hey /sci/, as you know senior quotes are due by the end of the month and being the retard that I am I can't think of a profound, mind-blowing quote. So lets have an epic quote thread.

What sort are you looking for? A topic or theme would narrow it down.

How about "Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it", "In The Absence Of Light, Darkness Prevails!" (Indian proverb and my personal favorite), or "Experience has taught me that wishful thinking only leads to disappointment".

Shit, there's a ton by Oscar Wilde, Winston Churchill, Mark Twain or Ayn Rand that I love...

One of my favourites has to be this one by Dr. Seuss, though: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

"Wretched, ephemeral race, children of chance and tribulation, why do you force me to tell you the very thing which it would be most profitable for you not to hear? The very best thing is utterly beyond your reach: not to have been born, not to be, to be nothing. However, the second best thing for you is: to die soon."

Just because she was a psycho it doesn't mean she didn't say some nice, clever shit. For example:

>"Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death."

>"Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives."

>"Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice."

>"Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where a gun begins."

But then, on the other hand, she can say some scary shit like this:

>"Evil requires the sanction of the victim."

>"If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject."
