Recently I've had a phase with reading up quotes on different sites. Whether they are cool, funny, inspirational, or your favourite i think we'd all be interested to know. I thought I'd open this up to the CP public. Feel free to share!
"It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights so very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory."
"Somebody shut that c***'s mouth before I come over there and f***start her head."
-Ryan Phillippe

Everyone knows scientists insist on using complex terminology to make it harder for True Christians to refute their claims.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid, for example... sounds impressive, right? But have you ever seen what happens if you put something in acid? It dissolves! If we had all this acid in our cells, we'd all dissolve! So much for the Theory of Evolution, Check MATE!
I guess this one's more of a proverb or saying than a quote but it made me laugh.
I heard it hear in Japan.
"Baka wa shinanakya naoranai"
Which basically means, "An idiot cannot be fixed until he dies."
And a movie quote:
"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
Hunter S. Thompson (Raoul Duke) - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Following User Says Thank You to fanman For This Useful Post:
"Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest mother####er in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.
Hiro used to feel this way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this was liberating. He no longer has to worry about being the baddest mother####er in the world. The position is taken."
