Mijn keuze voor beste quote ooit is deze (icm een foto)
Ter verduidelijking, deze foto laat de aarde zien. Er bestaat geen enkele afbeelding van de aarde die verder weg is gemaakt dan deze, ver voorbij pluto.
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

Trouwens, Refragmental, waarom is de aarde wit op die foto? We stralen geen licht uit en de andere planeten zie je ook niet. Is het gewoon wit gemaakt ter verduidelijking?

My mother was a drug addict. When she got pregnant, she took more drugs. She even tried to kill me inside her with a coat hanger, but I survived. I was born blind as a result, but my mother didn't care. She overdosed choking on her own vomit.

).Het is licht dat door de aarde gereflecteerd wordt.
De andere planeten zie je niet op deze foto simpelweg omdat ze er niet op staan.
Op de volgende foto zie je een geheel familie portret. De Planeten staan behoorlijk ver uit elkaar.
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

-Standing here with my loving family,
I wonder why I'm running from the axe.
-Strike!!
*-We're closed and, much like my life, the day is over.
-We all have to live with our disappointments...
I have to sleep with mine.
-Something sinister's going on so I know a woman's behind it
-If you want to have sex, the kids have to leave,
and if you want it to be good, you'll have to leave.
-I was driving home... God knows why?
-The only power I sensed was that of the mighty forces
unleashed by beans.
-Marcy, the part with the cups goes in front.
-A man's home is his coffin.
-I'm gonna give this to the only one I truly love... me!
-The opera isn't over until the last heterosexual falls asleep.
-You go home and tell your daddy you have the mail-man's eyes.
-I'm the only guy in the world who has to wake up
to have a nightmare.
-Ah, home sweet hell.
-I hate my life ... can't eat, can't sleep,
can't bury my wife in the backyard.
-People who work putting shoes on fat women who wear dresses
should not have 20/20 vision.
-Let me explain. It's just like an elevator.
There's a 2 ton weight limit on those shoes...
-Well, I chalked up some more frequent loser miles today.
-Insurance is like marriage.
You pay and pay but you never get anything back.
-The home shopping network! There's a good idea for women! It was a little too hard driving to the mall with a couch strapped to their ass!!!
-You know what I would do if I was President? I'd take a big empty state, that nobody's using, y'know, like Idaho, and I'd pack every pregnant woman in the country into donut trucks, and convoy 'em all to Boise. And since Idaho means nothing anyhow, I'd change the name to Preg-naho.
-Pretty women make us BUY bear. Ugly women make us DRINK beer.
-A fat woman came into the shoe store today.

It really is just like a medieval doctor bleeding his patient, observing that the patient is getting sicker, not better, and deciding that this calls for even more bleeding.

Gelezen op een cd-hoes maar ongetwijfeld van een groter denker.
God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
