  3. we lack it, we like it, we can’t live without it, we want it out of our clothes, we can’t let it get on the carpet, we want it in our thoughts,

  5. Substance is found in everyone. Some have more, some have less. I for instance believe myself to have alot of substance, but I regress. Many people would disagree.

I find myself retaining it and hoarding when in all reality I want to show it to the world.

  9. Sometimes I feel that I lack substance. That I’m just walking day to day to day, hoping that some new, interesting, unique idea will form– but until then, eating, sleeping, fucking, just like every other blue-blooded American. It would be nice to feel as though each new thing were as new and interesting as I found them to be in high school.

  10. substance abuse lives through the ages, like a gap in my life that was never filled.
    like closing your eyes for seven years and slowly opening them again to realize that the world has become as shit as you always thought it was.
    Time to scrape the frosting from my mind and be satisfied.
    its gonna be a while.

  14. The word originates from Latin substantia, literally meaning “standing under”. The word was used to translate the Greek philosophical term ousia.

    Substance theory, or substance attribute theory, is an ontological theory about objecthood, positing that a substance is distinct from its properties.

    Substance is a core concept of ontology and metaphysics. Indeed, philosophies may be divided into monist philosophies, and dualist or pluralist philosophies. Monistic views, often associated with immanence, hold that there is only one substance, sometimes called God or Being. Dualist and pluralist views hold that two or more types of substances do exist, and that these can be placed in an ontological hierarchy. Platonism or Aristotelianism considers that there are various substances, while stoicism and Spinoza hold that there is only one substance.

  29. It is what all things are composed of. So much of the time there is so little of this in our lives. So long as we surround ourselves with what really matters, what is real, pure, then we will never be lacking this. It seems to all boil down to one thing. It seems to be made of what we make of it. Intuitive, i know, but it make you think. It makes you wonder what is real, what matters, what changes us, affects us.

  32. mANY PEOPLE THINK THEY HAVE SUBSTANCE. They don’t. You don’t always matter. You look the same think the same and act the same. You’re one of the pack. Stand out. Be different Don’t think. Just do. Maybe then you’ll have the substance you always thought you did have. The substance reserved by those true radicals who dare to be different.

  37. A person of substance is hard to find these days, but one thing is for sure…those who qualify have not arrived there without great sacrifice and heartache of some sort. Well, that’s not altogether true. They can be taught and bred to be a person of substance, but to be a person of GREAT substance requires more.

  40. The substance of substance is an interesting topic, because there is a lot of substance to it. If substance was void of substance it could never be substantial, if it was full of substance you could never distinguish its parts well enough to make in subtantaciated substane. Substantial sunstance is the only manifestation of substance, and substance itself always contains something full, but not completely full, or it wouldbn’t be that interestng.
