Quotes that describe you

"What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it."
This one seems to fit me best. Unfortunately I cannot remember the author.

Albert Einstein wrote:A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
I guess there is better ones, but I like this one. :)

I think I'd be quite well described by murphys laws
If anything can go wrong, it will
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong
If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway
If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop

Chuck Norris can make a woman climax by simply pointing at her and saying "booya".
Same goes for me.

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

- Bertrand Arthur William Russell
That is so true - of everyone else...;)

Nicolo Machiavelli (in The Prince) wrote:One has to remark that men ought either to be well treated or crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter injuries, of more serious ones they cannot; therefore the injury that is to be done to a man ought to be of such a kind that one does not stand in fear of revenge
Okay... So I'm harsh. :lol:

Another good one:
Charles Babbage (1791-1871) wrote:On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
