Hey guys,

I've always been a fan of quotes, famous words or poems that strike a chord.... perhaps we can start a thread for posting things that we can share with everyone? Any words, speech or written sentence that really takes your fancy? Perhaps inspires you in some way?

---------

I've decided to put this as the introductory quote for my thesis, as I believe it is worded so perfectly and so brilliantly concerning our individual self:

"In our heart we all know quite well that, being unique, we will be in the world only once and that no imaginable chance will for a second time gather together into a unity so strangely variegated an assortment as we are."

- Nietzsche, Schopenhauer as Educator, [UM, III ,1]

Or this one... posted above my desk to inspire me to work through even the most difficult of texts:

"If the way I have shown to lead to these things now seem very hard, still it can be found. And, of course, what is found so rarely must be hard. For if understanding were at hand, and could be found without great effort, how could nearly everyone neglect it? But all things excellent are as difficult as they are rare."

- Spinoza, Ethics, [5]

--------

I'm a big fan of writing down things that I really like, have you guys got anything to share? :)

V: 'To realize a mistake, to not lie, to love one another, to not kill. Those are very simple things, but these times won't allow for them. There is no green on this planet, even though we want it, and want it so badly. A place where we can live peaceful days with no wars, nor stealing, a sacred place, where people can live as people. Yes there, that place is called...'

10 points to figure out what the last word is supposed to be.
It inspires me to believe we can do it.


S: 'There's a hole in the world. Feels like we ought to have known.'


- Spike (Angel)
Doesn't particualrly mean anything, I just like the quote.

S: 'It was just… that he was all alone. He was by himself. Never anyone to share the game. A man who lived in dreams. That’s who he was.'

- Spike Spiegel

And, the best quote ever:

If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.

I take back what I said before.

THIS is the best quote ever:


Stegosaurus: "We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."

T-Rex: "I think we should call it...your grave!"

Stegosaurus: "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

T-Rex: "Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!"

Hehe. I should add this one, my favourite quote from The Big Bang Theory ever.... made even more hilarious by Sheldon's facial expression and the circumstances surrounding his rage (his WoW account was hacked). :P :P

I think I know how he feels.
Well, not exactly, my WoW never got hacked.
But being hacked on anything feels exactly like that.

Also, a quote I just heard from Futurama which is surprisingly deep:

'There is no scientific proof that life is important'
