Either fight or surf

“You either fight or surf!” is, of course, the famous choice posed by Col. Kilgore in Apocalypse Now. In the madness of battle, Kilgore gives his soldiers a blank choice between two missions—take it to the waves or take it to the enemy.

Screenwriter John Milius later revealed that the scene was inspired by a comment made by former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon during the Six-Day War of 1

Quotes by Timothy Miller (?)

“So does the eager earth send up shoots through the burial mound and cover it in green. The bones of men are buried beneath every house in every street and along every country ride. The coffins are stacked one atop another all the way down to the center of the earth. Yet mourning is not the natural mould of man. The heart is buoyant as a channel marker.”
― Timothy Miller

Timothy’s Quotes

“This is the place of my song-dream, the place the music played to me," whispered the Rat, as if in a trance.
"Here, in this holy place, here if anywhere, surely we shall find Him!”

“If what Billy Pilgrim learned from the Tralfamadorians is true, that we will all live forever, no matter how dead we may sometimes seem to be, I am not overjoyed. Still--if I am going to spend eternity visiting this moment and that, I'm grateful that so many of those moments are nice.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“The man bent over his guitar,
A shearsman of sorts. The day was green.
They said, "You have a blue guitar,
You do not play things as they are."
The man replied, "Things as they are
Are changed upon the blue guitar."
And they said then, "But play, you must,
A tune beyond us, yet ourselves,
A tune upon the blue guitar
Of things exactly as they are.”
― Wallace Stevens, The Collected Poems
