i never remember quotes, but i used to have a text file for them (destroyed in the crasch though)
but i found this one from my journal:
"As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skilled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will serve his purpose."
Bhagavad Gita

Lee: I loved that quote of yours. Sounds like a great philosopher, that guy! :)
The one that has been going through my mind these days, is an old quote from those long ago days when we'd go banner-marching and nuclear-bashing.
"One nuclear bomb can spoil your whole day".

I have two eternal favorites:
"Remember, wherever you go, there you are" from the movie "Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension"
and
"Bored Now" from season....4, I think, of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". True BtVS fans will understand this!
