PSU: It's the site that watches back.
omg just as I opened this window one of my quotes came up! w00t!
"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship... voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
- Hermann Goering, Reichmarshal

I find it amusing how popular this quote has become nowadays. Before Bush went to war with Iraq, nobody gave a rat's ass about this quote because Goering was a pontificating fucktard who didn't know his ass from his elbow throughout the entirety of his Nazi career. But now, well, I guess recent events have made people forget who said the quote, instead focusing on the fact that it was said by someone who isn't alive anymore, and therefore must be an infallable gem of wisdom to be placed on the highest pedistal of truth.
As for my favorite quote, it's one by Winston Churchill. "The strongest argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

All probably true, still a good quote.
Anyway, I have not noticed this quote being more popular, it has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Just now it seems so fitting.

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat. The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
