Oh right, I have some T-shirts with quotes:

"War is not about who is right but who is left" (this was why I thought about it)

"I'm not totally useless, I can be used as bad example"

"I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing"

You should check out the Large T-shirts: http://www.large.nl/bin/shop.php?prog=shop&mid=917&titel=Funshirts&rubrik=FUNS_00FUNSHIR&funktion=LISTGROUP&nurrub=1&tc=PULLDOWN_00FUNSHIR (a lot of dutch shits though).

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

It's a very good quote, and very true. Just to bad it's being overused.

My two favorite quotes are from the Man and the Legend
Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level. Bruce R.I.P.

Does that say "Dumbledore"? Isn't that Ian McKellen as Gandalf?

"I see an innumerable crowd of like and equal men who revolve on themselves without repose, procuring the small vulgar pleasures with which they fill their souls. Each of them, withdrawn and apart, is like a stranger to the destiny of all the others: his children and his particular friends form the whole human species for him; as for dwelling with his fellow citizens, he is beside them, but he does not see them; he touches them and does not feel them; he exists only in himself and for himself alone, and if a family still remains for him, one can at least say that he no longer has a native country."

- Alexis De Tocqueville, Democracy in America

I don't know about whatever that's from, except Yoda said the same thing in Star Wars. But I think it's a joke about ingenuine quotes on the Internet.

But, as for my quote... It's not even a quote, but a joke

"I'd like to change the world, but I don't have the source"
