"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here." --Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg address
"In every system of morality, which I have hitherto met with, I have always remark'd, that the author proceeds for some time in the ordinary ways of reasoning, and establishes the being of a God, or makes observations concerning human affairs; when all of a sudden I am surpriz'd to find, that instead of the usual copulations of propositions, is, and is not, I meet with no proposition that is not connected with an ought, or an ought not. This change is imperceptible; but is however, of the last consequence. For as this ought, or ought not, expresses some new relation or affirmation, 'tis necessary that it shou'd be observ'd and explain'd; and at the same time that a reason should be given; for what seems altogether inconceivable, how this new relation can be a deduction from others, which are entirely different from it." --David Hume, A Treatise on Human Nature via wikipedia
"ENJOLRAS: Let us die facing our foes./Make them bleed while we can.
COMBEFERRE: Make 'em pay through the nose.
COURFEYRAC: Make 'em pay for every man!
ENJOLRAS: Let others rise/ To take our place/ Until the earth is free!" Les Miserables
"Impact velocity. Physics, my ass..." --Sawyer, Lost
"Mercutio. ... Thou! why, thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more or a hair less in his beard than thou hast. Thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes;--what eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel? Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat; and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarrelling. Thou hast quarrelled with a man for coughing in the street, because he hath wakened thy dog that hath lain asleep in the sun. Didst thou not fall out with a tailor for wearing his new doublet before Easter? with another for tying his new shoes with an old riband? and yet thou wilt tutor me from quarrelling!" --Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, Scene 1
"Benvolio. We talk here in the public haunt of men: Either withdraw unto some private place, And reason coldly of your grievances, Or else depart; here all eyes gaze on us.
Mercutio. Men's eyes were made to look, and let them gaze; I will not budge for no man's pleasure, I." --Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, Scene 1
"The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose." --Richard Grant
"He who knows does not speak/He who speaks does not know/And I go round in circles." --George Harrison
"Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man." --Alexander Pope
