Welcome, everyone, to the quotes board.

Just to get things started, I'll post a few of my favs:

'Can you sympathize with an exploding star?!'

'We are the universe conscious of itself'


And a quote by Nietzche that I love:

'Oh, how tired I am of insufficiency!'

My best,

Here's one I've always liked from Herman Melville:

"Great God I ask thee for no meaner pelf*
 Than that I might not disappoint myself."

*worldly benefit, riches

'Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me'

Freddie Mercury

The Bible teaches us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go. ----> Galileo during his trial

Have you heard the recent Flaming Lips version (available from iTunes for 79 UK pence)? I think the guitars were on drugs, but it sounds great.

I would love to hear any version of that song. Except I don't even know what 'flaming lips' means. Anything to do with The Rolling Stones' famous, ever-present (in their paraphanelia) fat lips smile ?
