"If I ever get quoted from another person is that I am a horrible man in history or a great man in history."
So far, neither.

I figured if I ever get quoted, I would want it in the most esoteric way to confuse most amount of people.

"There are two states to man.  One in which they have no idea what they are doing, and the other in which they are the equivalent of the god of the situation.  It is also true that not a single person that has dealt with government has achieved the latter.  Ever.  Except for Ghandi, that is.  He had shit figured out."  - Zanzetkuken

"An arbitrary object has a certain usefulness value, expressed as x. Fire has a usefulness value expressed as y. Fire has several important uses; thus, the value of y must be positive. Hence, y+x>x. Conclusion: Setting an object on fire makes it more effective." -Remuthra

"100% of participants in a recent study decided to dodge the hunks of wood thrown at them rather than catch them, regardless of the pithiness of the wood in question." - throwing things at people is fun, especially when you can justify it with "its for science"

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

"Everything from the upmost atrocity to the most miniscule of inanity can be justified as being 'for science'. After all, what is science but doing a thing that noone thought was a good idea then repeating it until everyone is too tired to reject your reason of why the thing you were doing is done the way it is. Kind of like tradition, but under the guise of being new, rational, and the end-all path to knowledge, enlightenment and happiness. Tell me, what scientist is happy except the one who is being paid exorbitant sums of green slips of cloth paper by another man to do the science he is too smart and sane to do himself, but needs the answer to trick others into giving him their green slips of cloth paper instead of buying food." -Capt.
