Favourite Quotes

[King_V]

On facebook I've gone quote mad (for my status)... I'm just always amazed by how a one sentence intelligent quote can have a very deep meaning. My favourite quote of the day is:

"In the world of the blind, the one-eyed man is king"

This can have so much meaning on so many levels. You could take it literally, yet you can expand it to a world view. Beautiful! :yay:

...Whats yours?

[Sheikah]

"I fight for my friends."

Such manliness and homo-eroticism in a sentence has never been seen before.

I also put mine in that recent thread.

Come on, guys, I know we've had the thread before, but the other was dead and as far as I'm concerned, reviving old threads is frowned upon.

Albert Einstein has had so many gemstones, and some of them are also funny. These are but a few of my favourites:

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."
"Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."
Many of them can be found here (http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~cheshire/EinsteinQuotes.html). Otherwise, just Google them.

It's from an old book written in the 16th century which attempts to demystify popular misconceptions. Apparently at the time people genuinely thought that hedgehogs tried to suck the milk out of cows' udders at night, making the cows sore and irritable.

Ohhh, there's loads, but here's my favourite ones regarding history:

Historians are dangerous people.

A page of history is worth a book of mathematics.

History is littered with wars everyone knew would never happen.
History repeats itself- because no-one listens.

Expect me to be back for more- there's loads I love.

And yes, I love history.

One of my favourite quotes: "I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear is that moment when he has worked his his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - Victorious." - Vince Lombardi

I also love the "Inch by Inch" speech by Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday. However, it's too long to quote. But I listen to it regularly as a pick me up on my MP3 player.

Anything by Spike Miligan, pure comic genius

"A sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree."

"The British Army Works like this - If you hang a man and he dies, keep hanging him until he gets used to it."

"When I look back, the fondest memory I have is not really of the Goons. It is of a girl called Julia with enormous breasts."

"Well, we can't stand around here doing nothing, people will think we're workmen."

[Paj!]

"I've got meanness in me. And some of you girls have meanness in you too. And it's not necessarily something I know we're very proud of. Well...sometimes I'm not when I'm vvvvvvvvicious. And that usually happens because...ohhhh god... who knows why. But it's funny when it happens and you just become one of these like um...you know those comic books? Sven the berserker? Well, it'd be nice if I had a better understanding of it. And I think those of you that have those crazy tempers know what I'm talking about. Now some of you are at the other end of those crazy tempers, which isn't that fun either is it? Or maybe it is, isn't it, you little mmmMmmMmm, you little gimp, you! (snort-laughs) But um, the thing is, this girl I knew once named Marianne, was the absolutely, you know, coolest. She was totally cool. And yet, she didn't have this meanness in her. She had so many other things in her, you know, but meanness wasn't one of them. So, when I was hangin around her, I didn't need to have this meanness. Basically when my mother said, 'hey, um, oh my god...Marianne killed herself.' The only thing I could think of was, 'Fuck you, mom.' Because, in truth, nobody was really the same after Marianne killed herself."

Haha, what a creationist loser! I see he tried to explain and justify on the next page that 'the sun doesn't count' with a really flimsy reason. That is so shoddy yet brilliant at the same time.
I like alot of quotes about procrastination, cos I'm such a procrastinator. I've got some slightly amazing things done whilst procrastinating(things I would never have done otherwise) and I find the first quote incredibly fitting. I sometimes think I could probably rule the world if it wasn't what I was supposed to be doing.

"Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he's supposed to be doing at the moment."

"Procrastination is like masturbation, It's fun until you realize you just fucked yourself".

"If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done."

"Procrastinators: Leaders of Tomorrow!"

My friend has that on a t-shirt. :heh:

[navarre]

More serious quotes before I move onto the funny ones:

History makes some amends for the shortness of human life.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face- forever.

All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.

The animals outside looked from the pigs to the humans; from the humans to the pigs; then from the pigs to the humans again. But already it was impossible to say which was which.

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the landing grounds; we shall fight on the beaches; we shall fight in the streets and in the hills; we shall never surrender.

It's time for the human race to enter the Solar System.

Other quotes I find quite interesting are:
'Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim'.
'The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs'

Kudos to anyone who can tell me who said them - they are from two different people.

Another good one - 'I do not consider Hitler to be as bad as he is depicted. He is showing an ability that is amazing and seems to be gaining his victories without much bloodshed.'

[Rummy]

Those last few sound quite...err...fun.. I picked up a copy of Wall and Piece by Banksy the other day(quite literally picked up, it was in the office at work, ironically amongst the folders about procedures and policies) and I had a flick through, never known about Banksy before, but I found some of the art and the quotes really quite interesting.

"And a man sat alone... drenched deep in sadness... and all the animals drew near to him and said: "we do not like to see you so sad... ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it."

The man said: "I want to have good sight..."

The vulture replied:
"you shall have mine."

The man said: "I want to be strong..."

The jaguar said: "you shall be strong like me."

Then the man said: "I long to know the secrets of the earth."

The serpent replied:
"I will show them to you."

And so it went with all the animals.

And when the man had all the gifts that they could give...

...he left

Then the owl said to the other animals: "Now the man knows much and is able to do so many things...

The deer said:
"The man has all that he needs, now his sadness will stop."

But the owl replied: "no"

"I saw a hole in the man... deep like a hunger he will never fill... it is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking...

Until one day the world will say: "I am no more and I have nothing left to give..."

This is a Native American quote which represents the battle within - and it is a prophecy of what materialism will do to you and the world.
