not sure if any of these were used previously, but here are my favorite:
"I say that it is the greatest good for a man to discuss virtue every day and those other things about which you hear me conversing and testing myself and others, for the unexamined life is not worth living for man" - Socrates
"Religion is opium to the people" - Karl Marx
"Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness" - Chuang-Tzu
"Think for yourself. Question authority. Through out human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing, fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos. [It] has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who have attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations. Informing, forming in our minds, their views of reality. To think for yourself, you must question authority, and learn how to put yourself in a state of vunerable, open mindedness, chaotic, confused, vunerabilty to inform yourself. Think for yourself. Question authority." - Beggining of Third Eye, by Tool. Off of Salival (I think that's Timothy Leary (is that the right name?))
"You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don't think drugs have done some good things for us, go home and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn them. You know what? The musicans who made all that great music that has inhanced your lives through out the years, [we're] real fucking high on drugs." --- "Today a young man on Acid realized that all matter is really energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we all are one concisousness and are expirencing ourselves subjectivly, there is no such thing as death, Life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather." - Beggining of Third Eye, by Tool. Off of Ænima.
