Here are three quotes that immediately came to mind.

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe." (Carl Sagan).

Carl Sagan is subtly exaggerating the words 'from scratch'. In order to make an apple pie, you need the ingredients, i.e., apples, flour, spices, eggs, sugar, and etcetera. If you go beyond just simply obtaining these ingredients from your local supermarket, these ingredients were respectively produced and manufactured using raw materials extracted from their respective source. And whether if its plant-based or organism-based source, each element can be simplified to their atomic organic components actively functioning together, and so on and so on.

This is how I interpreted this quote. Indeed, baking an apple is moderately easy, but in essence, it requires a massive number of prerequisite stages. Similarly, we can all achieve absolutely anything we aim for, but it requires a due diligence.

"I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk." (song lyric by Mr. Funkee of Lords of the Underground; later popularized by Notorious B.I.G. in the song, "Machine Gun Funk")

In this context, the word 'funk' represents music. For this particular quote, I interpreted 'funk' as beyond just music and instead, symbolizing art of all forms from auditory to visual. For the past 20 years as an aspiring creative, I've sacrificed a lot for the sake of art -- mentally, physically, financially, and etcetera. There's not one moment I regret and I foresee pursuing my creative purpose until my death. Now, if only I can figure out I how I can live off it.

"I'm never telling you my bitshares account name!" (Scuzzy)

I believe this quote is self-explanatory. I'm not sure who this mystical character is, but you've got to commend him for his steadfast position.
