    My favorite quote was in response to this one:

    "How can you run for Senate when you've never held a 'job'?"-Sen. Metzenbaum

    Now here is my favorite quote of all time:

    "I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I was through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my checkbook, it was my life that was on the line. This was not a 9-to-5 job where I took time off to take the daily cash receipts to the bank. I ask you to go with me, as I went the other day to a Veterans Hospital, and look those men with their mangled bodies in the eye and tell them they didn't hold a job. You go with me to any Gold Star mother, and you look her in the eye and tell her that her son did not hold a job. You go with me to the space program, and you go as I have gone to the widows and the orphans of Ed White and Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee, and you look those kids in the eye and tell them that their dad didn't hold a job. You go with me on Memorial Day coming up, and you stand on Arlington National Cemetery -- where I have more friends than I like to remember -- and you watch those waving flags, and you stand there, and you think about this nation, and you tell me that those people didn't have a job. I tell you, Howard Metzenbaum, you should be on your knees every day of your life thanking God that there were some men -- SOME MEN -- who held a job. And they required a dedication to purpose and a love of country and a dedication to duty that was more important than life itself. And their self-sacrifice is what has made this country possible.
    I HAVE HELD A JOB, HOWARD!" - - John Glenn

    "You don't have to live forever, you just have to LIVE."
    "I'd rather see the world from a different angle..."
    So simplistic, but so beautiful too.

    I've got several... most of them are lyrics... so here are a few quotes and the lyrics of Sail to the Moon.

    Chez ces gens-la, monsieur, on ne pense pas, on prie (those people don't think, they just take) - Jacques Brel (Ces gens-la)

    Our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance, where nobody leads at all. - Dashboard Confessional

    Philosophers are people who spend all their time thinking about the purpose of human life. Well, I don't know what the purpose of human life is, but I don't think it includes thinking about it all the time. - Theo Maassen (Dutch comedian)

    Character without knowledge is often more succesful than knowledge without character. - Cicero

    I sucked the moon
    i spoke to soon
    And how much did it cost?

    I was dropped from
    moonbeams
    and sailed on shooting stars

    Maybey you'll be president
    But know right from wrong
    or in the flood you'll build an Ark

    And sail us to the moon
    - Radiohead

    From Parabola, by Tool:

    This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
    Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
    All this pain is an illusion.
