretty much pointless dreams that took place in my elementary school at the other end of this path, both in the physical and dream world.

The history of marriage and the history of sex then suggest to me that individuals value sex, but society actually values labor.

Ancient Aliens is fucking fantastic. Even if you dont believe everything you hear (which you shouldnt its the history channel) it still does a great job of giving you independent research topics i.e. the world grid of energy http://www.history.com/shows/ancient-aliens/videos/ancient-aliens-aliens-and-the-secret-code?m=5189717d404fa&s=All&f=1&free=false

I keep having weird dreams and thinking I'll remember them but then when I get out of bed I can't remember. I used to try to say them out loud because I think it helps you commit it to memory but I never feel like doing it and for some reason think I'll remember them anyway.

with pi being such a special and unique number to mathematics and mathematics being so important to nature and our universe, i have a theory that the more numbers of Pi you know, the more you understand the world around us.

I had a dream that I was playing basketball with someone I haven't seen since 5th grade and he smashed a can of rootbeer on the ground and that all seemed normal, but then the simulation that is our universe gets hacked and all the children in the world decide their only purpose is to kill all the adults. Some of the kids are very young and very dumb and zombie like. I somehow meet up with my friend who appears to know a lot about the hack and a lot of experience with the kids. He's telling me all the most effective ways to murder large numbers of children of various age groups. Then as we're kind of quickly walking away from some toddlers he jumps in a golf cart and seems to accidentally run me over as he drives it toward the toddlers and then I woke up.

The Berenstein Bears: We Are Living in Our Own Parallel Universe
When I was growing up, all through elementary school we would watch movies and read books about the Berenstein Bears. I still even remember the theme song for the TV show, mostly, which wasn't a song so much as a guy in a gruff bear voice speaking in rhyming couplets. If you don't know who the Berenstein Bears are, they were nuclear family of anthropomorphic bears who lived in a tree out in Bear Country and had family-based situational comedy and taught life lessons. And Ma Bear always wore a blue shower cap.
These bears appeared in a series of children books by the married Stan and Jan Berenstein, that later became a TV s...
