The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present.

To exist is equivalent to an act of faith, a protest against the truth, an interminable prayer ... As soon as they consent to live, the unbeliever and the man of faith are fundamentally the same, since both have made the only decision that defines a being. . . . If you have not resolved to kill yourself, there is no different between you and the others, you belong to the faction of the living, all--no matter what their convictions--great believers. Do you deign to breathe? You are approaching sainthood, you deserve canonization... - Emil Cioran

I dunno about a numerical rating but it's certainly worth watching at least once for the hilariousness of Sean Connery and bad old cult sci fi.

there was a very cool one i saw in someone's sig a long time ago about how man should not think of himself as anything less than a god, i'd really like to know the whole quote if anyone knows it!
-------------------- everything i post is entirely fictional "and then one day you find 10 years have got behind you no one told you when to run...you missed the starting gun" "for long you live and high you fly, but only if you ride the tide, balanced on the biggest wave you race towards an early grave"
