Mine?

Either: "When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained." (Twain)

Or: "Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack because you are a vegetarian." (Wholey)

I think this one might also be my favorite quote in general:

There are only two things that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and Im not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

Nietzsche
