History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.
We happy few, we band of brothers, for he who sheds blood with me today shall be my brother
Only two things are infinate, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I've got a few...

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
-Voltaire

This sort of behavior is left to the psychotic, dogmatic, fundamentalist believers you see on your TV everyday letting off bombs and killing people in the name of God. Beliefs are dangerous. Beliefs allow the mind to stop functioning. A non-functioning mind is clinically dead. Believe in nothing.
-- Maynard James Keenan (singer from Tool and A Perfect Circle)

"don't take life too serious, no one has ever made it out alive"

" Whats the worst that could happen?, Well, we hit the water going about thirty miles an hour, and our nuts blow out our eye sockets"

How about some Bill Hicks?

"I'm so sick of arming the world, then sending troops over to destroy the ****ing arms, you know what I mean? We keep arming these little countries, then we go and blow the shit out of them. We're like the bullies of the world, y'know. We're like Jack Palance in the movie Shane, throwing the pistol at the sheepherder's feet.
"Pick it up."
"I don't wanna pick it up, Mister, you'll shoot me."
"Pick up the gun."
"Mister, I don't want no trouble. I just came downtown here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about ten rolls a week of that stuff. I ain't looking for no trouble, Mister."
"Pick up the gun."
(He picks it up. Three shots ring out.)
"You all saw him - he had a gun."

"What the **** is wrong with German People!?"

"No great dependence is to be placed on the eagerness of young soldiers for action, for the prospect of fighting is agreeable to those who are strangers to it." - Vegetius, Roman military writer, 4th century A.D.

"To thine own self be true"

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air,
we shall defend our Island,
whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,
