The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy it can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
-Kahlil Gibran

Before you go and criticize the younger generation, just remember who raised them.

...just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
-Unknown

Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.
-Eric Hoffer

Who sees all beings in his own self, and his own self in all beings, loses all fear.
-Isa Upanishad, Hindu Scripture

Every man is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him.
-Emerson

-Unknown

When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.

I Agree with Nick

But in all seriousness:

Drummers are a bit like house flies. They're born, they make a noise, then they die.
Sure it’s quiet, for a diesel. But that’s like being well-behaved… for a murderer.
Britain’s nuclear submarines have been deemed unsafe…probably because they don’t have wheel-chair access.
I don’t understand bus lanes. Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?
This is the Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that's much to shout about. That's like saying 'Ooh good I've got
syphilis, the BEST of the sexually transmitted diseases.
You aren't allowed to have a party, you aren't allowed to have music, you aren't allowed to play ball games, you aren't allowed to have a camp fire, you have to park within two feet of a post, you have to keep quiet, you have to be in bed by eleven. This is not a holiday, it's a concentration camp!
All Jeremy Clarkson. Idiotic? Pompous? maybe, but he is hilarious.

"Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid."
—Frank Zappa


"It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party."

Not sure if this counts as a quote, but...

You come home, and everyone talks at once and everyone asks questions, but no one waits for the answers. Instead they talk about themselves, what they’ve been up to, what they’re going to do next, as if you’re a photo on the wall. And then they talk to one another, forgetting you’ve just flown in, forgetting you’re in the backseat, forgetting they’ve already said it all.
