"The 500 richest people in the world have more money amongst themselves than the total income of the poorest 3 billion." George Monbiot.
"Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead." Some fanatsy novel.
"Staten och kapitalen dom sitter i samma båt / men det är inte dom som ror / som ror så svettan lackar / og pisken som skimlar / skimlar heller inte / deras fete nackar." - Swedish punk band Ebba Grön. It roughly Translates into:
"The state and the capital, they're both in the same boat / but it isn't they who're rowing / rowing so the sweat is running / and the whip that's whipping / isn't whipping their fat necks." Sounds best in Swedish, ofc..
"Cedant Tenebrae Soli" Darkness must flee before the sun, or something like that.
"Na, Kerls! Wollt ihr denn ewig leben?" Some great European (German?) general/king/both. Either Charlemagne or Frederick The Great, I think... It means: " Well, boys! Do you want to liveforever then?"

Quote:
"Trying is the first step of failure"
does this quote seriously define you the best?
so you're saying you never even try?
then how do you accomplish anything in life?
wouldn't that make YOU a failure?...
the quote that best defines me is I guess:
"If there is no possible solution, an impossible one will do just fine."
...or something like that, don't know how to put it exactly in English...
not sure about the author though...

Just remebered another one:
"Wisdom is not the counting of all the drops in the waterfall. Wisdom is learning why the water seeks the earth."
I truly admire whoever wrote this quote although i don't know who the author is.

Dang, I need to find a new quote  That one's a bit outdated now...
Okay I found one:
Bring out the charge of the love brigade
There is spring in the air once again
Drink to the sound of the song parade
There is music and love everywhere

Now this quote truly defines me: "Humans must never submit to animals. An animal caught in a trap would bite off its own leg to escape. A human would lie there, feigning death, and kill the hunter, removing a threat to his own kind."

Mine will need a slight explanation, I think.
It's based on bumblebees actually, who should not be able to fly.
However, because the bumblebees don't know they're not supposed to fly (as tested in a windtunnel) it flies on pure willpower, and makes a bit of honey on the side.
the quote that goes with this is ''A man's beliefs of reality form his reality, a man who knows nothing about nature will be able to do a lot more than a well-schooled man''
I have no idea where that comes form, but I tend to do stuff I'm not supposed to be able to do more often (of course this has cause several visits to my local hospital )
