Obviously, some people just don't use mirrors, have lost touch with reality, or for some reason, think we want to know.
 
My favourite Acceleracers quotes:

"I'm gonna pass you"

"I've got trouble"

"I've got more trouble"

"He crashed because he made a mistake"

"I don't know!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm going for the record! Fastest time ever"

"What's wrong with a little music?"

"Spinebuster's my car!"

"If you ever do that again, you better not miss"

"Nolo can't forget his brother and Kurt won't forgive his"

"You can't even find half your car"

"I learn how in prison!"
 
"Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hey, @TexRex, you've got a fan!

I'm not sure whether @g-man7 intended to post this as a counterargument to Izzard's quote, because it seems like the two quotes agree with each other.

Isaac Asimov in 1980
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge' .
 
Joseph Heller
When I read something saying I've not done anything as good as Catch-22 I'm tempted to reply, "Who has?"
Note: I like this quote not because Catch-22 is supposed to be the greatest book ever (although it's very good), but rather as a witty riposte from an artist who's tired of being constantly told "your old stuff was better".

Bertrand Russell
The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.

This technique is as old as the hills; it was practiced in almost every Greek city, and the moderns have only enlarged its scale.
 
Life is not meant to be a journey to the grave in a well preserved body. I want to skid into my grave sideways with a beer in one hand and a taco in the other screaming "Holy hell, what a rush"

What a different world this would be if people would listen to those who know more and not merely try to get something from those who have more.
Also attributed to Boetcker
A man is judged by the company he keeps, and a company is judged by the men it keeps, and the people of democratic nations are judged by the type and caliber of officers they elect.

Ishiro Honda on his movie Rodan
Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them.

Sophocles
The tyrant is a child of pride who drinks from his sickening cup, recklessness and vanity, until from his high crest headlong he plummets to the dust of hope.
