Some assorted quotes:
- Anton Devious (somewhere in the internet):
Be patient or be a patient.
- Leon Tolstoi (as he was dying):
Even in the valley of the shadow of death, two and two do not make six.
- John von Neumann:
If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.
- Don Quijote (Miguel de Cervantes)
Déjales que rían, Sancho; que a nosotros siempre nos quedará la gloria de haberlo intentado.
- Tim Bisley (a.k.a. Simon Pegg) in Spaced:
Life just isn’t like the movies […] We’re constantly led to believe in resolution, in the re-establishment of the ideal status quo, and it’s just not true. Happy endings are a myth, designed to make us feel better about the fact that life is just a thankless struggle.
- Odo (a.k.a. René Auberjonois) in Deep Space Nine:
I’ll never understand this obsession with accumulating material wealth. You spend your entire life plotting and scheming to acquire more and more possessions until your living areas are bursting with useless junk. Then you die, your relatives sell everything, and start the cycle all over again
- Sigmund Freud:
We shall tell ourselves that it would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent Providence, and if there were a moral order in the universe and an after-life; but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be.
