Bruce Lee: You know what I want to think of myself? As a human being. because, I mean I don't want to be like "As Confucius say," but under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family. It just so happens that people are different
When you're talking about fighting, as it is, with no rules, well then, baby you'd better train every part of your body!
Boards don't hit back
A good martial artist does not become tense but ready. Not thinking yet not dreaming, ready for whatever may come. A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and face the consequences of his own doing. To have no technique, there is no opponent, because the word "I" does not exist. When the opponent expands I contract and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, "I" do not hit, "It" hits all by itself.
Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it
Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier; it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion

Do you mean "thank you kindly"?phoenix352 said:"would you kindly?"
But yeah:
"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here."
- Richard Dawkins
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour."
- William Blake
"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
- The character of Tyler Durden in Fight Club (1999)
"Even beauties can be unattractive. If you catch a beauty in the wrong light at the right time, forget it. I believe in low lights and trick mirrors. I believe in plastic surgery."
- Andy Warhol
"It isn't enough that a movie be campy and mediocre. It must show incomparably flawed craftsmanship in every detail. It must be so stupefyingly artless that it IS ART, albeit of the most accidental kind."
- Jeff Sconce on the Cult of "Bad" cinema
"For me, the interesting relationship is the one between Mario and Bowser; I mean on some days they fight to the death in fiery climactic showdowns, while on other days they go go-karting together, play tennis, even team up in some of the RPGs. Sure, he kidnaps the Princess a whole bunch, but no one seems to begrudge him for that anymore, it's just what he does. It's like begrudging a dog for licking its own balls."
- Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, Zero Punctuation: Super Mario Galaxy.
"At the end I think that states ought to dissolve because I think they are illegitimate structures. But that's a long time... As long as people, ordinary people are able to free themselves from the doctrinal controls imposed on them by their self-appointed betters and mentors, as long as they're able to do this, they'll continue to be able to struggle for peace and justice and freedom and limitations on violence and constraints on power as they've done for hundreds of years and I don't see any end to that."
- Noam Chomsky

--Rincewind, "Interesting Times"
The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.
--Moving Pictures.
Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote.
Rincewind: I'm not going to ride on a magic carpet! I'm afraid of grounds.
Conina: You mean heights. And stop being silly.
Rincewind: I know what I mean! It's the grounds that kill you!
--Sourcery
Well, 'scuse me. I was jus' tryin' to save the world.
--Gaspode, Moving Pictures
I think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don't know how to do it, and wouldn't be any good at it if I did, so I'm going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be me, of course...
--Terry Pratchett learns Naomi Campbell has "written" a book
You can't remember the plot of the Dr Who movie because it didn't have one, just a lot of plot holes strung together. It did have a lot of flashing lights, though.
--Terry Pratchett
No! Please! I'll tell you whatever you want to know!' the man yelled.
'Really?' said Vimes. 'What's the orbital velocity of the moon?'

Andrew Ryan from Bioshock.
"You humans are always talking about hearts. It?s as if you have them in your hand. But my eye sees everything. Nothing can escape it. What it doesn?t see doesn?t exist. That?s how I?ve always fought. What is a heart? If I rip open your chest, will I find it there? If I crack open your skull, will I find it there?"
Ulquiorra Cifer from Bleach.

"I have a cunning plan.
Well, it'll just have to wait. Whatever it was, I'm sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman round here?"
