Inspired by a thread I saw on Reddit, I decided I'd like to see what quotes that you CAGs find epic, hilarious, personally relevant, deep or thought-provoking. Although I have a ton, I'll start with one that never seems to show up on any sort of quote lists but I really love.

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams" - Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory)
 
[quote name='KaneRobot']"Those who trumpet their suffering are usually most deserving of agony." -Oderus Urungus[/QUOTE]

My favorite Greek Philosopher.
 
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. ~ T. Roosevelt

That's actually O'Shaughnessy, but I became familiar with it through Willy Wonka, as well. ;)

"The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind." - H.P. Lovecraft
 
"Rather than setting out to paint something, I begin painting and as I paint, the picture begins to assert itself. . . . The first stage is free, unconscious.The second stage is carefully calculated." - Joan Miró

One of my favorite art quotes.

9 Things I Hate About Everyone

1. People who point at their wrist asking for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their a** to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn Right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film, "did ya see that?" No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor!

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"... Didn't give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell??? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!!! What can you do thats longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came, would I be standing here???
 
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."

That and anything Mark Twain has ever said.
 
"It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of a memory." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
 
This isn't an official quote, but I found it in some person's profile for an online game I play:

"you can get infamous, but you can't get un-famous" Dave Chappelle

"if you are going through hell, keep going" Winston Churchill
 
i dont even know why.. but here it is:

"Sometimes the truth isn't good enough
Sometimes people deserve more
Sometimes people deserve their faith rewarded" - Nolan's The Dark Knight, Batman

It just stuck i guess.
