Quotes are a unique enough medium of expression that I’m interested in viewing quotes that people have found collectable, emotionally impactful, useful, memorable, or otherwise noteworthy—perhaps others are similarly interested. To clarify, these need not be even remotely related to rationality. I’m hijacking the mandates traditionally used for the Rationality Quotes thread, with a few modifications:
Please post all quotes separately, so that they can be upvoted or downvoted separately. (If they are strongly related, reply to your own comments. If strongly ordered, then go ahead and post them together.)
Do not quote yourself.
Do not quote from Less Wrong itself, HPMoR, Eliezer Yudkowsky, or Robin Hanson.
Do not repeat quotes found in a Rationality Quotes thread.
If possible, try to post sufficient information (URL, title, date, page number, etc.) to enable a reader to find the place where you read the quote, or its original source if available. Note that this can be helpful, but is not mandatory—I would much prefer a quote with only a name to no quote at all.
Please post any meta discussion in the top-level comment named “Meta”.
