The world's full of lonely people afraid to make the first move. - Tony Lip. Green Book (2018)

Do not remain nameless to yourself - it is too sad a way to be. Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naive ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher's ideals are. - Richard Feynman

The way I see it, there's two types of people: Those who spend their lives trying to build a future, and those who spend their lives trying to re-build the past. For too long I had been stuck in between, hidden in the dark. - Max Payne

I was walking by a dry cleaner at 3 a.m., and the sign said "Sorry, we're closed." You don't have to be sorry. It's 3 a.m., and you're a dry cleaner. It would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open. I'm not gonna walk in at 10 and say "Hey man, I walked by at 3, you guys were closed. Somebody owes me an apology. - Mitch Hedberg.

Question: When did the Pilgrims land at Plymouth Rock?

Calvin: 1620. As you can see, I've memorized this utterly useless fact long enough to pass a test question. I now intend to forget it forever. You've taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system. Congratulations.

The worthwhile problems are the ones you can really solve or help solve, the ones you can really contribute something to. ...No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it. - Richard Feynman

Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN! - Cave Johnson from Portal 2

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation...Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman 
The pleasure of Finding Things Out: The best short works of Richard Feynman, P.186-187.

The more you think about things, the weirder they seem. Take this milk. Why do we drink cow milk? Who was the guy who first looked at a cow and said, "I think I'll drink whatever comes out of these things when I squeeze 'em!"?

He looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you're 18--Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school? High school - those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that. - Frank, from Little Miss Sunshine.

I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don't know anything about... But I don't have to know an answer, I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn't frighten me. - Richard Feynman

It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you don't stop. - Attributed to Confucius

I think Smithers picked me because of my motivational skills. Everyone says they have to work a lot harder when I'm around. - Homer Simpson. Season 7, episode 17: "Homer the Smithers".

I saw this commercial on late night TV, it was for this thing you attach to a garden hose, it was like "You can water your hard-to-reach plants with this product." Who the fuck would make their plants hard to reach? That seems so very mean. "I know you need water, but I'm gonna make you hard to reach! I will throw water at you. Hopefully they will invent a product before you shrivel and die! Think like a cactus!" So it said, "You can have this product for four easy payments of 19.95." I would like to have a product that was available for three easy payments, and one fuckin' complicated payment! We ain't gonna tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is gonna be a bitch. The mailman will get shot to death, the envelope will not seal, and the stamp will be in the wrong denomination; good luck, fucker! - Mitch Hedberg. Mitch All Together, track 11 "Three Easy Payments".
