Some music artist from a magazine to some kind of effect like this but it was articulated much better:
"I still haven't found that place that I can call home, the place that smells good, feels comfortable and the rhythms are mellow"

There is no gratitude - only irritation if, for any reason, the newly invented conveniences break down. Men don't spend their time thanking God for cars; they only curse when the carburettor is choked.
-- Aldous Huxley
Anyone who's ever had to do technical support for consumers will understand that one...

Discordian thought eh?
"In some way a thing is, in some way a thing is not, in some way a thing is indescribable, in some way a thing is and is indescribable, in some way a thing is not and is indescribable, and in some way a thing is, is not, and is indescribable." - From The Illuminatus Trillogy
However also a central tennant of Jainism in eastern philosophy, and if you can unravel what it means, its got a very cute meaning.
"'And you better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It's unpleasently like being drunk' - 'Well, what's so unpleasent about being drunk?' - 'You ask a glass of water!'" - Hitchhikers Guide (Ah what a terrific series of writings!)

A guy in my art class once said;
"Speak my mind? I'd hate myself if I did that!"
I just thought it was the funniest thing ever.
And because my brother is a "Techno Junkie" and plays Warcraft (3);
"Guns don't kill people.. I do! *manic laughter*"

"Greebo turned slowly, a faint, lazy smile on his scarred face. As a human, his nose was broken and a black patch covered his bad eye. But the other one glittered like the sins of angels, and his smile was the downfall of saints. Female ones, anyway." - Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad
"Other theories about the ultimate start involve gods creating the universe out of the ribs, entrails and testicles of their father. There are quite a lot of these. They are interesting, not for what they tell you about cosmology, but for what they say about people. Hey, kids, which part do you think they made your town out of?" - Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
"A good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read." - Terry Pratchett, Guards, Guards!

“The mark of a truly beautiful woman is that from one angle she looks so stunningly lovely you feel you will die if you cannot have her; yet, from another, she is ugly, repulsive, you are afraid of her.” – Picasso
"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? So that it will make us happy? …Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kinds of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us." - Franz Kafka
“And what are the rules? Ask me and I will strike you because you are not looking; I will have decapitated you without your knowing. One can try to formulate obscure theories to avoid playing the game or one can play the game to win.” – Daniel Kolak, Wittgenstein’s Tractatus: Translator’s Preface
