The Cigarette Smoking Man: Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a Peanut Butter Cup or an English Toffee. But they're gone too fast and the taste is... fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box... filled with useless brown paper wrappers.

"I write 1 page of masterpiece to 91 pages of sh!t" by Ernest Hemingway. As a writer, i find this helps when i'm a bit stuck or think that what i've written is crap.
"Wow. You found a boat. In the middle of the ocean, of all places." From Ghost Ship. I love that line, she delivers it to perfection. Funny as. (You gotta see the movie to get it)

Something like (I don't remember the exact quote):
If nothing we do means anything, if there is no greater purpose, then the only thing that means something is what we do. The smallest act of kindness can be the most important thing in the world.

"People who've had happy childhoods are wonderful, but they're bland... An unhappy childhood compels you to use your imagination to create a world in which you can be happy. Use your old grief. That's the gift you're given." -- Baron Patrick Maynard Stuart Blackett, a British physicist

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. -Emerson

Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
