Interesting Quotes

Tools    





So, I've been collecting quotes from around the web and saving them in folder on my computer, usually in the format of those cheesy pics with a portrait of the author next to the quote or a mountainous scenery in the background. They don't at all pertain to film - although i do sometimes grab one here or there - and they mostly revolve around philosophical thought, government (i won't make it political), or thoughts on the absurdities of life.

Anyways, i have a collection of them and I'm hoping some others will post theirs so i can steal them. Also, if you wouldn't mind posting in the same format that would be appreciated; i save them this way bc it's honestly the easiest way to catalog them.

Here's a few with no particular message:

Just finished a book on veganism and there was a quote used in one chapter on animals and sentience by Albert Einstein that I particularly liked although apparently he didn't say it, I still like it though:





Can't deny Spock's logic.
That last one isn't actually a Spock quote. Who said it? I know.

It's a combination of Mirror Spock and Captain Kirk in the TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror", (one of the greatest episodes ever made).

“I tell my students, 'When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.”--Toni Morrison
