What is your Favorite Quote?

Hey everyone. It seem's this is the place to post anything we want (within reason) so I thought I would start a thread to find out what your favorite quotes are. I'll start with one of mine (though I have loads more):

People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger. Afraid to know what lies behind the stare.

Well the first one that came to mind is:

"Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice"

But then Groucho came to my rescue:
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend -- inside of a dog, it is too dark to read"

“Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well
preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,
chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming
“WOO HOO what a ride!”
