Your favorite Quotes/Sayings.

Found a really great Quote from one of my favorite authors today on one of the other forums I frequent, gave me the idea to start a thread here for people to post their favorite quotes/sayings. So yeah, let the fun/disscussions begin.

My favorite quotes are...

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely
descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about
being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush
at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of
childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in
moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But
to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern
about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was
ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had
been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I
became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of
childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

- C.S. Lewis

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

-Edgar Allen Poe

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

-Pope John XXIII

And this last one is my favorite because its SO TRUE! kitty

Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.

-Walt Disney

Re: Your favorite Quotes/Sayings.

Damnit SM44, I was gonna post that C.S. Lewis quote...

"Gen Urobuchi wants to write stories that can warm people's hearts. Those who know about my creative history would probably furrow their brows and think this is a cold joke. Actually, I couldn't completely believe it, either. Because when I start typing out words on the keyboard, the stories my brain comes up with are always full of madness and despair. ... I am full of hatred towards men's so-called happiness, and had to push the characters I poured my heart out to create into the abyss of tragedy. "
- Gen Urobuchi

"Sometimes I think the surest sign of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." - Calvin and Hobbes

‎"The most merciful thing in the world... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. " - H.P. Lovecraft

"Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious." - Oscar Wilde

"The problem is that the people with the most ridiculous ideas are always the people who are most certain of them." - Bill Maher

Re: Your favorite Quotes/Sayings.

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be acheived by understanding."
- Albert Einstein (shown at the end of Gundam 00: Awakening Of The Traiblazer)

But one of my favorite funny ones:

"This secret film was filmed secretly as Racer X confronted two of our top agents."
- Dub line from an old VHS copy I had of Speed Racer episode The Trick Race

My brothers and I crack up about this one to this day. Don't believe me? Go here: http://youtu.be/uQNn5G6Yrto
The line is about 1:07 into the clip.
