"We know what we are, but not what we may be."
William Shakespeare
Fav quote?...That's a tricky one since a lot of ppl have several fav quotes.
:-)
One of my all time favs is the short speech by Macbeth "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow..." in Macbeth.

See my sig.
"In 1981, I was walking Saint-Denis Street, there I meet a superb prostitute, I ask her name - Socialism. I go up to the room with her, and I realise it's a foul transsexual! He then tells me - take me by the communism!"
-Serge Gainsbourg, translated and slightly adapted by myself

"Better to light a candle than curse the darkness"
Hmm? What is the source of this quote? No dialogue between Plato and Aristotle have come down to us, a quick research on the web led me to no result for such a quote... my guess it's that it's very apocryphal :pQuote:
