Which quotes( not from yourself) do you appreciate the most?
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” ~ Albert Einstein
I've had people come up to me with the strangest interpretations of what lyrics might mean, and I'm like, 'You go! I never thought of that, but that works,' ... I think true art is a universal reflection, and true artists are just messengers of that reflection - or, at best, skilled presenters.” ~ Serj Tankian
"I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others." ~ Confucius ... "There are two kinds of truth: the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous. " ~ Raymond Chandler

I've only read this as Swedish, but I'll try to translate it as best as I can. Can't remember who made this quote, but I think it was Pablo Picasso...
"When you're happy, you drink to celebrate. When you're sad, you drink to forget. When nothing's happening, you drink so something will happen."

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” ~ Albert Einstein I once made a roleplay based around this quote. One of my favorites: "Know something about everything and everything about something."

(kind of paraphrasing this one, but it is still easily one of my favorite quotes ever) "By protecting others, you save yourself. This is the nature of war. If you think only of yourself, you'll only destroy yourself." - Kambei Shimada (actor Takashi Shimura), The Seven Samurai"You are not stupid for seeking people you identify with. You are not an idiot for finding friends and feeling like you have somewhere you belong. Your particular brand of happiness might be pretty fucked-up, but you’re not fucked-up for pursuing that happiness. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, wave that freak flag high." - Noah Antwiler (TheSpoonyOne) I kind of get the feeling I'll be dissed for this one but I don't care. I'll still love this just as much. lololol it's a quote in a quote

Quotes from different comic series and stuff "We thought that by making your world more violent, we would make it more 'realistic,' more 'adult.' God help us if that's what it means." - Animal Man #26"There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long -- people.
No matter how big the idea is they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened.
It's people that kill every revolution." - Spider Jerusalem
"The Twentieth century gave the human race it's score card. Kardashev and Dyson made concrete the notion of type one, type two and type three civilizations.
A type one civilization has mastered its planet, inside out, is utilizing the world's entire energy potential and has wiped away all the internal struggles of its race.
A type two civilization has energy needs so massive that it can only be met by physically harnessing the sun.
In the type three scenario, the civilization has gone galactic, extracting energy on an interstellar basis.
We can make magic with engines smaller than a virus, and yet, just today, twenty-four people in this city alone will die from having walked into the wrong district or community. We are still not even a type one civilization. This remains a zero society." - Amfeed Broadcast "Don't take no shit off fools. Judge a person by what's in 'em, not how they look. An' you do the right thing. Be one of the good guys. 'Cause there's way too many of the bad." - John Custer (^ this one is my favorite favorite favorite)"Yeh know I was talkin' about fellas like Pearse, who go on about blood sacrifices, an' glory an' beauty in fightin'? Well they're the ones yeh fuckin' shoot first." - Cassidy"Thinking about Vietnam once in a while, in a crazy kind of way, I wish that just for a while I could be there. Then be transported back. Maybe just to be there so I'd wish I was back here again." - Anonymous US Serviceman, quoted in Nam by Mark Baker"So we banged the drum slowly and we played the fife lowly And silently wept as we bore him along For we all loved our comrade, so brave and handsome We all loved our comrade, although he'd done wrong" - The Cowboy's LamentAlso this
