Default Cool quotes

I like looking up different quotes and sharing them. The threads I found relating to this are old so I thought I would create a new thread. I welcome you all to share quotes you enjoy. Here is one I like.

It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil — which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama. - Richard Feynman

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Fuck. Yeah. xD

I have a thing for Feynman so here is another.

You say you are a nameless man. You are not to your wife and to your child. You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself — it is too sad a way to be. Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naïve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher's ideals are. - Richard Feynman

I have a good one:

"Do you find me sadistic? You know, I bet I could fry an egg on your head right now, if I wanted to. You know, Kiddo, I'd like to believe that you're aware enough even now to know that there's nothing sadistic in my actions. Well, maybe towards those other... jokers, but not you. No Kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most...masochistic...." *bang*

"There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."
~C. S. Lewis

"WoW [World of Warcraft] is not an escape from life, it is a reflection of it. It is a journey we walk with our friends, and a memory we carry with us when we log out and come back to the real world. Make it something that you can remember with a smile, not because you played a game, but because you played it with fun, beauty, and kindness for everyone who played along with you. Any hobby you have can [be,] and should be, part of a life worth living."
-David Bowers of WoW.com, [link]

I collect quotes myself, so I have several I'd love to share:

"We all die. The goal isn't to live forever. The goal is to create something that will." ~ Chuck Palahniuk

“Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending.” ~ Jim Henson

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none." ~ William Shakespeare

"Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed." ~ G.K. Chesterton

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face; you must do the thing you think you cannot do." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

"I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellect." ~ Oscar Wilde

“Life itself is the proper binge.” ~ Julia Child

"It's not so important who starts the game, but who finishes it." ~ John Wooden

"The question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or the others crazy?" ~ Albert Einstein

"The Hokey Pokey. Think about it. At the end of the song, what do we learn? What is it all about? You put your whole self in!" ~ Martin de Maat

"You know what intimacy is? It's into-me-you-see." ~ Martin de Maat

"No one will ever follow you down the street if you're carrying a banner that says, 'Onward toward mediocrity.'" ~ Martin de Maat

"...and there's your laugh." ~ Martin de Maat

“I think that failure by your own standards is certainly a form of success.” ~ Bonnie Hunt

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

"Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, and make it possible." ~T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)
