Life is too complex sometimes. However, on some
occasions, a poet or author is able to encapsulate
much of a certain aspect, feeling, or period
in life into a few simple words. And when you
read those words, you're like.. yea, that's it.
That's exactly how it is.

Here's one of my favorite ones:

A joy shared is a joy doubled.
A misery shared is a misery halved.

My favorite would have to be this (I got my name from this quote):

##Habitation Dome
#FAC25
^ I sit in my cubicle, here on the mother world.
^ When I die, they will put my body in a box and
^ dispose of it in the cold ground.
^ And in all the million ages to come, I will never
^ breathe or laugh or twitch again.
^ So won't you run and play with me here among the
^ teeming mass of humanity?
^ The universe has spared us this moment.
^
^ -- Anonymous, Datalinks

I actually have a few, but my favorite is:
If you don't have the best, make the best out of what you have.

What the!?!?!?!?

I swear I have never been to your site, Kami. And I distinctly remember writing the quote from David Bowie song and the quotes from the Matix by hand (I remember this because I got them wrong and remember correcting them after listening to the song/watching the movie again).

I am not BSing!!

You had to have gotten some of those from me. I would almost believe you except for the quote by Kansas, from their song &quot;dust in the wind.&quot;

That is my favorite song. I remember trying to write it down like it sounded, hence the &quot;...'s&quot; and the &quot;;&quot; that are in quote. I distinctly remember doing that. When I started this document of quotes I believe I wrote the first page off the top of my head on a whim, and maybe even a more than the first page. I also did do alot of copy/paste from websites, but I have never been to your website and am sure that most of the quotes on the first page were written off the top of my head, or right after listening to them (the changes quote and the Matix ones, for instance)

<< &quot;The more I know about people, the better I like my dog.&quot;
- Mark Twain
>>

Is also one of my favourites.

&quot;One cannot be betrayed if one has no people&quot; - The usual suspects, later sampled in a track called Acidosis.

&quot;If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ask someone else first&quot; - Nirvana, Very Ape (track 7, En Utero).

Those are few of my favourites, though I have alot
