Fun thread--favorite quotes

Just for the fun of it, I thought it might be interesting to share some of our favorite quotations, be they from the world of literature, politics, whatever. We might offer commentary on their meaning to us, or not. Or we might comment on someone else's selections.

I'll start the ball rolling: From Kurt Vonnegut: "We are what we pretend to be, so be very careful what you pretend to be."

To me, this seems particularly relevant on an Internet forum, where some people assume all sorts of poses. It reminds me of a cartoon I saw a few years back. Two dogs are sitting at adjoining computers. One dog turns to the other and says: "This is great! We can be anybody on this thing!"

Bring on more.
