Not sure if anyone said this yet-
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"
-Gandhi
EDIT: Just realized someone already said that, so here's one by Nietzsche:
"If I wanted to shake this tree with my hands I should not be able to do it. But the wind, which we do not see, tortures and bends it in whatever direction it pleases. It is by invisible hands that we are bent and tortured worst."
A few paragraphs later: "But it is with man as it is with the tree. The more he aspires to the height and light, the more strongly do his roots strive earthward, downward, into the dark, the deep - into evil."
I found those quotations myself whilst reading Zarathustra, and used them in an essay on Shakespeare's Othello.

"Though are hands are chained like they are, they haven't taken music from us yet. So that's how I'll fight. People tell me don't quit like everyone else. I wont have no fear."
"Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real."
"Let me say for the record, I am not a gangster and never have been. Im not the thief who grabs your purse. Im not the guy who jacks your car. Im not down with the people who steal and hurt others. Im just a brother who fights back."
"Imperfection is inherited, therefore we all sin, but fighting the war of sin is the greatest war of all because we all die in the end no matter how hard we fight."
"And the raps that I'm rappin to my community shouldn't be filled with rage? They shouldn't be filled with same attrocities that they gave me? The media they don't talk about it, so in my raps I have to talk about it, and it seems foreign because there's no one else talking about it."
"I don't advocate senseless violence of any human being. I'm the one who's been beat down. But I will not be a victim again."
All from 2Pac.

I've watched a dutch stand-up comedian last night ("Theo Maassen"), where he talked at one point about the human race:
"We only care about ourselves now, we only have eyes for ourselves, we don't care anymore about the big picture...
When this happens in the human body, it is called "Cancer". "
and after that sentence the entire room (and the place where he held his performance) went QUIET....
it was beautiful...
great quote...
