Default Say something quotable

I thought about putting this in the fun and games section but I want to keep this serious.

I often use quotes because someone else said something better than I could have. In this thread I would like to see others say something better then anything else. Doesn't matter what the topic is just needs to be something that you really believe.

I'll start.

Most people when faced with adversity only see defeat. A fortunate few can stare adversity straight in the eyes and only see opportunity.

Same with my siggy. I happened to be eating a bag of assorted nuts when thinking about what the reactions were to my coming out.

"Coming out is like a bag of nuts. There's the bitter nuts, the sweet nuts, and the religious nuts."

Also "I'm came out of the closet, now I'm filling it with fabulous clothes!"

I can't remember where I saw this (it may even be somebody's signature here!), but anyway, it goes to the effect of...

The pen is mightier than the sword, and considerably easier to write with.

Next to being witty yourself, the best thing is being able to quote another's wit.

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

There are two types of fem gay guys. First, there are the cute, funny ones (who by the way are HOT). Then there are the perpetually horny-looking and sounding ones, those whose words always seem to be covered in a mixture of glitter and KY Jelly.

If Prometheus gaves us blind hope, and it is said that love is blind, then hope for love is double blind.

One of my favourites, from the Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare;

Quote:
Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
Replace Jew with Gay, and Christian with Straight, and you've pretty much got my rant to a certain person after they said we did not deserve basic human rights.
