henry, now that you're annoying again again again, you made me think of a song about the next most annoying creature I know: The fly!
(Translated from Danish:)
I'm the fly and I have wings attached
That's why I don't bother using my legs
I was not made for something great
That's why you will find me on a turd.

Re: Favorite Quote?
That is actually a paradoxical statement. If know nothing, then I don't know that I don't know everything. Therefore I must know at least something.
A true statement would be "I know that I don't know everything". However, this could not be verified.
Or else "I don't know what is unknown to me." Tautology.
Or else "Not everything is an unknown." Empirical tautology.

"In order to hate someone else, first you must learn how to hate yourself."
"If "Jewry" is a bunch of Jews, then what's a "country"?" (Needs to be pronounced for proper appreciation.)
"If you want piss in your soup, first piss off the waiting staff."

Kill a man, and you are an assassin. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill everyone, and you are a god. - Jean Rostand, biologist and philosopher (1894-1977).

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.
