The Quotable Quotes Thread

[Prince Golden Lotus 166]

So I searched.  And searched.  And searched a bit more.  And I didn't see any thread specifically dedicated to posting quotes.  So here is one right here!

 

So...yeah.  Just post any quotes here that you like, and want the world (or the whole forum) to read. Also, if someone DOES somehow find a thread just like this, no need to cause a hassle, just tell the mods to move this and whatnot.

 

I'll start with a fairly amazing saying.

 

"There’s a code, a system of laws and functions hard wired into all of us. We spend our lives trying to find what lies within this code of our very being, trying to define ourselves, but there’s always something left to find. There are mysteries inside our own minds. There are secrets we have yet to uncover. Ghosts in the code of our souls."  --Aviators

"If at first you do not succeed, please, tell me what it is like" -Braum

Might need a citation there.

Citation for what? Where it's from, or the validity of the claim the quote makes? Both are inappropriate, as it's just meant to be an inspirational quote; and the message is clear: never give up.
