Well, everyone has their collections. I collect quotes. Here is a short list of my top favorite quotes. Share some of yours.

Two people from the AHK forums have made it to my top list. :)

I apologize if any of these quotes offend you in any way. It was not intended.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" -Epicurus

"That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not." Thomas Paine

"If thou trusteth to the book called the Scriptures, thou trusteth to the rotten staff of fables and falsehood." -Thomas Paine

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." -Charles Darwin

"I think that physics is the most important—indeed the only—means we have of finding out the origins and fundamentals of our universe, and this is what interests me most about it. I believe that as science advances religion necessarily recedes, and this is a process I wish to encourage, because I consider that, on the whole, the influence of religion is malign." - William Bowen Bonnor

"In the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." -Albert Einstein

"When you understand why you don't believe in other gods, you'll understand why I don't believe in your's." -NetWriter

"To stupid to understand science? Try religion." -NetWriter

"I personally prefer understanding over ignorance in all cases." -[VxE]

"There was a time when religion ruled the world, it is called the DARK AGES." -Ruth Green

"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world." -Richard Dawkins

"When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion." - Robert M. Pirsig

"Last time I checked, talking to invisible people is diagnosed as Schizophrenia." -Eli Loker

"A math problem is the only place where you can have 60 watermelons and no one wonders why." -Anonymous

‎"I don't think we should pay as much attention to a book that says 'The end' at the end." -Christel Williams

"I have a new belief system. I believe that some magical day, at some time, a miraculous force will be unleashed on the world that will take every Christian with it and take them to a world of complete understanding, truthfulness, and peace... Oh wait... There's already such a force.... Rational thought." -Eli Hawkins

"People say you don't have true happiness if you don't believe in god. People also say that ignorance is bliss." -Eli Hawkins

"It's better to wait for true love than it is to indulge in infatuation." -Eli Hawkins

"You can have either peace, or freedom, but never both." -Anonymous

"I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it." -Edith Sitwell

"You know you're a geek when you can solve a rubik's cube while having sex. You know your girlfriend is a geek when she takes the rubik's cube from you and starts to the play with it too." -Eli Hawkins and Laura Dove

"If everyone in the world disappeared when I went outside, I would go outside more often :D" -tidbit

"kll....
...................0
6 u ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i ghu 0 .0,ki[[[[[[[[[[////// b" -Ellie Hawkins

"Dear all shoppers and employees. Testicles, I repeat, testicles. That is all." -Peter Griffin

"You uploaded a bunch of songs by a metal band who remixes video game music, and you complain when you get comments from a bunch of nerds who shout memes? That's like making a movie about sexually ambiguous teen vampires and complaining when your core fanbase turns out to be 15-year-old emo chicks who frequent Hot Topic the way most people would a church." -CheezeFox

"Down through the centuries the notion that life is rounded in a dream has been a pervasive theme of philosophers and poets. So doesn't it make sense that death, too, would be wrapped in dream? That after death, your conscious life would continue, in what might be called a dream body? It would be the same dream body you experience in your everyday dream life, except that in the post-mortal state, you could never again wake up. Never again return to your physical body." -Benn Jordan

"But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." -V[/list]

"It is impossible for any number which is a power greater than the second to be written as a sum of two like powers. I have a truly marvellous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain." - Pierre de Fermat

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein

Personal favourite:

"I really enjoy the sensation of orgasm." - Ben Goldacre

Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember than no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in a fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasting days combating the menial forces of hate, jealousy, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.

"The sooner you fall behind, the more time you will have to catch up" - I think that came from a Rizla packet but it rings so true.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not after you - Again not sure who originally said this but it has served me well.

I told you I was ill - Inscription on Spike Milligans gravestone (although written in Gaelic due to an idiot council).

"The question is not, if you're paranoid. The question is are you paranoid enough?" - Unknown

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing;
and from robbing he comes next to drinking and sabbath-breaking,
and from that to incivility and procrastination.

–Thomas de Quincey, "On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts" (1839)

Rene Decartes walked into a bar. The bartender asked, "Would you like our signature brew? It's brand new." To which Decartes responded, "I don't think so." He disappeared.

Lolz, a joke my friend told me once.

I've posted this before, but this thread can use another bacon quote:

Roger Bacon wrote:
If in other sciences we should arrive at certainty without doubt and truth without error, it behooves us to place the foundations of knowledge in mathematics.
