Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed.
-Carl Sandburg
-Carl Sandburg
Primitive man, terrified by the phenomena which harried him, had necessarily to believe that a sublime being unknown to him had the direction of their operation and influence; it is native to weakness to suppose strength and to fear it; the human mind, then too much in its infancy to explore, to discover in Nature's depths the laws of motion, the unique springs of the entire mechanism that struck him with awe, found it simpler to fancy a motor in this Nature than to view Nature as her own mover, and without considering that he would have to go to much more trouble to edify, to define this gigantic master, than through the study of Nature to find the cause of what amazed him, he acknowledged this sovereign being, he elaborated rituals to worship it: from this moment each nation composed itself an overlord in conformance with its peculiar characteristics, its knowledge, and its climate; soon there were as many religions on earth as races and peoples and not long after, as many Gods as families; nevertheless, behind all these idols it was easy to recognize the same absurd illusion, first fruit of human blindness. They appareled it differently, but it was always the same thing. Well, tell me, Therese, merely because these idiots talk drivel about the erection of a wretched chimera and about the mode of serving him, must it follow that an intelligent man has got to renounce the certain and present happiness of life; like Aesop's dog, must he abandon the bone for the shadow and renounce his real joys for hallucinations? No, Therese, no, there is no God, Nature sufficeth unto herself; in no wise hath she need of an author; once supposed, that author is naught but a decayed version of herself, is merely what we describe in school by the phrase, a begging of the question. A God predicates a creation, that is to say, an instant when there was nothing, or an instant when all was in chaos. If one or the other of these states was evil, why did your God allow it to subsist? Was it good ? Then why did he change it ? But if all is now good at last, your God has nothing left to do; well, if he is useless, how can he be powerful? And if he is not powerful, how can he be God? If, in a word, Nature moves herself, what do we want with a motor? and if the motor acts upon matter by causing it to move, how is it not itself material? Can you conceive the effect of the mind upon matter and matter receiving motion from the mind which itself has no movement? Examine for one cold-blooded instant all the ridiculous and contradictory qualities wherewith the fabricators of this execrable chimera have been obliged to clothe him; verify for your own self how they contradict one another, annul one another, and you will recognize that this deific phantom, engendered by the fear of some and the ignorance of all, is nothing but a loathsome platitude which merits from us neither an instant of faith nor a minute's examination; a pitiable extravagance, disgusting to the mind, revolting to the heart, which ought never to have issued from the darkness save to plunge back into it, forever to be drowned. -Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade in 'Justine or The Misfortunes of Virtue'

And now, some quotes from M*A*S*H
Colonel Potter:"It's too big a world to be in competition with everybody. The only person I'm out to beat is who I am right now."
Frank:"What are you doing there?!"
Hawkeye: "I just wanted to borrow your Bible, Frank."
Frank: "Since when are you interested in the Bible?"
Trapper: "Don't bother, I peeked at the end. The Devil did it."
General Barker: "What are you doing, Corporal?"
Radar: "Doing, sir?"
Barker: "D-O-I-N-G! What are you doing?"
Radar: "I'm listening to you spell "doing", sir."
Hawkeye: "Three hours ago, this man was in a battle. Two hours ago we operated on him. He's got a fifty-fifty chance. We win some, we lose some. That's what it's all about... no promises, no guaranteed survival... no 'saints in surgical garb.' Our willingness, our experience, our technique are not enough. Guns and bombs and anti-personnel mines have more power to take life than we have to preserve it. Not a very happy ending to a movie. But then again, no war is a movie."
Radar: "They aren't gonna like this sir."
Frank: "I didn't come here to be liked."
Radar: "You certainly came to the right place."
Radar (referring to a book Hawkeye is holding): "War AND Peace?"
Trapper: "Well, Tolstoy was very flexible. He went either way."
Henry: "Look, all I know is what they taught me at command school. There are certain rules about a war. Rule number one is young men die. And rule number two is doctors can't change rule number one."
General Clayton (over the phone): "Henry, are you sitting down?"
Henry (stands up): "No, sir."
Clayton: "Maybe you better."
Henry (sits down): "Yes, sir."
Hawkeye: "Is he giving you calisthetics over the phone?"
Henry: "You were ordered to stand down!"
Hawkeye: "I did, but I fell up again."
Hawkeye: "Nurse you're out of uniform!"
Nurse: "Where?"
Hawkeye: "How about my tent in five minutes?"
Trapper: "I guess he's just unstable. You see, he took this weird oath as a young man, never to just stand by and watch people die."
Hawkeye: "Frank, do you know what a hero is? Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, he's somebody who's tired enough and cold enough and hungry enough not to give a damn. I don't give a damn."
