What is a quote that made you question life or ponder your own life?

I loved Byron Katie's quote, '...and nothing is true, believe it or not'.. Wow what our 'mind' thinks is truth is not. I loved it and it is very powerful...Interested in anyone who has a great quote!

    Ecclesiastes was a right misery; he probably thought everyone else was as well.

    "Sidewalk scenes
    And black limousines
    Some living,
    Some standing alone."
