Anyway, here's a good quote:

"I am a part of all that I have met."

-- Alfred Tennyson

Which made me smile when I read it...

"I'm a child inside still.  Sometimes, not so still."

-- Mr. Rogers

"To find the soul it is necessary to lose it."

-- A.R. Luria

"For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic

 activity or perception to exist, a certain

 physiological precondition is indispensable:

 intoxication."

-- Friedrich Nietzche

"All children mythologize their birth.  It is a universal trait.  You want to know someone?  Heart, mind and soul?  Ask him to tell you about when he was born.  What you get won't be the truth; it will be a story.  And nothing is more telling than a story."

-- Vida Winter, Tales of Change and Desperation

Yes, I'm cataloging fiction again.  I always come across really good quotes when I catalog fiction...

The past is never dead.  It's not even past.

-- William Faulkner

"True heroism is a private thing."

-- W. B. Yeats

"Tell me, if you can, what is courage."

-- Plato

"The secret of happiness is freedom.  The secret of freedom, courage."

-- Thucydides
