See, it's like, you need to have stuff that sucks to have stuff that's cool.

Death is in my sight today
(Like) the recovery of a sick man,
Like going out into the open after a confinement....
Death is in my sight today
Like the longing of a man to see his house (again),
After he has spent many years held in captivity.
- annonymous (Ancient Egyptian script)
Second-hand flatulence knows no borders.
- James Huza, supporter of the GasBGon flatulence filter
Look well at this, and speak no towering word
Yourself against the gods, nor walk too grandly
Because your hand is weightier than another's,
Or your great wealth deep founded. One short day
Inclines the balance of all human things
To sink or rise again. Know that the gods
Love men of steady sense and hate the proud.
- Sophocles
Know Yourself...
- Socrates
Wealth and honor are what people want, but if they are the consequence of deviating from the way, I would have no part in them. Poverty and disgrace are what people deplore, but if they are the consequences of staying on the way, I would not avoid them.
- The Analects of Confucius
