Twisting the Words

[lark sparrow]

Do you have a favorite quote or saying that can be applied to BDSM or D/s? I'll start it off with a pessimistic quote turned positive through BDSM.

No good deed goes unpunished. -unknown (to me)

Two others...

Don't make any sudden movements. These are dangerous amusements. - Elvis Costello

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. -Kahlil Gibran

 

[psiberzerker]

Not bad, I like the Elvis quote, but his songs are cheating. Ever heard "Wave a white flag" off the B side of "My Aim Is True?"

While we're abusing music... "And when we came together, all our flesh was like a veil that I had to draw aside to see the serpent eat it's tail" Loenard Cohen, Last Year's Man

I don't know what I'm bitching about, Lennie's as bad as Elvis. That song alone makes me want to find someone to beat on.

My favourite is for anyone I'm playing with, "I have not yet begun to fight" - Churchill, I think. I think he's also the one who pulled out that old saw about "Nothing to fear but fear it'self", but he doesn't get credit for that one. Some Grecan thought that up, but I can't remember his name.
Ah, fun wth context.

A bird in the hand is worth two birds in the bush...2 bushes in My hand are worth 1 bird in the bush?

Ok ok ok I tried...slipping out of the door unnoticed.

<giggles> Ah, the eternal mystery.

A handy bush beats bushy hands, and one hand in the bush is not unheard of for a lucky bird, however two is a bit rarer... still, one is the lonliest number when birds of a feather flock together, unless of course, the bush is pruned, then two will nicely do, and three is a crowd... what is the sound of one hand clapping (you'll have to put that bird down to find out)... if a tree falls in the forrest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound.. (the bushes aren't telling, and the birds flew away).




I love this quote, psiberzerker!

"And when we came together, all our flesh was like a veil that I had to draw aside to see the serpent eat it's tail" Loenard Cohen

Okay, scrapping the bottom of the barrell here.

The Godfather - "I'll make you an offer you can't refuse".

James Bond - "never say never"

A parents words - "You have to take the bitter with the sweet."

Here's a nice one. "The truest eloquence is that which holds us too mute for applause" Sir Thomas Lytton.

Here's one I like.........

"Listen, when I slap you you'll take it and like it."~Humphrey Bogart

 

[bunny bondage]

anyone ever heard of the card game "lunchmoney"? well, it's basically a fighting game and it has all kinds of attack cards. anyway, the flavor text on the cards is the best!


"LOOK at me when i'm HITTING you!"

and

"call me DADDY."

or

"nowhere to run to BABY. nowhere to HIDE."

and

"you have SINNED. you must be PUNISHED."

things like that! anyway, that's my little addition.

 

[Ebonyfire]

It kind of takes the sting out of the words "bitch slapping".

 

[ammre]

"I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you"


Yeah.. it's so cliche... i know... but this song really makes me want my hair pulled and my ass smacked.

 

[psiberzerker]

I don't think that was taken out of context, though. Who the hell said that?

Let's see, bird, hand, bush, lots more unconquered territory there.
The early bird get's the worm, I'm just going to leave that one alone. For those of you who can't afford coors(Or stand it) I guess a Busch in hand is better than two on the shelf. If you've got your hand in a bird, you're kinkier than I. If you've got a bird in your bush, oh, well, never mind. If you've got your hand on your bird, or in your bush, I'm comming over. I don't think I heard lark sparrow (Oh damn, I just realized, fuck) said anything about that.

I think I'll leave you with this one, "Can you give me a hand here?" -George Bush.

"You have insulted me, choose your weapon" -Some weirdo in IHOP
"Puns at five paces" -Me.

Was the bard into toilet play?

"To pee, or not to pee, that is the question."

Of course, in King Lear, poor Gloucester gets tied up by some truly evil women who do truly evil things with him, and ge goes around blindfolded for the rest of the play because of it... a little sensory deprivation, bondage, and torture!

As for the scottish play... well, the wife was a frustrated Dominatrix if ever I saw one!

ooh nice, I like that one alot too. I bet Bogart movies are ripe with lines like that.

Never played it but...

This could be incorporated into one fun D/s game.

Sonnets of William Shakespeare
Sonnet 57

LVII.
Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save, where you are how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

Sonnets of William Shakespeare
Sonnet 58

LVIII.
That god forbid that made me first your slave,
I should in thought control your times of pleasure,
Or at your hand the account of hours to crave,
Being your vassal, bound to stay your leisure!
O, let me suffer, being at your beck,
The imprison'd absence of your liberty;
And patience, tame to sufferance, bide each cheque,
Without accusing you of injury.
Be where you list, your charter is so strong
That you yourself may privilege your time
To what you will; to you it doth belong
Yourself to pardon of self-doing crime.
I am to wait, though waiting so be hell;
Not blame your pleasure, be it ill or well.


Sonnets of William Shakespeare
Sonnet 130

CXXX.
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

"Pain is such a rush" - some actor in Bachelor Party, not named Tom Hanks

Isn't it though?

Here's a nicely odd quote from America's most loved political action hero, Arnold Schwarzenegger.


Quote 5
the only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's why i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore for me, pain is pleasure. and so when i experience pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain at a particular moment for a particular reason. i don't like needles stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that i necessary to be a champion.


"There is no coming to consciousness without pain."
- Carl Jung

"The gem cannot be polished without friction."
— Chinese proverb

"The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."
- Richard Milhous Nixon

 

[bunny bondage]

larksparrow, great find on the sonnets! however (pulls up her lecutre podium) the last one uses the term "mistress" in the traditional way, not the way it is now used. "mistress" was, at one time, just the way to adress a proper lady. and, upon reading the sonnet, does it not seem to be a bit satyrical of love poems? this sonnet is clearly praising someone of neither great beauty or virtue. (although i once suggested to my upper-division lit class that the girl which shakespeare wrote about was, in fact, dead. this sparked a heated debate which is long and completly off topic, so i'll not get into it here)

anyway, i guess i just wanted to spark a little "thinking into the poem" here. it's all that english prof cum, it's backed up my system and is coming out my mouth.

Yes, but we are "twisting the words" here, remember?
