Which gives me an idea: What are your favorite quotes? (They don't have to
be film quotes. Anything goes.)
I'll start with this one (kudos if you know where it's from without using
the internet):
"The song of the forest is in perfect harmony. If a single note is out
of place, the elves will find its source."

There is no need to be ashamed of not knowing a quote by a 16th Century
English playwright who only wrote six or seven plays.

I know not with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be
fought with sticks and stones.
I didn't know yours, although it sounds like Tolkien.

I think this is traditionally attributed to Einstein, but I would probably
have to perform some research in order to verify that. (Misattributions
of this type are extremely common.)

I've always thought it to be Einstein. I had a moment's doubt before posting,
but Wikipedia at least seems to agree.

True, though not all quotes have to be googled to be known...I knew that
one off the top of my head. :)

I'd have guessed Tolkien if I hadn't read later messages.
"Insanity is a gradual process. Don't rush it."

That doesn't prevent God's existence. That only makes him illogical. Logic
