Alex Cox
“The more you drive the less intelligent you are.”
Alex Cox, Repo Man: The Screenplay

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance: An Excerpt from Collected Essays, First Series

Graham Chapman
“Matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches. It has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.”
Graham Chapman, The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words, Vol. 2

Henry David Thoreau
“Follow your genius closely enough, and it will not fail to show you a fresh prospect every hour.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
“A book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it an apostle is hardly likely to look out.”
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, Sudelbücher.
