    Specialization is for insects.
    Not sure who said it but you can Google it. Came to me in a time of need and changed the way I think.

    Too long to post, but Prospero's last soliloquy from "The Tempest" is my favorite thing ever.

    “So, in "Melting Pot" the children (about a third of whom were kids of color) sang the line, "America was the new world and Europe was the old," in one stroke eradicating the narratives of indigenous persons for whom America was hardly new, and any nonwhite kids whose old worlds had been in Africa or Asia, not Europe.” Tim Wise

    "More than 820 million people in the world suffer from hunger; and 790 million of them live in the Third World."
    Fidel Castro

    As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behavior toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right. ~Isaac Bashevis

    "I had convinced myself for many months that I didn’t really mind the absence of intimacy in my life, the lack of real human connection, but the pleasure I’d felt in this woman’s company-the ring of her laughter, the innocent touch of a hand on my arm-exposed my self- deceit and left me hollow and aching. " - Into The Wild (Jon Krakauer)

    "You don't know about real loss, 'cause that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much." - Good Will Hunting

    "Never bend the truth to fit your reality" - Ajahn Brahm
    "It will pass." - Ajahn Brahm.
    The last one has been very comforting for me, as it reminds me that all situations and feelings, good or bad, will pass eventually. The good is to be enjoyed and appreciated while it's there, and the bad doesn't seem so bad when I know it's only temporary.

    I'll probably think of a thousand more quotes as soon as I post this, so I might return later.

    “You have to be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.” - Cassandra Clare's Clockwork Angel

    “Sometimes you read a book so special that you want to carry it around with you for months after you’ve finished just to stay near it.” - Markus Zusak

    “Playing it safe doesn’t stop bad stuff from happening. So you might as well go for it.” - Cutting Edge 4: Fire and Ice

    “You’re always going to be the same you, just older. It’s not like there’s a moment where you wake up and go, Shit, I’m grown up, I don’t feel like myself anymore.” - Hannah Moskowitz's Invincible Summer

    “Is this your destiny? Or the destiny someone else forced on you?” - Avatar: The Last Airbender

    “My days of not taking you seriously are coming to a middle.” - Firefly

    “When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.” - Unknown

    “The universe is big, vast, complicated and ridiculous, and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles and mass theory. Nine hundred years and never seen one yet. But this would do me.” - Doctor Who (Pandorica Opens)

    “Pride is a very common failing. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that is it very common indeed; that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion to ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.” - Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

    “We all live in a harsh world, but at least I know I do.” - Downton Abbey

    I have a quote document seventeen pages long so I'll stop there. :grin:

    My favorite quote is the one in my signature: "It is not what you say, it is not what you think, it is not what you feel. It is what you do."

    I'm not sure where the quote originated. I can trace it back to the guy who designed the Titanic, but I'm not sure if it was actually his quote or if he heard it elsewhere. [​IMG]

    'Dark times lie ahead of us and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right.-Albus Dumbledore'

    "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt

    “I don't understand it any more than you do, but one thing I've learned is that you don't have to understand things for them to be.”
    ― Mrs. Murray, A Wrinkle in Time

    “Sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
    ~ Alice, Through the Looking Glass

    “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
    ― Dr. Seuss

    “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
    ― Mahatma Gandhi

    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    ― Rob Siltanen

    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt

    "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." - Steve Prefontaine

    "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." - Mae West

    "Work hard and give your best every day until your idols become your rivals."
