"If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe."
~Carl Sagan
"Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.
"From these contraries spring what the religious call good & evil."
~William Blake
"Enlightenment itself, however, which reminds faith of the opposite aspect of its separated moments, is just as little enlightened about itself. It has a purely negative attitude to faith so far as it excludes its own content from its purity and takes that content to be the negative of itself. It therefore neither recognizes itself in this negative, in the content of faith, nor for this reason does it bring the two thoughts together, the one which it puts forward itself, and the one to which it opposes the first. Since it does not realize that what it condemns in faith is directly its own thought, it is itself in the antithesis of the two moments, only one of which- viz. in every case the one opposed to faith- it acknowledges, but separates the other from the first, just as faith does."
~Hegel
"I shall never tire of underlining a concise little fact which these superstitious people are loath to admit: namely, that a thought comes when 'it' wants, not when 'I' want."
~Nietzsche

"Julian's always been really sensitive about the whole Patrick Swayze thing because, when we were kids in school the other kids used to tease him and call him "Patrick Swayze"... Julian was reeeeally into Dirty Dancing. I remember one time me and Ricky were coming over to get Julian to go ride bikes, and we walked in the trailer and Julian was dressed up like him, pretending he was in the movie Dirty Dancing... Ricky told everyone at school and from then on they teased him, 'Patrick Swayze'..."

"It's like we go through life with our antennas bouncing off one another, continously on ant autopilot, with nothing really human required of us. Stop. Go. Walk here. Drive there. All action basically for survival. All communication simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient, polite manner. 'Here's your change.' 'Paper or plastic?' 'Credit or debit?' 'You want ketchup with that?' I don't want a straw. I want real human moments. I want to see you. I want you to see me."

"Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless."

You're probably right. Bit of a shame, tbh.
Well, here's another one of my favorite quotes; from this board, no less. All of Cythraul's infamous poems, put together. Tbh this board has had many quoteworthy moments, but if I could get away with sigging that shit, I would.
