I love quotes. I collect them. So what are some favorites? I'll start and it is something I feel applies more strongly now than ever. Harlan Ellison “You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”

I've got one from The Philadelphia Story: "The truth is you'll never be a first class writer or a first class human being until you've learned to have some small regard for human frailty."

This question from Stephen Hawking has been perplexing me for a long time now. Stephen Hawking "Why do we remember the past but not the future?"

"And all the host laughed and wept, and in the midst of their merriment and tears the clear voice of the minstrel rose like silver and gold, and all men were hushed. And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness." (Tolkein)
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." (Douglass Adams)
"I'll get there, if I leave everything but my bones behind," said Sam. 'And I'll carry Mr. Frodo up myself, if it breaks my back and heart. So stop arguing!" (Tolkein)

One of my favorite writers and the person I wish most were alive & writing at this point in time, Hunter S. Thompson. I learned a long time ago that reality was much weirder than anyone's imagination.
