Ok, I'm cheating - I'm doing ten. I just love quotes.
1. "The 'Net is a waste of time, and that's exactly what's right about it."
- William Gibson (father of the cyberpunk genre; author of "Neuromancer" and "Johnny Mnemonic," among others)
2. "It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one."
-George Harrison
3. "All great lovers are articulate, and verbal seduction is the surest road to actual seduction."
-Marya Mannes
(And on that note, time for me to go get laid :-p jk)
4. "She is not perfect. You are not perfect. The question is whether or not you are perfect for each other."
-Robin Williams, "Good Will Hunting"
5. "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
-H. L. Mencken
(That wasn't a quote, THAT WAS PROPHECY!)
6. "The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair; and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."
-J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Fellowship of the Ring"
7. "Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have."
-Louis E. Boone
8. "Defining and analyzing humor is a pastime of humorless people."
-Robert Benchley
9. "A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side."
-Aristotle
(Another VERY prophetic statement)
10. "Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time."
-Terry Pratchett, "Hogfather"
