I have heard that attributed to Einstein, but I've also heard that that is a myth... so I guess I don't really know....

But I would like to add one of my favorite quotes from history....

"Facts, are stubborn things..."

history is the clue here...

I don't know yours Fanatik (although I've heard it) but here's one of my favorites from a movie. My fellow Gen-X'ers should be all over this one:

"If he gets up, we'll all get up. It'll be anarchy!"

I don't know your either Ipas, but I'm a baby boomer so maybe I'm too old to know it.... but I will expand on mine.... It was made by a very famous lawyer in a very famous criminal case.... It was quite some time back, but I find it to be very true today, especially with all that's going on in the world and all the lies and distortions we are exposed to on a daily basis..... anyways, here is the complete opening line from the closing argument:

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.....

I hope someone knows this besides me... I would hate to think I am alone in the admiration of this statement...

I'm a movie buff but don't know, is there more you could add?

[Nik Colon]

From a movie, and it's NOT the movie Elysium, but this quote means a lot to me, especially since my 11 yo daughters name IS Elysium and I wanted that name prior to my movie quote.

2000 movie, 4 star won many awards.
"If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium"

[Nik Colon]

One of the best animated movies- first of its kind crossover
"Ow! Jeez, what was that for? It doesn't matter. It's in the past. Yeah, but it still hurts. Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it"

Song:
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

You might be a little too young for this one, Ritz. Here's another quote from the same character in the same movie:

"Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?"
