I like quotes, so I will let them define me.
"Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot."
Charlie Chaplin
And it's hard to look on your life in long-shot while you're living it, that's why it always seems so tragic.
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."
"My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world."
George Bernard Shaw
Sarcasm and irony are my reason to live, ain't that just wonderful ?
"This life is a hospital where each patient is possessed by the desire to change his bed."
"What matters an eternity of damnation to someone who has found in one second the infinity of joy?"
"We have psychologized like the insane, who aggravate their madness in struggling to understand it."
Charles Baudelaire
"Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the airplane, the pessimist invents the parachute."
George Bernard Shaw
This one makes me feel useful.
"(...)Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies(...)
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck(...)"
fragments of "Ozymandias", sonnet by Percy Bysshe Shelley
"The sex relation is not a personal relation. It can be irresistibly desired and rapturously consummated between persons who could not endure one another for a day in any other relation."
George Bernard Shaw
uncanny, but seems true when you think about it.
"The whole world is about three drinks behind."
"Things are never so bad they can't be worse."
"Ah, nuts. I'm an actor. I just do what comes naturally." (when asked if he followed any specific acting method)
Humphrey Bogart
This two:
"The customs of your tribe are not laws of nature."
"Dancing: The vertical expression of a horizontal desire legalized by music."
and the last one, are of coure G.B.Shaw words, who is my favourite quote source, as you probably noticed by now.
"I often quote myself. I find it adds spice to the conversation."
