Here's one of mine to start with:

"When fighting monsters, one must take caution not to become a monster one's self"

-Friedrich Nietzsche

Now its your turn.

"Do what he will, he [the profane man] is an inheritor. He cannot utterly abolish his past, since he himself is a product of his past. He forms himself by a series of denials and refusals, but he continues to be haunted by the realities that he has refused and denied. To acquire a world of his own, he has desacralized the world in which his ancestors lived; but to do so he has been obliged to adopt an earlier type of behavior, and that behavior is still emotionally present in him, in one form or another, ready to be reactualized in his deepest being. "
— Mircea Eliade (The Sacred and The Profane: The Nature of Religion)

And when one gazes into the abyss, the abyss gazes as well.

'Its time to stop worshiping gods', chaney went on earnestly, 'and aim at becoming gods. It took four and a half billion years to produce this moment and who's really awake yet?'
-RAW, The Homing Pigeons

You know Pushkin? Well, another quote from him is:
чем меньше женщину мы любим
тем легче нравимся мы ей
which in my outrageous translation would become:
the looser the way a guy loves his chick
the faster the chick may cling to his dick
