Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and
expecting a different result."

-- Werner Erhard

"The melancholy thing about the world is that it is full of stupid and common people, and the world is run for the benefit of the stupid and the common"

-- V.S. Naipaul - Nobel Laureate

"It's too bad that stupidity isn't painful."

--Anton Szandor LaVey

"Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our destiny atrophies, The result is: families under siege, war in the streets, unapologetic expropriation of property, the precipitous decline of the rule of law, the rapid rise of corruption, the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit."

-- Janice Rogers Brown (Bush nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit)

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

-- Albert Einstein

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."

-- Ayn Rand

"Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity."

-- Edwin Land

"This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you."

-- Mr. Burns (The Simpsons)
