quotes for now

[Andy Hamilton]

Sometimes you come across a quote that hits you with amazing clarity and works for that moment. Earlier this year this one hit me

Grief teaches the steadiest minds to waver.
Sophocles (496 BC - 406 BC),

and then this one hit the mark for right now

The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.

but the one I still love the most sits on my signature and is there because I loved the young ones when it was first aired in the 1980's and identified a little with neil.

Andy, love the Young Ones, that is one of my favorite quotes as well. For a long time on my answering machine I had "Open up it's the pigs" also by Neil.

There is also this one, one of my favorites:
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
— Robert A. Heinlein

And of course, just about anything by Douglas Adams:
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
-Douglas Adams
