This quote perfectly sums up how I felt about some of my relationships before meeting my wife:

This quote from Voltaire's Candide sums up my attitude towards the things I choose to read:

For my part, I read only to please myself. I like only that which serves my purpose.


Finally, I love XKCD and sometimes Randall Munroe has classic quotes like the one below:
