Question: What's your favorite quote?
My Answer: My email sig files have a bunch of them, but perhaps my favorite is this one: "It ain't braggin' if you can do it." - Dizzy Dean, 1930's baseball player.

While I have many I like, my favorite is "Without music, life would be a mistake." by Friedrich Nietzsche ("that stoner").

Being a techno producer, this one has to be mine:
“Percussion music is revolution. Sound and rhythm have too long been submissive to the restrictions of nineteenth-century music. Today we are fighting for their emancipation. Tomorrow, with electronic music in our ears, we will hear freedom.†—John Cage, 1939

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." - Thomas A. Edison. I like it because it is extremely motivating, no matter how much (or little) you have accomplished already.

For the moment, I'm going with an old one that many people I currently work with should heed:
"It is often better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
- often attributed to Confucius, but source unknown
And I'll toss in a class for humor's sake:
"Do unto others...
Then split!"

"Aticus said once that you never really got to know a person until you walked around in their shoes for a while. Standing on the Radley porch was enough." Harper Lee
