The strong individual loves the earth so much he lusts for recurrence.  He
can smile in the face of the most terrible thought: meaningless, aimless
existance recurring eternally.  The second characteristic of such a man is
that he has the strength to recognise -- and to live with the recognition --
that the world is valueless in itself and that all values are human ones.
He creates himself by fashoning his own values; he has the pride to live
by the values he wills.
                -- Nietzsche

The sudden sight of me causes panic in the streets. They have
yet to learn - only the savage fears what he does not understand.
                -- The Silver Surfer

The sum of the intelligence of the world is constant.
The population is, of course, growing.

The sun never sets on those who ride into it.
                -- RKO

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright --
And this was very odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
                -- Lewis Carroll

The sunlights differ, but there is only one darkness.
                -- Ursula K. LeGuin, "The Dispossessed"

The superfluous is very necessary.
                -- Voltaire

The superior man understands what is right;
the inferior man understands what will sell.
                -- Confucius

The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their
way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other,
whom he assumes to have perfect vision.  Each tends to ascribe to the other
side a consistency, forsight and coherence that its own experience belies.
Of course, even two blind men can do enormous damage to each other, not to
speak of the room.
                -- Henry Kissinger

The Supreme Court does it with all deliberate speed.
