Quotable Thursday!

Here we are again, the second installment of my new feature - Quotable Thursday! This is where I choose a quote from my collection and share it with the world. Or all two of you who actually read this, ha ha!

One good thing I'm already noticing about this is that now I am going to at least flip through my quote book every week. Usually I don't look at it that often, but it's nice to be reminded. Some struck me at certain points of my life because of what I was going through, others are just timeless, at least to me. 

So on with the quote, right? Lol. 

"I am by now completely convinced that my downfall in life is going to be my inability to achieve computer nirvana like a true hacker or hackette."  Douglas Copeland  Shampoo Planet

This is one that feels far too true far too often. I could use my age as an excuse, but there are plenty of people my age who can work over those machines like nobody's business. Me... Well, technology hates me. I have witnesses to this, too, lol. 

And actually, I have another one along these lines, which goes to show you that I've been having computer issues for a loooonng, time, haha! So already - bonus quote!

"So computers are the tool of the Devil? thought Newt. He had no problem believing it. Computers had to be the work of somebody, and all he knew for certain was that it definitely wasn't him."  Neil Gaimon and Terry Pratchett  Good Omens

In other words, here is just a taste of my frustration when it comes to computers. They are great tools and I use them all the time. But technology hates me... Never works the same way all the time. At least, not for me, lol.

Hope you enjoyed these quotes. Feel free to comment, or even leave some quotes of your own! I love to know what strikes people enough to keep it around.
