So Facepunch, what are some of your most favorite quotes?
Some quotes from some famous people
Einstein:
[quote]
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.
[/quote]
Dr. Seuss:
[quote]
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.
[/quote]
Shakespeare:
[quote]
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
There's place and means for every man alive.
If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor.
Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.

There are definitely others, but I can't think of them. Gotta get up early for class tomorrow. Might add em later.

"TO WAR!" - me
You can't quote yourselves you self-obsessed morons
"Like taking candy from a crippled baby"
[QUOTE]Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]My area of research is something that in all fairness has no practical usability whatsoever and the thing is I'm often asked to apologize for that. It is interesting to me that people ask 'what's the point of doing that if it's not useful?' But they never ask that, or do they very rarely ask that about art or literature or music. Those things are not gonna produce a better toaster. [/QUOTE]
Both from Lawrence M. Krauss.
[QUOTE][B]We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born.[/B] The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred? [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]The word 'mundane' has come to mean boring and dull, and it really shouldn't. It should mean the opposite because it comes from the latin 'mundus', meaning the world, and the world is anything but dull; the world is wonderful. There's [I]real[/I] poetry in the [I]real[/I] world. [B]Science is the poetry of reality.[/B][/QUOTE]
Both by Richard Dawkins. The second one quite efficently sums up my feelings about science.
[QUOTE]Science is the best tool ever devised for understanding how the world works.[/QUOTE]
