Mah Fravrit Querts


First off, sorry it's red. It had to be or you wouldn't be able to read the quotes. The white highlight is because I copied from Facebook, and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Sorry. If it weren't red, you could barely read it. 


So, I haven't posted in a few days. I still have no idea what to post about, so I'll just post my favorite quotes from my facebook page. Sorry there are so many of them. I like a lot of words. Enjoy the entertainment and awesomeness:


From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
- Carl Sagan

Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don't have to be like, 'Oh yeah that purse is okay' or like, 'Yeah I like that band's early stuff.' Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself-love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they are saying is, 'You like stuff', which is just not a good insult at all, like 'You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness'.
- John Green

Jon: What religion are the Kwanza people?

Me:

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."
- Douglas Adams

Space is big, really big! You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
- Douglas Adams

This is my timey-wimey detector...It goes ding when there's stuff.
- The Doctor

Apollo: What's your name, again?
Brenda: Amnesia!
Apollo: Amnesia, that's a pretty name.

People assume that time is a straight progression from cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, nonsubjective viewpoint it's actually more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey...stuff.
- The Doctor

A needle that looks like hay. A haylike needle of death. A haylike needle of death in a haystack ... of statues. No, yours was fine.

- The Doctor

I'm being extremely clever up here and there's no one here to stand around looking impressed! What's the point in having you all?
- The Doctor

Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime, but teach a man to reason, and he'll think for a lifetime.
- Phil Plait

There's lots of mystery in the universe, and every new piece of information we find gives us a little bit more understanding, and just makes the picture we're trying to paint a little bit bigger and requires a lot more paint. It's a wonderful miraculous universe, miraculous is a bad word... It's a wonderful marvelous universe filled with science that we're still trying to understand, and because we don't understand it people mistake it for magic. As scientists it's our job to describe the magic, and give it equations, and give it math, and give it graphs, and give it computer models, and basically be able to beat things into a bloody pulp of understanding.
- Dr. Pamela L. Gay

"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." 
- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.
It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order, though.
- Douglas Adams
