sorry but got the question... this thread has so many pages and i couldn't read all of them, so is the contest over or no?
"I would kill for the Nobel Peace Prize." Muahahahaha. I think I saw that on a bumper sticker once. On a more serious note, here's one of my Orwell favorites: "Sanity is not statistical." And lastly, Tyler Durden in Fight Club: "Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." Edit: Whoooops! Contest over. Please edit the first post Abhisek.
If you're stupid, surround yourself with smart people. If you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you.
Nerd Season A truck driver, hauling a tractor-trailer load of computers, spots a good place to stop for a beer. As he approaches the bar, and sees a big sign on the door that says, "NERDS NOT ALLOWED - ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!" Hummm, Thinking this is a bit strange, he enters and sits down. The bartender comes over to him, sniffs, looks him over and says "You smell some kind of nerdy". He then asks him what he does for a living. The truck driver explains to him that he drives a truck, and the smell is just from the computers he is hauling. The bartender serves him a beer and says, "OK, truck drivers aren't nerds." As he is sipping his beer, a skinny guy walks in wearing a pair of glasses with tape around the middle, a pocket protector with twelve kinds of pens and pencils, and a belt that is at least a foot too long. The bartender, without saying a word, pulls out a shotgun and blows the guy away. The truck driver asks him "Why did you do that". The bartender replied, "Don't worry. The Nerds are in season because they are overpopulating this whole Silicon Valley. And Hey, "You don't even need a license." So the truck driver finishes his beer, gets back in his truck, and heads for the freeway. Suddenly, he veers to avoid an accident, and the load shifts. The back door breaks open and computers spill out all over the road. He jumps out and sees a crowd already forming, snatching up all of the computers. The scavengers are comprised of engineers, accountants and programmers. Each of them wearing the nerdiest clothes he has ever seen. He can't let them steal his whole load. So remembering what happened in the bar, he pulls out his gun and starts blasting away. Believing he is doing the right thing, the truck driver reloads his gun. While Preparing to shoot a bunch more of them little nerdy guys, a highway patrol officer comes zooming up and jumps out of his car screaming at him, STOP!!! STOP!!! "What's wrong officer? I thought nerds were in season." "Well, sure," says the patrolman, "But the limit is one per day, And you can't BAIT EM !!"
Here's one about passion and creativity. "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." Michelangelo A bit philosophical, eh? Beautiful.
