Nope. Grammar is over-rated. It's easier just to do basic typing, or rather not using caps at all.
BTW I mean't posts that throw an original thread off subject. Especially when some people have no clue about the things they ramble.

Chuck Palahniuk is one of my favourite authors. He writes provocative, compelling books that completely just suck you into his world. One of his books, Invisible Monsters, holds a special place in my excuse for a heart. The central character, an attention starved ex model at one point declares..."If I can't be beautiful, I want to be invisible."
And for some reason, this quote has always stuck out at me. It's such a blunt, daring decision.
Also, from his most famous book of all, Fight Club, every single thing that damn Tyler Durden says is amazing.
"It's only after you've lost everything," Tyler says, "that you're free to do anything."
Other quotes from books...
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." - Atticus Finch, To Kill A Mockingbird
"None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me. " - Rorschach, Watchmen. I am a huge Watchmen geek. Everything that Rorschach says is EPIIIIIIC.

I am actually reading this book right now and read that passage this morning but didn't it go, "Freedom to say two plus two equals five?"
Now I'll have to go look.

A few quotes from some of the great.

I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed
and Buddha and all the rest said was right.
It's just that the translations have gone wrong." - John Lennon
