To be clear I was quoting silence not ditto marks.

Not exactly who I had in mind, but pretty frigging funny. Despite my self righteous speech in the ferguson thread I will admit to having little regard or respect for Martians.

I have an enormous love of Charles Fort quotes - he makes the mind do somersaults. Love 'um!
"The fittest survive.
What is meant by the fittest?
Not the strongest; not the cleverest —
Weakness and stupidity everywhere survive.
There is no way of determining fitness except in that a thing does survive.
"Fitness," then, is only another name for "survival."
Darwinism:
That survivors survive." - Charles Fort
"The outrageous is the reasonable, if introduced politely." - Charles Fort
"A procession of the damned.
By the damned, I mean the excluded.
We shall have a procession of data that Science has excluded.
Battalions of the accursed, captained by pallid data that I have exhumed, will march. You'll read them — or they'll march."
- Charles Fort
"My own pseudo-conclusion: That we've been damned by giants sound asleep, or by great scientific principles and abstractions that cannot realize themselves: that little harlots have visited their caprices upon us; that clowns, with buckets of water from which they pretend to cast thousands of good-sized fishes have anathematized us for laughing disrespectfully, because, as with all clowns, underlying buffoonery is the desire to be taken seriously; that pale ignorances, presiding over microscopes by which they cannot distinguish flesh from nostoc or fishes' spawn, have visited upon us their wan solemnities. We've been damned by corpses and skeletons and mummies, which twitch and totter with pseudo-life derived from conveniences."

And, of course - the best of the best: Winnie-the-Pooh. 
“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.” - A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
“If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember: you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.” - A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-pooh

Amen. For a bear of very little brain the Pooh was wise beyond his years despite all those blows he took to his fluff filled head going "bump bump bump" up and down the stairs.
Here's one from Eeyore by way of A.A. Milne
"A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.”

And one of his famous quotes -
“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you, but not from you. Though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. You may house their bodies, but not their souls. You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you.”
--Khalil Gibran

"OK, so what's the speed of dark?" —Steven Wright
"I find television very educating. Every time someone turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." — Groucho Marx
I could bore you with more...