Houlihan (slurred): "I'm not so think as you drunk I am."
Henry: "Don't tell me. I don't want to know about it. You guys have my full permission, and I never said that. I mean, I'm not even here, so how could I? Radar!"
Radar: "Sir?"
Henry: "Make an entry in the daily report that I wasn't here today, and bring it to me so I can sign it."
Radar: "Uh, sir, if you sign it, it'll show you were here."
Henry: "Then you sign it for me."
Radar: "Yes, sir. Should I sign your name?"
Henry: "You'll have to, because I'm gonna say it was a forgery."
Trapper (listening to Radar play the piano): "Hey Radar, don't you know another song?"
Hawkeye: "He doesn't even know THAT one."
Henry: "According to Regimental Headquarters, the fighting shifted to the north and we won't be getting any casualties."
Hawkeye: "That's the same Regimental Headquarters that said to Custer, 'One last stand and then you can go home.'"
Frank: "The man is not normal!"
Hawkeye: "What's normal, Frank?"
Frank: "Normal is everybody doing the same thing."
Trapper: "What about individuality?"
Frank: "Well, individuality is fine... As long as we all do it together."
General Steele (to Father Mulcahy in formation): There are no Atheists in foxholes!
Father Mulcahy: Yes I've heard that.
Hawkeye: "I will not carry a gun, Frank. When I got thrown into this war I had a clear understanding with the Pentagon: no guns. I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune, I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-kari' if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!"
Hawkeye: "I'm not sleeping, I'm inspecting the inside of my eyelids."
Colonel Wortman (sees Radar's teddy bear): "Is that a teddy bear!?"
Radar: "Uh yes, sir. Regulations against having the real kind."
Hawkeye: "I just don?t know why they?re shooting at us. All we want to do is bring them democracy and white bread. Transplant the American dream. Freedom. Achievement. Hyperacidity. Affluence. Flatulence. Technology. Tension. The inalienable right to an early coronary sitting at your desk while plotting to stab your boss in the back."
Henry (about Radar's tattoo): "Radar, getting one of those is very unsanitary."
Radar: "Oh, I washed my hands first, sir."
Sidney: "Captain, is it true that God answers all prayers?"
Chandler: "Yes. Sometimes the answer is no."
Mulcahy: "Who's Walter?"
Radar: "Oh, that's my given name."
Hawkeye: "Give it back."
Colonel Coner: "Our losses were insignificant."
Hawkeye: "How many kids in an insignificant?"
Hawkeye: "A war is like when it rains in New York and everybody crowds into doorways, ya know? And they all get chummy together. Perfect strangers. The only difference, of course, is in a war it's also raining on the other side of the street, and the people who are chummy over there are trying to kill the people who are over here who are chums."
BJ (Talking about Frank): "Can't you do something?"
Potter: "Like sit him down and have a talk with him?"
Hawkeye: "No, like stand him up and have him shot."
Potter: "Don't be absurd. There'd be an inquiry."
Charles: "Must you always spout scripture, Father?"
Father Mulcahy: "I'm afraid it's an occupational hazard."
Father Mulcahy: "We've got a villager whose house collapsed around him and a young boy who chased his frightened livestock into a minefield."
Margaret: "Dear God."
Mulcahy: "He's been alerted."
Potter (it's cold): "You don't think this is the proverbial 'hell freezing over' do you, Father?"
Mulcahy: "Oh, no, no. I'm sure I'd have been informed if anything that big were on the agenda."
Mulcahy: "Just as the Lord said to Noah, "Everything in pairs.""
Hawkeye: "Of course the Lord was holding three aces at the time."
Potter: "When you're wearing a green tuxedo, you dance where they tell you."
Charles: "That rapier-like wit! I've seen snappier comebacks from a bowl of Rice Krispies!"
Klinger: "Oh, first I'm a plant; now, I'm breakfast food! What next?!"
Charles: "Well, you're crude and unrefined...how about petroleum?"
Okay that's definately enough, we're getting into the later seasons now anyway so it's not that good after this point.

I have to throw some more Watchmen quotes in here. So here are some Doc Manhattan ones!
"There is no future. There is no past. Do you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet."
"A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?"
"I've walked across the sun. I've seen events so tiny and so fast they hardly can be said have occurred at all, but you... you are a man. And this world's smartest man means no more to me than does its smartest termite."
"I'm tired of looking at the photograph now. I open my fingers. It falls to the sand at my feet. I am going to look at the stars. They are so far away, and their light takes so long to reach us... all we ever see of stars are their old photographs."
Pure brilliance.
A lot of good quotes here ^^
