"While we're at it, we have a sort of a cowboy song we'd like to do for ya. This is a song that deals with the rapidly approaching 200th birthday of the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen.

This is a song that warns you in advance, that next year, everybody is gonna try and sell you things that maybe you shouldn't ought to buy. And not only that. They've been planning it for years. …"

- Frank Zappa

Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all. -- Richard P. Feynman

On a related note:

"If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards!' "

I like many of the classic ones by Voltaire (1694-1778):

"It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong."

"To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?"

"Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value - zero."

"If you can make people believe in absurdities, you can make them commit atrocities."

"Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.“

"'Cause Papa don't allow no new ideas here."​

"If you got the news, saw the footage — conspicuous — or, for some reason, you didn't, ask yourself why, seeker."

There are tons of great quotes and I don't really have a single favorite, but one I think about quite a bit is:

"For there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

- Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

 

[Fleebag]

"Hold my Beer [BRRRRRRP]"

 

[ElectroVibe]

When I got older, when I opened my eyes and saw the real world, I began to laugh and I haven't stopped since.
- Soren Kierkegaard

Historians estimate that breaking enigma shortened the war by more than two years, saving over 14 million lives. It remained a government-held secret, for more than fifty years. Turing's work inspired generations of research into what scientists called "Turing machines,"

Today we call them computers.

In today's world:

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
