Topic: Quotes we disagree with

[SVoid]

Often we love to read, hear or collect qutoes we agree with. Like:

The pursuit of balance can create imbalance because sometimes something is true.

But what about quotes we disagree with?

I was just wondering if some of you had any favourite quotes you love to hate from movies, books or popular entertainment, or history, that just make you wail and gnash your teeth.

Because, I think it's useful to be exposed to other ideas, and think about them.

Anything from Deepak Chopra.

"There is no try, there is only do." because wtf does that even mean? and there's nothing wrong with failure, you little green bastard.

Hahha. Yeah, that's actually a good point. Meaningless nonsense.

Hate that wishy-washy stuff in movies.

Johnny Slick is wrong.

Luke had it in his mind that he was going to fail.  Yoda was trying to get him not to think about that, just to focus on the task.  Yeesh.

Never put off 'till tomorrow what you can do today.

Ya well I could procrastinate tomorrow, but I think I'll just get that out of the way now.
Pretentious asshole...

Or bass ackwards was Yoda maybe!  Maybe there is no do, only try!  Because sometimes on factors beyond control do depends!  But try, within our control that is, always!

Well, it's shitty advice. Especially when coming from real people.

You ever wonder if Yoda was in fact totally senile and his speech impediment was just a symptom of a dementia, in which case none of his wisdom should be trusted ?

I just think he's a grumpy old man who thinks he knows everything about everything because he's so old.

There are too many to choose from, but "Everything happens for a reason" is the first to come to mind. I absolutely HATE it when people say that. Especially after something truly horrible happens. What a moronic, dickish thing to say.

Are you trying to say that we live in a world ruled by chaos?!

"What goes around, comes around"  I hate that one as much as "everything happens for a reason"
