I can't pick just one.

Now the world has gone to bed

Darkness won't engulf my head

I can see by infra-red

How I hate the night

-- Douglas Adams, hgttg, Page 444.

When you see yourself doing something badly, and no one's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a bad place to be. You may not want to hear it, but your critics often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.

-- Randy Pausch, the last lecture

Just go YouTube The Last Lecture. It takes an hour but you will come away different.
