"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Is one of my favorite quotes/poems, next to the one in my sig.

Also, I'm not really saying stop, just saying these dang daily quotes are annoying because when I scan whats new I always see daily quotes in philosophy. So I don't know if any new topics came up. Sure its just a click away but I'm lazy man!

Your next quote (I challenge thee!) should have something to do with laziness.
