Baby Got Quotes

i like big quotes and i can not lie; you other brothers can't deny; that when the words float in with all that taste; puts a smile right on your face; you get sprung...

alright, i'm being silly, but i did want to share some quotes and tidbits; however, for fun, i am not going to directly attribute them to their authors. not becuase they don't deserve the credit, they most certainly do, but because it's more fun to track them down and learn as you go. well, for those so inclined. i assure at least one of these quotes comes from a source that most would be surprised to hear me quoting.

We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.

But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize. Their heart's desire, their dream... But the price of getting what you want is getting what you once wanted.

I'll have to track down some of the others, especially that one about "afflicts the human race with ideas"
