We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. "

This post made me wonder:
Would any of the quotes posted in this thread have the same "meaning" to those who posted it if the person saying the quote was something abhorrent?
Such as the Tyler Durden quote above: What if, in the movie, it was a slobby, fat-ass stinky actor sitting in his underwear on a couch with a bag of chips and chip pieces laying scattered on his fat belly?
Does the person and context make the quote? Or are the words spoken / written what makes the quote? Or is it a case-by-case basis?
I posted a William Blake quote - a fucking nut-ball who thinks he saw angels and shit. I still like the quote, though. However, if the Fight Club quotes above were spoken by a different actor in a different way, I'd call bullshit, even though they're pretty good sayings. *shrug*
