Here are some of the quotes I have collected during my time as an internet-head. I would like to share:
"There's this kid at my school... He can't have blood transfusions, so they gave him apple juice instead. In the fall, he turned different colours, fell out of a tree, and died." -- Gavin, Kids in the Hall.
"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odius, makes you so sick at heart that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machines will be prevented from working at all..." -- Mario Savio, 1964.
"You should never have your best trousers on when you turn out to fight for freedom and truth." -- Henrik Ibsen.
"But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco.
"What's the point of wearing your favorite rocketship underpants if nobody ever asks to see 'em?" -- Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes.
"It really comes down to parsimony, economy of explanation. It is possible that your car engine is driven by psychokinetic energy, but if it looks like a petrol engine, smells like a petrol engine and performs exactly as well as a petrol engine, the sensible working hypothesis is that it is a petrol engine." -- Richard Dawkins.
"Sometimes I think we're alone. Sometimes I think we're not. In either case, the thought is staggering." -- Buckminster Fuller.
"If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?" -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
"We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another." -- Luciano de Crescenzo.
"Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear." -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
"You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help." -- Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes.
"Our strength is often composed of the weakness we're damned if we're going to show." -- Mignon McLaughlin.
"There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who need closure." -- Mark Schmidt.
