Deep quotes you heard or made up?

"Life is like fine wine, it only gets better with age, but only up to a point, then it gets sour, everything settles to the bottom, and they can't get rid of you fast enough."
 
"There are rules to everything, even if nobody made them up, even if nobody calls it a game. And if you want things to work out well, it's best to know the rules and only break them if you're playing a different game and following those rules."
 
"The task of the tyrant is not to compel, but to persuade even the unwilling that compliance better serves their interest than resistance."
 
"Nobody has control of anything. We're all beggars at the throne of fate. But sometimes he has mercy."
 
"all women look ten times better with a dick in their mouths, twenty times better if it's mine."

--some guy at a bar I used to work at

The only thing I can think of is picking up the soap, but that makes no sense @-@

And also : “Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason,”
I actually need help to find the person who said that
 
“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”
-Richard Dawkins

(may have already been quoted here idk*
 

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”​

― Mark Twain
 
Being able to think deeply is the one accolade that Humanity has to its name,
and Man prides itself so immoderately on this intellect which distinguishes it from other animals;
Yet I often find myself begging Mankind to exercise this faculty of theirs, only to be left wanting,
and discover that many even fear and abhor contemplation, and those who practice it.
 
Animals will be seen on the earth who will always be fighting against each other with the greatest loss and frequent deaths on each side. And there will be no end to their malignity; by their strong limbs we shall see a great portion of the trees of the vast forests laid low throughout the universe; and, when they are filled with food the satisfaction of their desires will be to deal death and grief and labour and wars and fury to every living thing; and from their immoderate pride they will desire to rise towards heaven, but the too great weight of their limbs will keep them down. Nothing will remain on earth, or under the earth or in the waters which will not be persecuted, disturbed and spoiled, and those of one country removed into another. And their bodies will become the sepulture and means of transit of all they have killed.
O Earth! why dost thou not open and engulf them in the fissures of thy vast abyss and caverns, and no longer display in the sight of heaven such a cruel and horrible monster?

-Leonardo da Vinci, written in one of his personal notebooks
