Moonstalker Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Depending on my mood: From Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule, "People are stupid" Bill Watterson - "Sometimes I think that the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." Will Moss - "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderbear Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. - A. A. Milne Forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past. - Aba Gayle When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people. - Abraham Joshua Heschel This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it. - Abraham Lincoln Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows, we guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark. - Agnes de Mille Sometimes the truth hurts, but the only thing it hurts are illusions. - Alan Cohen I cannot forgive contemporary political society: it is a mechanism for driving men to despair. - Albert Camus We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die. - Albert Camus I cannot love all humanity except with a vast and somewhat abstract love. But I love a few men, living or dead, with such force and admiration that I am always eager to preserve in others what will someday perhaps make them resemble those I love. - Albert Camus Totalitarian tyranny is not based on the virtues of the totalitarians. It is based on the mistakes of the liberals. - Albert Camus Freedom is not made up principally of privileges; it is made up especially of duties. - Albert Camus Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children. - Albert Camus We shall be sure that freedom is not a gift received from a State or a leader, but a possession to be won every day by the effort of each and the union of all. - Albert Camus When one knows of what man is capable, for better and for worse, one also knows that it is not the human being himself who must be protected but the possibilities he has within him--in other words, his freedom. - Albert Camus If, after all, men cannot always make history have a meaning, they can always act so that their own lives have one. - Albert Camus It is better to suffer certain injustices than to commit them, even to win wars. - Albert Camus I believe only in differences and not in uniformity. First of all, because differences are the roots without which the tree of liberty, the sap of creation and of civilization, dries up. - Albert Camus The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle. - Albert Einstein The important thing is not to stop questioning. - Albert Einstein Enough for now ...

grimace Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 "He lied and never knew that he lied, and when it was pointed out to him said that lies were beautiful. He was an idealist." - Somerset Maugham And SOMEHOW, no one's mentioned the greatest of them all: "My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them." - Winston Churchill "Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me." - Winston Churchill And finally the piece d’etat: A lady who shall remain nameless approached Winston and said "Sir, you are drunk." Winston then replied with the best line ever: "Madam, I may be drunk, but you are ugly. And in the morning, I will be sober, but you will still be ugly."
