I just spent a couple hours reading through Satoshi's 1,000+ posts and plucked out my four favorites:(Ive been working on bitcoins design) since 2007. At some point I became convinced there was a way to do this without any trust required at all and couldnt resist to keep thinking about it.Lost coins only make everyone elses coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.Sorry to be a wet blanket. Writing a description for (bitcoin) for general audiences is bloody hard. Theres nothing to relate it to.Im sure that in 20 years there will either be very large (bitcoin) transaction volume or no volume.I've got a couple dozen more here: http://crypt.la/2014/01/06/satoshi-nakamoto-quotes/

You left out the single most famous Satoshi quote: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." The famous comment on the very first bitcoin transaction, by Satoshi Nakamoto himself. Seems to indicate the reason why Bitcoin exists in the first place. The very motivation behind it. Good stuff! -B-

"Yes, [we will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography,] but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years. Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own."

Satoshi is probably* a Brit**.* Yes. Also a master at track covering, but across 1000+ posts, maybe not, especially when focused on software/crypto issues.** Yes. Yes. Heard it before? Stop reading this then!
