i thought it would be fun to have a topic where everybody posts their favorite quotes and sayings and things like that.
heres some to start if off:
"The unexamined life is not worth living" -Socrates.
"To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your own private heart is true for all men - That is genius." -Emerson
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." -Plato
"A brilliant man may answer a question that has plagues us for a thousand years, but it takes a man of vision to ask a question that will plague us for a thousand more." -Me
