Re: The Quote Thread
I'd post the first quote that came to mind, but it'd be a wall-o-text. So I'll just add an exert from said quote.
"The instant man stops fearing is the instant the species reaches a dead-end."

Only if you believe "You don't deny fear, you move forward in the face of it"
I'm afraid all the quotes I can come up with are the deterministic inspiring stuff that you spit out to help motivate, despite usually being full of holes.

"The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter — for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way." -N. Tesla

Edit: since this post needs a quote:

"I'd be willing to come down and rape you with a cactus while you perform one of your one act plays. It's a long way, but it seems the least I could do."

"What can I do to make myself noticed, to stand out from the other actors and singers and dancers, what can I do to make myself the center of attention?"
-What seems to be a 16 year old girl thinking she's all hot because she had the lead in a school musical.

"Never, never, interrupt me, okay? Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home, and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint. Even then, don't come knocking. Or, it's election night, and you're excited and you wanna celebrate because some fudgepacker that you date has been elected the first queer president of the United States and he's going to have you down to Camp David, and you want someone to share the moment with... Even then, don't knock. Not on this door. Not for ANY reason. Do you get me, sweetheart?"
