Ahhh Quotes…

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. - Dr. Seuss

Usually they are meant to inspire. Some do some don’t. As I bump into worthy quotes, good, humorous or what not I’ll post them here.

I still have friends who persist in pointing out how fantastic GIMP is. GIMP is not fantastic. GIMP is “free”; “Free” is not (contrary to popular belief) the same as “good”. Herpes, for instance, is generally free (unless you got it from a hooker or your ex-husband/wife, then you most likely paid for it one way or another). Herpes is generally not too useful for anything, people are usually not to happy about getting it and coincidentally, herpes flare-up is just about as erratic as GIMP’s stability.

“To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they know quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?” -  Socrates
