Doesn't fit your tattoo idea, and they're definitely not typically inspirational, but you did ask for favourite quotes:
"Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!”
This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it’s still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for."
Also by Douglas Adams,
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?"
“Ford!" he said, "there's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out.”
Then, some Oscar Wilde
“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
“Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.”
