"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. // What counts is not the best living but the most living. // Integrity has no need of rules. // One must imagine Sisyphus happy." - Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus
"[T]he notion that man has a body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; this I shall do by printing in the infernal method, by corrosives, [...] , melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hid. // If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. // For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern." Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

Churchill's the shit, hands down. My favorite is, in response to a woman saying "Mr.Prime minister!! Your drunk in the afternoon!!" Churchill says....... "Ah yes but, since I am merely drunk, I'm sure to be sober in the morning. On the other hand, you my dear, shall be ugly forever."
My other favorites are....
"GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!! AND TAKE YO'SILLY LITTLE BITCH WITH YOU!!!" -Miles Davis
"Here I come baby. I'm commin' to fuck you in the ass!!" -Jimi Hendrix

And this is probably my favorite...
"I want to write about people I love, and put them into fictional worlds spun out of my own mind, not the world we actually have, because the world we actually have does not meet my standards. Okay, so I should revise my standards; I'm out of step. I should yield to reality. I have never yielded to reality. That's what Science Fiction is all about. If you wish to yield to reality, go read Philip Roth; read the New York literary establishment mainstream bestselling writers….This is why I love SF. I love to read it; I love to write it. The SF writer sees not just possibilities but wild possibilities. It's not just 'What if' - it's 'My God; what if' - in frenzy and hysteria. The Martians are always coming."
-- Philip K. Dick
