"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; [then] beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

-General Charles Napier

Consider the impasse of a One God Universe. He is all knowing and all powerful. He can’t go anywhere since he is already everywhere. He can’t do anything since the act of doing presupposes opposition. His universe is irrevocably thermodynamic, having no friction by definition. So he has to create friction - war, fear, sickness, death - to keep his dying show on the road.

-William S. Burroughs

"Watch them clamber, these swift monkeys! They clamber over one another and thus drag one another into the mud and the depth. They all want to get to the throne: that is their madness — as if happiness sat on the throne. Often, mud sits on the throne — and often the throne also on mud. Mad they all appear to me, clambering monkeys and overardent. Foul smells their idol, the cold monster: foul, they smell to me altogether, these idolators."
-Friedrich Nietzsche

From the Heroes of Newerth Forums:
<OverlordTG> i find it amusing that people say gaming isnt constructive or educational. from HoN ive learned money management, how to time my hits in teamfights, and not to mention how to escape a rapist in the woods

From Boston Legal:
Alan: I always feel slightly sick to my stomach when I work alone in the office late at night.
Denise: I thought you liked being alone.
Alan: Oh, I love being alone. I just prefer to be alone when there's other people around.

"Its not what you know, its what you can prove" was in A Few Good Men. Law Abiding Citizen added the "in court" part at the end.

Also, not an inspiring quote, just hilarious."Sir, are you human?" "No. I am a Meat Popsicle."

Dusting is a good example of the futility of trying to put things right. As soon as you dust, the fact of your next dusting has already been established.
