A drug is not bad. A drug is a chemical compound. The problem comes in when people who take drugs treat them like a license to behave like an *******.
-Frank Zappa

and

You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.
-Frank Zappa

However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. [V in V for Vendetta (2005)]

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure. [Agent Smith in The Matrix (1999)]


Ohh man don't get me started there. I'm a horrible addict to the matrix and such like... "me, me, me... me too"

Woddy Allen:
"Love is the answer... but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions."

"I don't know the question, but sex is definitely the answer."

"Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best."

"Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons."

"Some guy hit my fender the other day, and I said unto him 'Be fruitful, and multiply.' But not in those words."

" If there is reincarnation, I'd like to come back as Warren Beatty's fingertips "

Oscar Wilde
"It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances."

"Women love men for their defects; if men have enough of them women will forgive them everything, even their gigantic intellects."

"Dammit, sir, it is your duty to get married. You can't be always living for pleasure."

"Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself."

"I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly. "


Various:
"Just follow that one road the whole time!... I hope THEY don't get lost, I'm so bad at giving directions..."

"I don't understand why you can't just teach us history instead of always harping on the past."

"Madness is like gravity... all you need is a little push."

"You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!"

"May you get to Heaven an hour before the Devil knows you're dead."

"Never go to bed mad -- stay up and fight."

and one last Woddy Allen quote to finish up:
"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."

"Don't worry everyone here is just to distracted by the headphones, dac's and amps to notice anything else, except the after-market cables of course and round old(ish) men wearing little bras".

I like your fixation to the Alpha Centauri quotes.

I myself have a fortune running every 30 minutes and I get soo much good quotes all the time. My favourites however seem to be coming from a fortunefile called paradoxum:

I tripped over a hole that was sticking up out of the ground.

Cum tacent, clamant. When they are silent, they shout. -Cicero

I never put on a pair of shoes until I've worn them five years. -Samuel Goldwyn

It isn't an optical illusion. It just looks like one.

Evil isn't all bad.

The first condition of immortality is death. -Stanislaw Lec

Our comedies are not to be laughed at. -Samuel Goldwyn

Honk if you are against noise pollution!

Always be sincere, even when you don't mean it. -Irene Peter

Our similarities are different. -Dale Berra, son of Yogi


-- and a recent favourite that I came across yesterday or so.
"You are a very redundant person, that's what kind of person you are."

"[Reason tells me of the] extreme difficulty or rather impossibility of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe, including man with his capability of looking backwards and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity. When thus refelecting I feel compelled to look to a First Cause having an intelligent mind in some degree analogous to that of man; and I deserve to be called a Theist." --
Charles Darwin
