Post your favorite quote or maxim.

This forum community has become very popular indeed. And as I am to know a little about humanity, I'm sure that people suffer from depression, seperation, or any other everyday problem. Pick your favorite maxim (philosophy), quote (Pink Floyd or someone meaningful to you), or come up with your own, so that people seeking answers and don't have anywhere to turn can find a little golden nugget of hope.
Cheers,

Heres a few ODD quotes:

-"A person who thinks he/she knows life's meaning,has no idea at all".

-"Signs of weakness in a human mind mean that this individual is strong,for those who have no feelings,can never enjoy happiness".

-"Its been said that people learn all the time,but in fact,it's all about human's adaptation to the environment,learning is a part of it".

The next one is a classic!

Hi Feenix, I love Finland btw
And I love your signature !

Well Lost For Words is under-rated (all Waters fans tend to hate this to the core of the earth).I like all Pink Floyd music except Ummagumma studio and Piper.

And of course,greetings to Moscow,Russia! Hailz to the "big brother".

An album was dedicated in this way: "To all those brave enough to face their past". It seems very simple at first, but when you really reflect on what that takes, and how you do that, it turns into a LOT more...

There are many others...but I can't think of them all right now, so I just put the one that has been the most meaningful to me personally.

I always liked the "Desiderada":

This hold true. I know by experience.


Thorin: ...um... nice duck.

Oh, my goodness, Euphen...

Is there any way you could just cut that down to a small section? That is a terrible drain on those of us who have lower bandwidth...

F-W, as moderator, will you please pull the plug on the moron? Thanks.

Done, Strat.

I felt bad about doing it after trying to give the person fair warning, but I realised that the delay on this thread was just absurd. You were right.
