Post your favorite insightful quotes~

We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Isn't imagination just making new stuff by mixing knowledge you already have?
Also, I do not agree that knowledge is limited. I actually believe imagination is limited by knowledge.

Bruce Lee wrote:

Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, and it can crash. Be water, my friend...

There is no greater sorrow than to remember a moment of happiness, in misery.
Nobody wants to die, but everyone gets to.

Carl Sagan wrote:

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe:, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

Mark Twain wrote:

"The secret source of humor itself is not joy, but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven."

“I cry a lot. My emotions are very close to my surface. I don't want to hold anything in so it festers and turns into pus - a pustule of emotion that explodes into a festering cesspool of depression.”

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
Just because they can't express themselves doesn't mean that they don't suffer, but at the same time, we could say that a human screaming in pain is just a fancy way of protecting his life by making us feel like we do.

Also wanted to show this picture about the abortion debates which is slightly related to that quote i guess
