I haven't really kept track of quotes to be honest. There are a lot of things i have read from everyone here that i should have jotted down as they would have been terrific quotes.
I believe my signatures are quotes, i think the first one is from Shirak as well, but i couldn't find where he said it, unless i'm wrong. The second i haven't been able to find the source at all.
There are a few quotes i'm searching for from Draspy, Fridge and Sussch that if i can find, will try and quote here.
ok,
Have fun!

I would like to quote a whole post that owltwelveonce made on psionicsonline (this one), but I'll try to extract what I liked the most:
From the point of view of practice, skepticism is a valuable tool when it helps you to refine your skills or notice consistent patterns. However, if you are constantly looking over your shoulder, you'll eventually trip or run into a wall:)
-- owltwelve
Almost all achievement requires a leap of faith to some degree; before you succeed, how can you know that you will not fall down.
-- owltwelve
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-- George Bernard Shaw
Thank you, owltwelve and Fang!
You helped me realize how I was deluding myself by attempting to fool others through skepticism.

o.o Each of us is born with the potential for the unfolding of our true self. When you deviate from the truth, you are interfering with the intention of something greater than you are- call it nature or a higher power. As a result, you develop discomfort. Dont know who xD

Lain Iwakura: People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that's why there were all kinds of mes. There weren't a lot of mes per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that's all.
Lain Iwakura: [gasp] Miho Iwakura: The wired might actually be thought of as a highly advanced upper layer of the real world. In other words, physical reality is nothing but an illusion, a hologram of the information that flows to us through the wired. Lain Iwakura: But ma... Miho Iwakura: This is because the body, physical motion, the activity of the human brain is merely a physical phenomenon, simply caused by synapses delivering electrical impulses. Lain Iwakura: But mom, I... Miho Iwakura: The physical body exists at a less evolved plane only to verify one's existence in the universe. Lain Iwakura: Are you really, truly my mother? Miho Iwakura: [disappears] Lain Iwakura: Are you?
And a few from Matrix:
Morpheus: I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.
Morpheus: Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
Oracle: OK, now I'm supposed to say, "Hmm, that's interesting, but... " then you say... Neo: ..."but what?" Oracle: But... you already know what I'm going to tell you. Neo: I'm not The One. Oracle: Sorry, kid. You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something. Neo: What? Oracle: Your next life, maybe. Who knows? That's the way these things go.

The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises.
