Slartibartfast: Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what's actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, "Hang the sense of it," and keep yourself busy. I'd much rather be happy than right any day.
Arthur Dent: And are you?
Slartibartfast: Ah, no. Well, that's where it all falls down, of course.
 
The one about stupidity not being painful.... remove the warning signs and see how painful it gets for sufferers of that affliction lol..

Stand up for what's right,even if you stand alone... unknown... at least by me lol
 
There's the one in my sig - from The Catcher in the Rye (J.D. Salinger), and then there's this one that I've always liked...

"And you know what? Accidents don't happen to people who take accidents as personal insults. If a bolt of lightning struck a friend of his, the old man would take it personal."

-Michael Corleone on his father in The Godfather (Mario Puzo)

I hope it's fine mine are all novels. And there's one I really like from Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk) - but it's a bit offensive and probably best left unsaid. But it's right at the end of the novel. :D
 
One can not always be laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty. ~ Jane Austen

One man's way may be as good as another's, but we all like our own best. ~Jane Austen
 
Several from Voltaire:

"I'm sorry I wrote you such a long letter, but I didn't have time to write a short one."

"Poets muddy their own waters to make them appear deep."

"God created man in his own image and man returned the compliment."
 
I don't know who said it but I love this one:

Don't let your past dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you will become
 
Since today is his birthday I thought I'd share some of my favorite author's quotes:

The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.

If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences.

What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world's beauty, is everything!

Heaven knows where I'll end up - but it's a safe bet that I'll never be at the top of anything! Nor do I particularly care to be.

I couldn't live a week without a private library - indeed, I'd part with all my furniture and squat and sleep on the floor before I'd let go of the 1500 or so books I possess.

I never ask a man what his business is, for it never interests me. What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams.

H.P. Lovecraft 20 August 1890 - 15 March 1937
