I just got "Uncle John's Quintessential Collection of Notable Quotables", and am finding all sorts of great quotes. I'll post some of my favorites, and anyone who has a good one, or two, or 17 can post them too.

And a couple of Feynman classics:
"Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."
"Physics is to Math what Sex is to Masturbation"

My sig has a couple good quotes too.

edit:
This is a random one from one of my 4th year physics profs...
"Why did I slap my forehead? To teach that mosquito a lesson. The ultimate lesson."

What's gone and what's past help
Should be past grief.
Winter's Tale, William Shakespeare

We are the music makers,
We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams -
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
We are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems
Ode, St. 1 Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy

Duty cannot exist without faith.
Benjamin Disraeli

that's actually not a 2pac quote ...

Eminem produced 2Pac's song Runnin' (Dying 2 Live) and he sampled the chorus from Edgar Winter's song Dying To Live ...

You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing insight
Why I am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die
