I'll start with some of my faves:

'You can't care about nothing and stay human, you can't care about everything and stay sane' (I read this in Reader's Digest about 15 years ago)

'A stone falls on the pot, woe to the pot. A pot falls on the stone, woe to the pot. In both cases, it is bad for the pot' (The Talmud)

'If you seek to criticize me; you need to be inside me' (Mizkevich)

'The tongue is an ideal tool with which to transmit the ideas conceived by the human mind; but in the domain of deep feeling, it is weak' (I can't remember, but Pisceans especially will relate to this)

'Stop thinking, end misery' (Lao Tzu)

'Macho does not prove mucho' (Mae West)

'Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all' (Helen Keller)

"Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?"
- Lao Tzu

"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian."

"Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved into a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.
Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken."
- Neal Stephenson, _Snow Crash_

"The personal, as everyone's so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here ? it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it's just business, it's politics, it's the way of the world, it's a tough life and that it's nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal."
- Richard K. Morgan, Altererd Carbon

"Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon."

"If you are going to kiss it, you might as well fuck it"

"If you don't want to fuck me baby; fuck off!"

"The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do."

?There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.? Don Juan deMarco (1995)

"I think a man only needs one thing in life. He just needs someone to love. If you can't give him that, then give him something to hope for. And if you can't give him that, just give him something to do."

Flight of the Phoenix (2004)

"The first day's the toughest, no doubt about
it. They march you in, hand you your uniform and force you to pose for
the photographer while loads of fat, tattooed, skinheads shout abuse at
you. That's when you know it's for real. A whole life blown away in the
blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think
about it. That's when it hits home. That's when you realise you've
signed for Newcastle."

- Joey Barton
