Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Mine is Warren Zevon's schtick, put up when he died.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

My avatar is the great Steve McQueen pointing a gun at you.

I literally had never noticed the gun.

For mine...how many flags have modern weaponry on them?

Mine's a random girl from when I posted girlie images on languish. I changed my avatar fairly frequently to random things back then and this is the last one before I stopped bothering.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

The idea that my guy is easy is mildly offensive.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I think I was playing FO4 when I last changed mine. It's a laser rifle, my favourite weapon in the game. I also enjoy playing with lasers at work, so it fits rather nicely.

Mine is the Brain from the Planet Arous; a truly wonderful movie from 1957 in which a disembodied brain tries to conquer earth, but is undone by his own hubris (and vulnerability to axes.)  It contains memorable lines like:

QuoteI will return to my planet Arous, and through its vast intellect, I will become master of the universe. After I'm gone, your Earth will be free to live out its miserable span of existence, as one of my satellites, and that's how it's going to be.

and

QuoteWell, earthling. Tomorrow, there will be a new world. You people have small minds. You are unable to grasp the importance of today's events. You are about to succeed where Caesar, Napoleon, and Hitler have failed. Through me, you will have ruled the world. But I will rule the universe.

I adopted it after some bit of awkward conversation on the forum which made it sound like I was a disembodied brain.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Charles Ponzi's mug shot.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

The hero dog, Laika, of course.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Curling rocks.

Every time the winter olympics come around you lot are always fascinated by curling, which is a sport I have played for years (I haven't for the last 3-4 years, having switched over to hockey instead).

I would probably change it, but it seems like people have issues when they try to change their avatar so I have kept it the same.

Mine is (supposedly) Lucullus.

Sure he supported Sulla, but he was a pretty good general and he put on a damn good dinner.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
