Hva er ditt favoritt-sitat?

[Timeo]

Mange har et sitat - altså en setning som noen har sagt om noe - som de synes er ekstra klokt og lurt, og som på mange måter definerer den man er, eller understreker et synspunkt man har i livet om som føles veldig viktig.

 

Har du noen visdomsord som du tenker ofte på og/eller som betyr mye for deg?

[Karl-Peder]

Abraham Lincoln sa en gang at "det er bedre å holde kjeften lukket og bli mistenkt for å være en idiot, enn å åpne den og dermed fjerne all tvil" eller noe liknende. Det er en fin leveregel.

[Samuro]

"Alt du liker idag, har du en gang smakt for første gang"

 

"Assumptions is the mother of all fuckups!"

[Sadfez]

Fuck me if I am wrong, men var det i dag vi skulle ha sex?

 

Fra spøk til kniv i øret. Har egentlig mange jeg liker, en av toppene er den som Karl-Peder skrev. "Det er bedre å holde kjeft og la folk tro du er dum, enn å snakke og fjerne en hver tvil."

 

"A drunken mans words are a sober mans thoughts"

"Den som først griper til vold, viser at han ikke har flere argumenter."

Alt som står i Bibelen er mine favorittsitater. Vanskelig å velge blant Guds ord

[The Grand Vizier]

Oi, sorry. Glemte et av sitatene jeg ville ha med. Dette har delt førsteplass med det andre.

 

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." - Richard Dawkins

edit:

har et annet som kanskje ikke er et sitat, men en omskrivelse av et kjent vers:

 

Friheten vår

Siviliserte samfunn, dyrkere av kapitalismen!

La den frie handelen holdes hellig,

La progresjonen komme,

La respekten for individene overstyre statlig tvang, despotisme og flertallets tyranni.

Selg oss i dag det daglige brød som er fremskaffet gjennom effektiv arbeidsdeling og fri handel,

og fremelsk vår egoisme, som vi og fremelsker toleranse for annerledes tenkende,

og led oss ikke til bruk av fysisk makt og svindel,

men fri oss fra de sosialistiske vrangforestillinger.

For friheten er vår, og eiendomsretten over egne liv i all evighet!

Laissez-faire.

- Thomas M. Johanson, høsten 1997
