    We all have favourite quotes. Weather its from a movie, a poet or a politician. Funny or inspirational. Witty or existential. Quotes are sometimes mantras that keep us in check. Share them.

    Heres one of mine:

    "Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge" - Winston Churchill

    I don't really have one because I've never sat down and thought about it really or searched for one. Some great quotes that come to mind:

    "You, Quadruped. Sprechen Sie Englisch?" (guess the movie)

    "Live the Fourth" (anybody else been on Kairos?)

    "She's going to be playing some Atari tonight!"
    "It's funny because Atari was played with a joystick!"
