Favourite quotes?

�Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them.�

Excellent, excellent thread idea, Edith.

If you can see, see
An unseen world of teeming nations in the clay;
Souls bustling and
Spirits swarming in the water.

About the only two quotes that come to my mind that say something about how I hope to live life are

The secret of happiness is this: Let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.
--Bertrand Russell

The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.
--Muhammad Ali

As for my actual favourite quote, I prefer "I find your lack of faith disturbing" -- Darth Vader

*There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
--Rumi

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
--Andre Gide

nb. Gide and Rumi are totally quotable; all the time, in every situation. I had to restrain myself to just two quotes.

Never argue with idiots, first they drag you down to their level then they beat you with experience.

I'm paraphasing here, but Oscar Wilde said that the only way to rid yourself of a temptation is to succumb to it. I kinda like that...
