My favorite popular quotes are the ones that are borrowed from Shakespeare but stripped of all context, so they're commonly read as meaning something completely different. Read books, or essays, or at least the whole dang poem (the quoted "The Second Coming" is really short!). It's nearly impossible to pack any kind of meaningful insight into a couple sentences.
