From Mark Twain .....

Something to aspire to , being a giant ....
"We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants. We see more, and things that are more distant, than they did, not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours."
From John of Salisbury

"Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women; I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, 'cause if we don't we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies who make the babies. And since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one." - Tupac Shakur.

I have a few:

"I swear, by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. "
-Ayn Rand (Should be self explanatory. I base my egoism on this quote from Atlas Shrugged)
"I should have wasted more breath."
-B. Dolan (Explaining that his elitism and condescension towards others caused him to miss out on many excellent experiences; lamenting the fact in a song he wrote)
