the quotation thing currently going around

I am not going to limit it to 5, or to the quotation site suggested.



I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
E. B. White (1899 - 1985)

No matter how advanced your camera you still need to be responsible for getting it to the right place at the right time and pointing it in the right direction to get the photo you want.
Ken Rockwell, Your Camera Does Not Matter, 2005

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
Richard Feynman (1918 - 1988)

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right? [not entirely true of me, but interesting]
Charles M. Schulz
(1922 - 2000)

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642)

Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in life.
Jean Paul Richter

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.
Mitch Hedberg (1968 - 2005)

I base my fashion taste on what doesn't itch. — Gilda Radner [add loose-fitting to that]

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep in our history and doctrine and remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes which were for the moment unpopular. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of the Republic to abdicate his responsibility.
Edward R. Murrow

In my humdrum life, the daily battle hasn't been good versus evil. It's hardly so epic. Most days, my real battle is doing good versus doing nothing.
Dierdre Sullivan

Wow. Excellent quotes. What was the meme that inspired you to post this?

On several people's sites I've seen the admonition to go to

and pick 5 that represent your views/life.

The last two weren't from the quotations site.
