"For me, life is like a staring contest. Occasionally it's like going against my best friend: I usually lose, but it's still fun. The rest of the time, though, it's like trying to beat a pair of eyes spray painted onto a brick wall."

One of my favorites is:

"It does not prove a thing to be right because the majority say it is so." Something a LOT of people seem to forget these days.

I'll think of more later.

a would better quote Bosch saying "the method behind the madness" or Alpha one saying "but not in my lifetime...and such is liberation"
I don't really have a personal quote...unleast no a flashy one.

I haven't got a favourite, so I'll throw a few out:

"Build a bridge, burn it down and swim the river"

and these are some of my favourites from the director of one of the UWA choirs (and totally out of context):
"You need a big bottom to sing in this room"
"Ladies, sing like you're having your blouse ripped off"
"It's the textual climax of the piece. Feels great, doesn't it."
"You know when you're going to vomit and you cant stop.... sing like that"
There are manymany more of these!

My latest is a William Ernest Henley's poem, the Invictus :

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of Circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of Chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul".

But i found out that it was also favorite to a  Timothy McVeigh guy, which makes me ...  :confused:
