I was going to add this to a comment to a post of mine in Rune's topic "Why? Why? WHY???" (if anybody was paying attention to it) but I figured I would start my own thread on it.
I have always liked quotes, especially very profound life lessons revealed in a short quip.
One of my favorites is by Michel de Montaigne:
"Man is surely stark mad. For he cannot create a flea, but he makes Gods by the dozens."
What is/are yours?Brad
"Demons and Gods. The difference is basically that between terrorists and freedom fighters." Terry Pratchett, Eric.
Nietzsche had a few good ones. 'God is dead. We have killed him.'

"I NEVER TOUCHED HIM" said by Death, regarding the year Elvis Presley died.
"Good Omens" - Terry Pratchett
How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter? - Woody Allen
Are you a Pratchett fan, LT?

from bruce almighty..
" god is a mean kid with a magnifying glass and i'm the ant"
One of Nietzsche's favorite was Stendhal's: "God's best excuse is that he doesn't exist."
On a somewhat similar mood, Cioran's: "Johann Sebastian Bach is the best thing which ever happened to God."
(Freely translated from both French and memory.)
Oh, and from Nietzsche himself: "The gods are dead; they died laughing when they heard one of them saying he was the only one."
Czar:Yup, though I haven't read any of his stuff for years.
