Quotes?

[mymouth]

The company I work for is undergoing rebranding, and we're all getting new business cards. We have each been asked to select a quote we'd like to put on the back of our cards.

What are some of your favorites?

(I work at Blackwell Book Services, so anything bookish is particularly topical, but isn't necessary)

"Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff."
-Frank Zappa

All the best quotes are by Vonnegut.

"New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become."

"Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe."

"If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind."

"I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center."

"Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."

"One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us."

"Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance."
