Quote of the Day!

Based on a suggestion in this thread, post a quote-of-the-day here!
any kind of quote, hopefully somehow relevant to the Visor, VisorCentral, events or threads on the discussion board, or to yourself.

Some friendly ground rules:
-please post only once per day.
-please turn off signature for clarity.
-repeats are bad form, though acceptable.
-attribution is nice but not required.

and now, to get the ball rolling --


(From Monty Python's Flying Circus, episode 43)
Psychiatrist (Graham Chapman): (picking up a skull) Now do the bit about 'Alas poor Yorick ...'
Hamlet (Terry Jones): No. I'm sick of it! I want to do something else. I want to make something of my life.
Psychiatrist: No. I don't know that bit.

"I'm sorry for all the trouble I have caused so many people. I must admit that I lied to the American people. I did have sex with Lewinsky. I did ask her to lie to the judicial inquiry. I thought I could get away with it. I was wrong. I am sorry."
-William Jefferson Clinton

In its farewell performance...my sig...
"I think the Republicans and Democrats are both just selling us the same bag of sh-t with different colors on it. [...] In the big picture, the Republicans and Democrats don't have a clue. They don't have any intention of solving any of our problems. Their only plan is to get re-elected." - Mojo Nixon

As the Officially Annointed DNRC Quote Chooser (OADNRCQC), I must warn the reader that these quotes are not endorsed as the daily quote, but rather are simply preferred quotes. Official Daily Quotes Shall be posted here, on a sporadic basic (hey, I'm busy, right), though increasingly regular after I get hitched. These quotes shall be exclusively picked from VC members & mods, and will be of the highest quality, just like the OADNRCQC

Being as how, at least in the USA, tomorrow is celebrated as Independence Day, the state motto of New Hampshire comes to mind:

"Live Free or Die!" (exclamation point added)

I also suggest that Yorick, being dead himself

{i am} a dead man miss him MISS HIM MISS HIM
(I'll let someone else try to figure out where that paraphrase came from)

is best suited to choosing quotes that are from dead people (read: non-VC users), whilst you and I are in charge of VC quote choosing,

okay, okay, I'll get off my high horse now.
{wooooahhh!} {crump!} hey! why is there an open grave here?
