I was just writing a comment and was quite pleased with a bit I put in and wondered if somebody would respond to that bit. It made me wonder how many people have come across comments that are much more profound than the original quote and are worthy of quote status on its own. I'm hoping this will become a long lasting topic that people add to now and then, not a 'flash in the pan' with a bunch of generic replies and then dies out. I'm not going to include my original bit because it isn't profound enough to be included here, plus it would take too much to explain and add context.

I found one. I've seen better, but hopefully, this will get the ball rolling.
