I think quotes are awesome. Tidbits of knowledge taken from the best thing said of an entire person's life. A sliver of all the words ever said, but only the very best ones. I keep a 'quote journal' and I regularly add to it when I run across something that I find profound, insightful, creative, or catchy.
So, post your favorite quotes, maybe explain why, and make it easy for me to find more quotes to add to my collection.
Here is a few that I plucked from my pages:
"Even heroes know when to be scared."
"Human judges can show mercy, but against the laws of nature, there is no appeal."
"If you want to save the world, sacrifice yourself. If you want to save yourself, sacrifice the world."
"The power of one man doesn't amount to much. But however little strength I'm capable of, I'll do everything possible to protect the people I love, and in turn they'll protect the ones they love. It seems the least we tiny humans can do for each other."
"This is the way the world ends - not with a bang, but with a whimper."
"Life is s a game, and I'm gonna win it. The world is against me, and it wouldn't be fair otherwise."
"When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what the storm is all about."
"You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else."
"Even the gods hate the absolute, because it stinks of something larger than themselves."
"When you can't run, you crawl, and you can't crawl - when you can't do that, you find someone to carry you."
"History is just the better-known recordings of the rise and fall of practically everybody."
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
"Don't make me into a hero. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one."
"Behind a desk is a dangerous place to view the world."
"If you can't be seven feet tall, be seven feet smart."
"Fine art is knowledge made visible."
"Those who cannot laugh at themselves are far more frightening than those who laugh at everything."
"You're going to have to understand people if you want to be understood."
