OK, let's have a "Quotes" thread!
Been reading some lately... and oh... there are some inspiring, some stupid, some funny... but I always find them somehow interesting to read.
OK, if you post here don't forget to mention the original author, be it you or someone else. So, here's one from me for start; Quote:

"When it's time to stop living, I will certainly make Death my number one
choice!" -- (Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent) "Rincewind had always been happy to think of himself as a racist. The One Hundred Meters, the Mile, the Marathon -- he'd run them all." -- (Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent) "If the Creator had said, "Let there be light" in Ankh-Morpork, he'd have gotten no further because of all the people saying "What colour?"" -- (Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms) |
It's better to give more than receive. I know that one from my father. And he wasn't a writer, he was a street fighter !

"Oh, well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning in his grin" (From the song Paradise Circus, by Massive Attack). |
"If the question of what it all means doesn't mean anything, why do I keep coming back to it?"
"She's getting existential again." "It's okay, I have a super-soaker" :p <- clicky :D |

it was fun though. |
There are only 10 kinds of persons, those who understand binary, and those who don't!

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. --W.Shakespeare: MacBeth, act V, scene V |

"Don't look back, something might be gaining on you."
--Satchel Paige "Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest." --Mark Twain |
I like this quote from a video game:

Here's a M$ one, dunno the original author:
Windows is now a 64 bit tweak of a 32 bit extension to a 16 bit user interface for an 8 bit operating system based on a 4 bit architecture from a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. |
"The company of those seeking the truth is infinitely preferable to that of those who think they've found it."
~ Terry Pratchet "There is no such thing as a free lunch." "If it looks to good to be true, it probably is." "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity." "Belief gets in the way of learning" "When all is said and done, a lot more is said than done." "You live and learn, or you don't live long." "Its amazing how much 'mature wisdom' resembles simply being too tired." "Why do people who know the least know it the loudest?" ~ RA Heinlein "If you don't know stuff, you're not stupid, just ignorant. Stupidity is when you don't want to know stuff. No resemblance." "If you follow the flock, you'll step in shit." ~ me. |
