Favorite Quotes?

[SilverFang26]

I have been spending a lot of time lately searching for quotes online. I found some really good ones. Basically I am wondering what you guys think is funny, wise, or even just outright idiotic or irritating. These can be quotes from famous people or characters in the media(tv, movie, music,...) or even people you know(including you). Whatever you do please give credit to the person who you heard it from.
I will give some of my favorites:

from intuition."--Peter Reese

human mind." --John A. Huthinson

do."--Epictetus

Here's more bullshit middlebrow philosophy: "That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger." I've got something a little more realistic: "That which doesn't kill me still may sever my spinal cord, crush my rub cage, cave in my skull, and leave me helpless and paralyzed, soaking in a puddle of my own waste." Put that on your T-shirt, you touchy-feely, New Age asshole!

[Dawn the White Knight]

"The purpose of war is not to die for your country but to make the otehr bastard die for his." - Don't remember

Both of those are by General Patton.

For all you aspiring Writers out there:

Ursula K. Le Guin - As a writer you are free. You are about the freest person that ever was. Your freedom is what you have bought with your solitude, your loneliness.

William Sansom - A writer lives, at best, in a state of astonishment. Beneath any feeling he has of the good or evil of the world lies a deeper one of wonder at it all.

Anais Nin - The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say.

Ray Bradbury - You will have to write and put away or burn a lot of material before you are comfortable in this medium. You might as well start now and get the work done. For I believe that eventually quantity will make for quality.

W. Somerset Maugham - There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately no one knows what they are.

Tom Clancy - Success is a finished book, a stack of pages each of which is filled with words. If you reach that point, you have won a victory over yourself no less impressive than sailing single-handed around the world.

Anne Tyler - It's true that writing is a solitary occupation, but you would be surprised at how much companionship a group of imaginary characters can offer once you get to know them.

Quentin Crisp - There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money; the second, that you have something to say that you think the world should know; the third is that you can't think what to do with the long winter evenings.
