I have a few to bring to the thread...from those of varying infamy.
Quote:
When others asked the truth of me, I was convinced it was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with.
Quote:
I see myself wrapped in lies, which do not seem to penetrate my soul, as if they are not really a part of me. They are like costumes.
- Anais Nin.
Quote:
There is no truth.
There is only you and what you make the truth.
- Bright Eyes.
Quote:
What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me? Into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better, because if the scanner sees only darkly the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again.
- Phillip. K. Dick
Quote:
being 'sober' is not 'your real self'
- Noteworthy.
hm...you think there is a theme here?

It's Rene Descartes from his book Meditations. Cogito Ergo Sum is better translated as "Consciousness therefore existence," though.

I dont think so, learningtofly.
cogito = 'i think'
egro = 'therefor'
sum = 'i am'
i think 'consciousness therefor existance' would be more like
Cogitare ergo esse

The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not.
- Eric Hoffer
In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
- Eric Hoffer
A war is not won if the defeated enemy has not been turned into a friend.
- Eric Hoffer
The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity.
- John Adams
The question before the human race is, whether the God of nature shall govern the world by his own laws, or whether priests and kings shall rule it by fictitious miracles.
- John Adams
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
- Francois Marie Arouet "Voltaire"
Faith is a cop-out. It is intellectual bankruptcy. If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits.
- Dan Barker, author and former evangelist
They came with a Bible and their religion- stole our land, crushed our spirit... and now tell us we should be thankful to the 'Lord' for being saved.
- Chief Pontiac, American Indian
I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment, to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure.
- Clarence Darrow
The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us, and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic.
- Charles Robert Darwin
Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise.
- James Madison
Theology: The effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing.
- H. L. Mencken
It is fear that first brought Gods into the world.
- Gallus Petronius, 1st Century Roman courtier
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.
- George Bernard Shaw
Truth in matters of religion is simply the opinion that has survived.
- Oscar Wilde
I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
- Frank Lloyd Wright, American architect
--------------------
And as things fell apart,
Nobody paid much attention...
- David Byrne, '(Nothing But) Flowers' from the Talking Heads' album, 'Naked'

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy;
For what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves;
We must die to one life before we can enter another.

Here's one, the ebay result at the top of this page. "Delicious Bacon".
--------------------
"So man's insanity is heaven's sense; and wandering from all mortal reason, man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, indifferent as his God." - Herman Melville
