This one I know because I totally adored her.  Mother Teresa.

The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.

 

I just got this quote from my friend on email... so I didn't google but I didn't think of it.  And yes, it is Shark Drain.

This should be an easy one:

 

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.

New quote:

 

I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God...

I havent heard that one before, or at least i can't call to mind at the moment. 'tis stumping me.

Shakespeare?

OK i'll do an easy one (relatively) and a hard one. choose to answer one or both.

Easy (author or the people who say this are legit):

 

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Hint: sand.

 

Hard (author or character who uses it):

Where subtlety fails us we must simply make do with cream pies.”

hint: upgraded chimp.

Hamlet, in fact.

This is a Bene Gesserit (sp?) chant or proverb or meditation point as said or thought by Paul Atreides and his mother and other witches in Frank Dune's classic Dune. (I would have said "seminal classic", but given the undisguised phallic nature of the giant sand worms, I thought discretion to be the better part of valor in this case.)

I was thinking Groucho Marx, but I don't think that fits the "upgraded chimp" clue.

LOL <groan>... so you said it anyways

Dune, and all the names you mentioned in connection with it is correct :)

 

Groucho Marx is not for the second. Since you were right on the first it's your turn.

 

If you don't want the answer for the second quite yet, here's hint 2; it's another sci-fi that revolves around taking semi-sentient species and using genetic manipulation to grant them full sentience.

Hint 3: The Postman. But it has almost nothing to do with that movie.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

David Brin, from Uplift War.    Used by one of the Neo Chimps.
