I am kind of partial to MY signature line, but Knowone is the only Scubaboard poster who knows what it means.
 
Diver Doug,

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
 
This is a dumbed-down, more easily-digested version of a series of quotes from Aleister Crowley. For those interested, the exact quotes are:

A red rose absorbs all colours but red; red is therefore the one color it is not.

This law, reason, time, space, all Limitiation blinds us to Truth

All that we know of man, nature, God, is just that which they are not. It is that which they throw off as repugnant.


In context, Crowley was basically saying that humans, in their normal waking state of conciousness, are very much not their true selves and that the true self is literally part of something infinitely powerful; something beyond space, time, logic/reason (e.g. part of God, Allah, Jesus, Tao, Buddah mind; whatever you want to call "IT"). People are, ultimately, something radically different and more impressive than most of us will ever know since the true human essence/spirit/soul is cloaked by the ego. My quote sort of alludes to the same point, albeit in a much shallower way that is more practical for use in everyday life.

Thats deep :D

Or is that just woolly thinking? :)
 
Maybe not a Scubaboard Signature, but your disclaimers made me think of it..

"I always brush my teeth before I dive cuz I want the sharks to smell the fresh mint breath when I laugh at their faces" I don't remember who has it but it's something I really liked/:D

It's about pseudoscience, or bad science. It means it cannot be proven or even falsified.
 
A few I particularly like for various reasons:

kjunheart's signature:

Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love deeply, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.
