More "profound" quotes (with a nod to Botman)

[JonC]

Here's another:

"Things were bad today, then I heard a voice in my ear saying 'smile, things could be worse'. So I smiled and, lo, things did get worse!"

"It adds insult to injury when: you lose your bikini top on the beach and NO-ONE notices."

"Life is like a sh1t sandwich - the more bread the better!" (1960s!)

"Always remember, when one door closes another is slammed in your face."

"life is the boring interlude between birth and death."

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you."

"when you see the light at the end of the tunnel, just make sure it's not a train coming the other way."

"Being in love is like your first solo flight. Exhilerating and wonderful, but with the risk of an almighty pile-up at the end of it."

"If you can walk away from it, it was a good landing."

Nice, and/but well known. How about these:

Wilde, Oscar - The Picture of Dorian Gray
"There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution."

Shakespeare, William - A Midsummer Night's Dream
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind."

Beagle, Peter - The Last Unicorn
"I was born mortal, and I have been immortal for a long, foolish time, and one day I will be mortal again; so I know something that a unicorn cannot know. Whatever can die is beautiful -- more beautiful than a unicorn, who lives forever, and who is the most beautiful creature in the world."
