A fluff thread for posting funny quotes or exchanges . The people quoted don't necesarily have to be famous, but they can be. So, I'll start us off with one of my personal favorites:
Lady Astor: "Mr. Churchill, you're drunk!" Winston Churchill: "Yes, and you, Madam, are ugly. But tomorrow, I shall be sober."
Lady Astor: "Mr. Churchill, if you were my husband, I'd poison your coffee." Churchill: "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."

I completely agree with her... which is why I never wear ties

"WARNING If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned......"

Technology is like fish. The longer it stays on the shelf, the less desirable it becomes. - Andrew Heller, IBM
UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity. - Dennis Ritchie
Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code. - Dave Olson
If you love something, write it in C; if it compiles, it is yours; if it doesn't, it never was.
When the code and the comments disagree, both are probably wrong.

Forgot I had these in my favorite quotes file:
BUMPER STICKERS
Out of my mind...Back in five minutes. He who laughs last thinks slowest. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it. Where there's a will, I want to be in it. Few women admit their age. Few men act theirs. We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse. Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. You are depriving some poor village of its idiot! Grow your own dope, plant a man. All men are animals, some just make better pets. Don't drink and drive...You might hit a bump and spill it. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? Be nice to your kids...They will pick out your nursing home. Always remember you're unique... Just like everyone else. Make yourself at home .....clean my kitchen. Allow me to introduce my selves! Chaos. Panic. Disorder. My work here is done. Too many freaks not enough circuses. Ambivalent? Well yes and no.... Is it time for your medication or mine? Don't bother me. I'm living happily ever after. I started out with nothing & still have most of it left. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. Whisper my favorite words: "I'll buy it for you." Stress is when you wake up screaming & you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet. Adults are just kids who owe money. I pretend to work. They pretend to pay me. You! Off my planet! A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory. If at first you do succeed, try not to look astonished. I'm just driving this way to get you mad. A closed mouth gathers no feet. A penny saved is ridiculous. Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy. Any small object when dropped will hide under a larger object. Death is life's way of telling you you've been fired. Death is Nature's way of saying 'slow down'. Going the speed of light is bad for your age. It works better if you plug it in. Let not the sands of time get in your lunch. Reality is the only obstacle to happiness. The 2 most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it. I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe. You have the right to remain silent....Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you. A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. On the other hand, you have different fingers. Sometimes I wake up grumpy; other times I let her sleep. Work is for people who don't know how to fish. Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition. If you don't like the news, go out and make some. Sorry, I don't date outside my species. Time is the best teacher; Unfortunately it kills all it's students! How can I miss you if you won't go away? Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself. I'm out of bed and dressed, What more do you want? I intend to live forever - so far, so good. All I want is less to do, more time to do it, and higher pay for not getting it done. Why be difficult when, with a bit of effort, you can be impossible? Life is too complicated in the morning.

Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened. (Winston Churchill)

I'd like to take this opportunity to shamefully admit that I always confuse Winston Churchill with W.C. Fields.
Of course, I also confuse H.G. Wells with Orson Wells. And Daniel Day Lewis with Lou Diamond Philips.

He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
Sir Winston Churchill
Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.
Sir Winston Churchill
When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
Sir Winston Churchill
If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.
Dorothy Parker
The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.
Dorothy Parker
I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them.
Jane Austen
Where any one body of educated men, of whatever denomination, are condemned indiscriminately, there must be a deficiency of information, or...of something else.
Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein (yea, depressing, too)
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
Albert Einstein
I think this is the most amazing quote, and I can't not post it, even though it's not funny at all.
Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.
Albert Einstein
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein
To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.
Albert Einstein
Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves.
Albert Einstein
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Albert Einstein If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
Albert Einstein
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
Albert Einstein
Yes, I am madly in love with Einstein, however did you guess?

The cry "I could have thought of that" is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't. And a very significant and revealing fact it is, too.
Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
quote:"You know, with all this, I just hope you found what you were looking for out there." "I don't know. I guess I found what I .. what I needed, not what I wanted." "Which was?" "Short sharp kick to the head." "Oh hell, I could've done that for you, all you had to do was ask." "Well, you would've enjoyed it too much."

None of your words have their own meanings, you have to look up one word to understand another. It never ends." "Something here doesn't make sense." "That's what I thought when I came across 'crotchety'. This can not be a real word, I said." "The Shadows keep attacking random targets, very illogical.

Never mind. Your face just broke the language barrier." "I'm tired, I haven't had a good nights sleep since Kosh died. Having the kind of nightmares that make your hair stand on end."
