I actually like to collect quotes when I come across interesting ones that I see. In fact, I collected a lot from this thread alone. Here are some of my other favourites (note, if I say Anonymous, it's only because I couldn't find the source of the quote). I saved all these for much later in the thread so I could give everyone else an opportunity to say their quotes before I dumped all of mine:
