One of the questions of yesterday's Friday's Feast had to do with favorite quotes. Well, I've read some of the others that people have put up, and some of them are quite clever. Here are a few that I thought were memorable.

--

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." -Robert Heinlein, The Notebooks of Lazarus Long

Some profound and some silly, but I think you'll agree, all memorable.
