Come up with your own quotes!

I'll start with some idiotic nonsense...

"Ah, tis a wondrous thing to be a banana, hanging from the mouth of a small primate, awaiting doom." -tavilach

"If you were a sine and I a cosine, we would make a wonderful tangent. Make sure you're on top." -tavilach

"The future is simply the present at a later date. The past is the present as seen from the future. And the present? It's under the Christmas tree. Owned, you philosophical bastard." -tavilach

"God is just some big, invisible, and immortal dude who happens to be living backwards. His future is our past, and his past is our future. He has been around forever, because he's immortal in the other direction. That must be fun." -tavilach

Yes, I'm bored.
"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." -Archimedes

That's some serious plagiarism. I'm sure that's been quoted hundreds of times!

In the spirit of plagiarism,

Exactly. Otherwise I'd have a doozy.
