I came across this comment left on an entry for the Architecture challenge. The recipient was trying his hardest to come last. Ironically, he didnt succeed.

It’s all trivial — your grouse, my hermit, Bernard’s Byron. Comparing what we’re looking for misses the point. It’s wanting to know that makes us matter. Otherwise we’re going out the way we came in. That’s why you can’t believe in the afterlife, Valentine. Believe in the after, by all means, but not in the life. Believe in God, the soul, the spirit, the infinite, believe in angels if you like, but not in the great celestial get-together for an exchange of views. If the answers are in the back of the book I can wait, but what a drag. Better to struggle on knowing that failure is final.
-Tom Stoppard, Arcadia

Maybe it has been mentioned before, but one of the Icelandic users here on DPC has been running a website for seven years with lot of quotes related to photography, take a look at it:
The boy's got brains
he just don't use 'em that's all
The boy's got brains
he just refuse to ues 'em and that's all
He said, "The more i get to thinking
the less I tend to laugh"
The boy's got brains
He just abstains.
...
The boy's got a voice
but the voice is his natural disguise
Yes the boy's got a voice
But his words don't connect to his eyes
...
Paul Simon -- Oh, Marion
Kinda reminds me of the Presidential election ... on both sides, but I digress.
