[gnetophyta]

It's hard to pick a favourite quotation, but these are two I really like:

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."

"Because if we happened, just happened to discover, or even suspect, that our spontaneity was part of their order, we'd know that we were lost."

--Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Tom Stoppard)
