OT - quotes

[Puke]

I have seen some good quotes in sigs both here and in other places, and i have run across catchy things that ought to be shared, but just were not as symbolically apropriate as my bastardized theft of the description of the ancient god I use in my current sig.

here are a few i thought were worthy, feel free to post your own.
