- "The half-life of not getting the point is forever." - Stanley Kubrick
- "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." - Macbeth by William Shakespeare
- "There's no simple explanation for anything important any of us do / the human tragedy consists in the necessity of living / with the consequences" - 'Courage', by Gordon Downie of the Tragically Hip
- "I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." -Isaac Newton
- "The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said." -Peter F. Drucker

- "Many an opportunity is lost because a man is out looking for four-leaf clovers." - Anonomous
- Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.
- The creature who answered the door was about three years old, redheaded, and quite possibly feral. It was probably female, although the knee-length jumper and giant fedora made its gender impossible to determine. It was clutching a box of chocolate cereal as if its life depended on it. - A brilliant nameless author
- Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
- Mistrust all enterprises that require new clothes.
- The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!), but "that's funny..." --Isaac Asimov

- An archaeologist is the best husband any woman can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her.
--Agatha Christie
- I do note with interest that old women in my books become young women on the covers... this is discrimination against the chronologically gifted. -Terry Pratchett
- It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man.

- Chocolate is a psychoactive food. It is made from the seeds of the tropical cacao tree, Theobroma cacao. The cacao tree was named by the 17th century Swedish naturalist, Linnaeus. The Greek term theobroma means literally food of the gods. Chocolate has also been called the food of the devil; but the theological basis of this claim is obscure.
- What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?
- "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
-Dr. Seuss
- "When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country." --- Elayne Boosler
