The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

 

- George Bernard Shaw

 

 

Yeah, so the conclusion is to be responsibly drunk and a responsible believer (e.i. not a zealot or something).

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a good one:

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

And the extended quote from my signature:

 

Vila: Have you thought of another plan?

 

Avon: Yes, I'm going to get some sleep.

 

Vila: How can you sleep with all this happening?

 

Avon: With all what happening? Blake is sitting up in a tree. Travis is sitting up in another tree. Unless they're planning to throw nuts at one another, I don't see much of a fight developing before it gets light.

 

Gan: You're never involved are you Avon? Have you ever cared for anyone?

 

Vila: Except yourself?

 

Avon: I've never understood why it should be necessary to become irrational in order to prove that you care, or indeed why it should be necessary to prove it at all.

 

Vila: Was that an insult, or did I miss something?

 

Cally: You missed something.

Whoever does not have the stomach for this fight, let him depart. Give him money to speed his departure since we wish not to die in that man's company. Whoever lives past today and comes home safely will rouse himself every year on this day, show his neighbor his scars, and tell embellished stories of all their great feats of battle. These stories he will teach his son and from this day until the end of the world we shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for whoever has shed his blood with me shall be my brother. And those men afraid to go will think themselves lesser men as they hear of how we fought and died together.

Probably this, although that they're lyrics, I always have them quoted somewhere I can see them...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So long astoria; I found a map to buried treasure, and even if we come home empty handed we'll still have our stories of battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts, broken bones, and all the best of friendships, and when this hourglass has filtered out its final grain of sand, i'll raise my glass to the memories we had

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always loved that quote. Kinda just says do things for the hell of it, and the adventure, rather than just what you're gonna get out of it materially.

"You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ã

"Whether you believe you can do something or you believe you cannot, either way, you are correct."

 

 

 

It's something along those lines anyway. Not sure who it's by but it is the only quote that springs to mind that I particularly like.
