A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
-Robert A. Heinlein
I've got all of those handled, except for the programming and equations, which I'm working on.

Well... since it's necro'd we might as well use it.
“Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another.” , “To say ‘I love you’ one must know first how to say the ‘I.’ ” --Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, respectively.
“Every form of social or cultural discrimination in fundamental personal rights … must be curbed and eradicated as incompatible with G_d's design.” --Catechism of the Catholic Church, Article 3, Section II, 1935.
“Through centuries of scourges and disasters, brought about by your code of morality, you have cried that your code had been broken, that the scourges were punishment for breaking it, that men were too weak and too selfish to spill all the blood it required. You damned men, you damned existence, you damned this earth, but never dared to question your code. Your victims took the blame and struggled on, with your curses as reward for their martyrdom — while you went on crying that your code was noble, but human nature was not good enough to practice it. And no one rose to ask the question: Good? — by what standard?” --Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged.
“道可道非恆道名可名非恆名無名天地之始有名萬物之母故常無欲以觀其妙常有欲以觀其徼此兩者同出而異名同謂之玄玄之又玄眾妙之門” (The dao that can be named is not the everlasting dao, the name that can be named is not the everlasting name. Having no name it is the creator of heaven and earth; having a name it is the mother of all things. We must be without desire to understand the mystery. With desire, we only see the surface. Yet it all comes from the same source: nothing. Nothing born of nothing, the source of all understanding). --Tao Te Ching, The Actual Chinese and a translation of what I remember of this line in parenthesis, for I always try to keep it in mind.

((FrivolousChaos I love that movie!))
"So, let me get this straight. You want to fly on a magic carpet to see the King of the Potato People and plead with him for your freedom, and you're telling me you are completely sane?!" Rimmer (Red Dwarf)
(From The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series)
"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.
"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm. "The Answer to the Great Question, of Life, the Universe and Everything"
The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
Now it is such a bizarrely impossible coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the nonexistence of God. The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," say Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't though of that" and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
Arthur: "Ford, I think I'm a sofa." Ford: "I know how you feel."
