That's... An amazing application of that quote. I'm going to have to use it right back at my dad next time he's yelling words I can't say here at other drivers >: )
You're not stuck in traffic, you are traffic!
Anyway, this thread is a bit interesting psychologically. I keep trying to guess who put the quote before I read their username.
And stop with your own quotes! You may think you sound deep and sentimental but just . . . stop!

Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Maybe make a MaC thread for people's own quotes?
Plus how come you're annoyed by them? Most of them seem fine to me, some we could do without, but still...?

You don't "make" quotes up. You hear them and read them and are inspired by them. Gluing your own words together and trying to present it as deep and thoughtful doesn't make you quotable
It doesn't have to be quotable, just has to be a quote. And it can be your own quote.

" I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that." -Kevin Bacon

"All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
"They're not the same at all!"
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"
MY POINT EXACTLY.”
