Favourite Quotes

July 17 2014

Following on from dirtywet4u's topic "Favourite line from a song?", I was wondering what people's favourite quotes in general were? Admittedly, some will be song lyrics, but I wanted to open it up to Books,Movies,People,etc as well.It can be from anywhere and anyone; two of my favourites are: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it” - Ferris Bueller "The problem with quotes on the internet, is that you can't always be sure of their authenticity" - Abraham Lincoln Mr R_T

    I LOVE that second quote, hilarious! On a less-hilarious but more-inspirational 'girl power' ish note, I love this quote: "I am a woman with thoughts and questions and shit to say. I say if I'm beautiful. I say if I'm strong. You will not determine my story — I will. I will speak and share and fuck and love and I will never apologize to the frightened millions who resent that they never had it in them to do it." Amy Schumer. Fuck yeah. Also too many quotes from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde to even mention. Jess xx

    I love quoting Oscar Wilde. But for this thread maybe a little George Orwell. ' All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.', is a favourite. I also like, 'Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments.'.

    Some people look at things & say why? I dream of things that never where & say why not> George Bernard Shaw. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

    Every saint has a past, Every sinner has a future......... Your life is the result of the choices you make, if you don't like your life, it's time to start making better choices......... I have already been through hell, so give it your best shot. Not only will I survive, I will win........ I have found the key to happiness, stay the hell away from assholes...... You can't hang out with negative people and expect to live a positive life...... Don't be a woman that needs a man, be a woman that a man needs..... Good thing come to those who go out and fucking earn it.......💋 just some of my favourites.

    If I hadn't read it when I was a pregnant teen I think my life would never have turned out to be such an adventure.... I actually had a case of wine sent to Douglas Adams to thank him - just before his death :( Two quotes: My own strategy is to find a car, or the nearest equivalent, which looks as if it knows where it's going and follow it. I rarely end up where I was intending to go, but often I end up somewhere I needed to be. What was the Sherlock Holmes principle? 'Once you have discounted the impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.' I reject that entirely. The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks. How often have you been presented with an apparently rational explanation of something that works in all respects other than one, which is just that it is hopelessly improbable? Your instinct is to say 'Yes, but he or she simply wouldn't do that.' Dirk was unused to making such a minuscule impact on anybody. He checked to be sure that he did have his huge leather coat and his absurd red hat on and that he was properly and dramatically silhouetted by the light of the doorway. That guy was awesome!!!!

Dear Lord, if you can't make me skinny, please make all my friends fat. I'm not sure who said these quotes, but they're ones I've seen and have kept in mind.

    “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged “So she thoroughly taught him that one cannot take pleasure without giving pleasure, and that every gesture, every caress, every touch, every glance, every last bit of the body has its secret, which brings happiness to the person who knows how to wake it. She taught him that after a celebration of love the lovers should not part without admiring each other, without being conquered or having conquered, so that neither is bleak or glutted or has the bad feeling of being used or misused.”― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
