cleaning up (quotes)


Addendum:
Originally, this entry was about "cleaning up" my profile and putting up random quotes here. It seems that Google thought these were quotes about actually cleaning up, though. So I've added a few quotes about cleaning up :)

"My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance."

My (facebook) profile's getting cluttered, so while I narrow down my "favorite" quotes, here's what I have now (for posterity's sake):

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.

You just gotta make sure, whatever you do, that you're using the money to chase the art, not the art to chase the money.

Today is tomorrow's yesterday, so if you’re putting it off till tomorrow, then why not do it today? For then you will have done your deed yesterday and you will have today free.
-- Edward Coley, Photographer 1980

Q. I tried spraying my pants with Febreze... but the smell always comes back. What should I do?
A. ... I read that Febreze is rumored to be harmful to pets. The rumor may be unfounded, but if your pants are toxic to your pet, what are they doing to your ass?

Los Goles se hacen, no se merecen.
(Goals are made, they are not deserved.)
-- Football Axiom

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather, the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

"Cuando deseas algo con todo el corazón, todo el Universo conspira para que realices tu deseo."
-- Paulo Coelho

"With Great Power comes Great Responsibility"
-- Spiderman's Uncle (Uncle Ben)

"To play [music] without passion is inexcusable!"
-- Beethoven

Kyle: Aren't weekends just the best?
Kenny: When you're unemployed, weekends are meaningless.
Kyle: Right, right...

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
