Quotes

Before I got my current assignment at work, I was pretty bored. So my sister and I were in touch by email all the time, and we decided to create a list of quotes. We actually had a really fun time. Between the two of us we made this list of quotes into something epic. We formed a list of rules for adding or changing a quote, like policies and procedures. We even added amendments when we wanted to change the rules. We gave ourselves official titles, promoted each other, and formed committees. When our family saw the growing list of quotes they wanted to jump in, so my sister and I put out and RFP. Due to lack of response, we made revisions and re-released the RFP. I know, I know... we're total nerds. But it was fun.

Then we both found better things to do with our time, and our little project was put on the back burner. But now, having obtained a unanimous vote between all two members of the presiding body over this honored document, it my great privilege to present to the general public, at long last - The Quotes.

Now this list is composed of funny, witty, random, inspiring, and meaningful quotations (some of which are inside jokes). Do not read while operating heavy machinery....

It has always seemed to me extreme presumptuousness on the part of those who want to make human ability the measure of what nature can and knows how to do, since, when one comes down to it, there is not one effect in nature, no matter how small, that even the most speculative minds can fully understand.

before I forget, and possibly forget that I forgot, let me offer the following forgetable quote.

"Forgetting is one thing, but forgetting what you forgot can be regretably unforgetable. Or was it un-regretably forgetable? I forget!"
