    "Because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

    “The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you would ever look.”

    “There is no avoiding war, it can only be postponed to the advantage of your enemy.”

    “One thing I've learned in the last seven years: in every game and con there's always an opponent, and there's always a victim. The trick is to know when you're the latter, so you can become the former.”

    Not weight-loss related, but some of my favourite quotes:

    "QUOTATION, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another.
    CURIOSITY, n. An objectionable quality of the female mind. The desire to know whether or not a woman is cursed with curiosity is one of the most active and insatiable passions of the masculine soul.
    CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision."

    Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

    "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde

    “Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands - and all you can do is scratch it” Sir Thomas Beecham

    “There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between.” Sir Thomas Beecham

    "Imagination is more important than knowledge..." Albert Einstein

    "All you have to do is die."

    One of my teachers in high school said that. He was asking why I was still doing something, I was saying it was because I had to, and after the fourth or fifth time around he said, "Julia, all you HAVE to do is die, now tell me really... why?" It was one of the most important things anyone has ever said to me.

    When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure

    and

    Fave philosophical: "Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics. You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today." ~ Carl Sagan

    I believe that is a Lawrence Krauss quote from his lecture 'A universe from nothing'.

    "We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and -- in spite of True Romance magazines -- we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness."
    — Hunter S. Thompson

    "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
