[eric the espeon]

That man is the product of causes which had no pre-vision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and beliefs, are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought or feeling, can preserve a life beyond the grave, all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system; and the whole temple of man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins.

Depending on how you take it, it can be massively depressing or entirely liberating.

Edit: on a lighter note:

Its easy to blame yourself, but its even easier to blame other people!

Edit2: Great thread after an unpromising start.

My favorite quotes are..

"The trouble with using experience as a guide is that the final exam often comes first then the lessons after."

"You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction."

"If you see some one without a smile, give them yours."

"Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced."

"Girls are like stars, there's millions millions of them but only precious girls are comets. You don't wanna to miss them because they shine beautiful in the sky." - Me, from my personal experiences.

The quote that affects me the most is.

"Kindness is the language which deaf can hear and the blind can see." - Twain.

I remembered one time that I was trying to tell a lunch lady that I wanted a bag of chips, but this darn lady couldn't understand me. A random girl I never knew, or let alone, saw, came and signed asking me that what am I trying to say. I told her by signing, and she spoke for me. She smiled, then left.

These situations are we really don't see everyday in life at us, the deaf community.

From since that day, I'm always on lookout for disabled people.
