At the moment I'm writing an auto-biography (wasn't my idea, but it's a school assignment). I this biography I'm putting down some of my favourite quotes, and so I was wondering what your most favourite quote is, or multiple quotes. Why is it your favourite quote, does it carry some wisdom with it, do you see resemblance with your own live, or is it just so random that you like it.

Lemme know ^_^ and maybe we can inspire eachother with our quotes.

This is my favourite quote atm:

William Jennings Bryan:

And this one makes so much sense to me XD

Andy Warhol

The first that immediately springs to mind is this:

Jack Sparrow:

Especially at school I like to confuse people with long sentences that could just as easily be a few words, when I heard it, it reminded me of that, it's perfect for that situation.

I'm sure there were tonnes of quotes that I like, but they aren't in my mind at the moment, more like: the radius of the circular path of a charged particle is equal to the mass of said particle multiplied by its velocity, divided by the product of the magnetic flux density of the field and the charge of the particle... bleh

--Andy

I read this in one fo my summer assignments and it just stood out to me. It rang so true. I honestly had to stop reading for a few minutes to ponder this idea, It just felt so... strong, powerful. It felt like a universal thing that everyone knows but never really puts to words.

Then there is the Jane Austen humor. I donno but these comments of hers really had me laughing. Especially because I used to picture her time period as highly stuffy and proper. It was nice to read them. Plus we can't forget the fact that we've all thought something along the lines of her statements before.

And we can't forget the fun things that I have saved from MSN conversations...

They Fall In Love

From a Fanstory called Tainted White by 'Zara', the quote in my signature is from the same story. I love the quotes because they're filled with so much raw emotion, and I love the broken writing style.

I believe that's Stan Rice, it was from a poem in an Anne Rice book I read and I was just madly in love with it! (blush)

I am writing, or attempting to write, a story and was planning to put quotes I like in it- as such, I have four pages of quotes I like from a variety of people, including Shakespeare, Einstein, Anne Rice., Thoreau, and a bunch of people I've never heard of. Some of my favorites from my collection include:

...because I have experienced times when nothing seems real.

It reminds me of myself and to a greater degree my main roleplay character. There have been times when I'm convinced I write better when I'm in a bad mood and several of those writings focus on my character. It's hard to explain, so I apologize if it doesn't make sense.

I roleplay because I like it. My site is small, so few people actually see what I write, but as long as the site isn’t at risk of becoming inactive it doesn’t bother me.

I like that one because I'm a bit of a lazy person, definitely not in bed early or up early in the morning, and I'm glad someone sees things my way. :D Terry Pratchett is a satire writer, hilarious books that I really enjoy and he is very quotable. A few more from him:

Here's a site that you can look up more funny quotes from his books: http://www.lspace.org/books/pqf/

^_^

I don't rightly recall who said this quote, but I remember that it was on the wall at school in my language arts class. For some reason, it struck me and it's my favorite quote:

"Damn, you killed a quarter of my hedgehog"

From my website, because of just how strange (not to mention cruel) it sounds if you haven't seen it in the correct context.

Most of my favorite quotes, I don't know who said them. They're just things I pick up and pocket.

~Me (lovestruck)

~ By Mr. Joseph Epstein. This is quite possibly my favorite quote of all.

Oscar Wilde. He's a sexist pig on all accounts but I dunno, he's a genius too.

John Lennon. I've learned this true, time and time again.

i dunno.

hahaha. me.

François Fénelon

Horace.

i have others, but those are the ones i can think of at the tippity top of my head.

Thought I'd share a funny quote:

One of my friends on another RP site.

Not nearly so profound as the rest I have:

Trans. Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

- Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"Little by little, one travels far." ~ JRR Tolkein

-- Samuel Beckett

-- Paul O'Neil

Most people are other people.
Their thoughts are someone else's opinions,
their lives a mimicry,
their passions a quotation.

Oscar Wilde, De Profundis, 1905

"If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right."
- Henry Ford

"The future depends on what we do in the present." - Mahatma Gandhi

"Never give up! Never surrender!" - Galaxy Quest

``Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping-stone to greatness.``


-- my girl, Oprah Winfrey<3.


so true.

"Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems enchanted after all." -- Vincent Van Gogh. (I wanted to know where the title for the new Fall Out Boy CD came from and I fell in love with the quote.)


"When we get to Denver we can do something fun."
"Like hiking?"
"No. Go to the mall." -- Spencer Smith. (It just makes me laugh...)

"If someone tells you that you can't do something, prove them wrong." -- Unknown

~high flight, john gillespie magee jr

its one of my favourite poems ever, and part of the inspiration for me wanting to become a pilot

As an angsty teenager whose parents were extremely screwed up, I loved this quote from the book The Once and Future King. My mother does seem like she killed someone important in a past life, judging by the karma she seems to attract, and my father... well, let's just say that there's a reason I call him James rather than dad.

This is something my half sister's father (who raised me, so he is my Dad) said to me when I asked why we had a stolen radio in our car and why it was concealed in the baby seat in the backseat of the car. I've used it often since I was eight years old.

Monty Python:

<sub>Anything from the movie Garden State. Amaaaazing movie full of small quotes that just stick with you.

If anyone's ever seen it, I love when the cop's like, "When you're a cop. People really listen to you. I mean, they have to. I have a gun." XD</sub>

Garden state may have had such lines. but the plot made no sense. It had no point. At all. That's my view on why it sucked. I understand you feel differently.

Anyway, Favorite quotes? Let me just pull out my 40 page word document on quotes and get starte shall we?

Now how did the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like,huh? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like, uh...Oatmeal or Tuna fish. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take chicken for example. Maybe they couldn't tell what to make chicken taste like which is why chicken tastes like everything! - Matrix

"Those who always spew others quotes have no real thoughts of their own" - Anon

Everyone's a skeptic these days. And if you don't believe me, you just proved my point. --Dennis Miller

"OH MY GOD IT TALKS! and if it talks, it thinks, and you can't stand that!" - Carpenter(A zombie), from the game "Hunter: The Reckoning.

Innocence: A woman working at a condom factory thinking she's making sleeping bags for mice

"Auntie Em, hate you, hate Kansas - Taking the dog. --Dorothy."

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
-James (Jim) Downey, Billy Madison


That's maybe a page. i've just been randomly selecting from the word document that I liked.

"There is a thin line between genius and insanity"

I forget who said it but I absolutely love that line.

I could also revert to some Simpsons lines but I won't (happy)

That was Nny, from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, a comic by Jhonen Vasquez. It's so true...

Same comic. He was torturing a girl (Tess) and her boyfriend in his basement, because the boyfriend ruined a movie he went to see in theaters by talking through the whole thing and being mean to Nny. I love it because I can somehow see some sanity in what he's saying, even though it's pretty insane.

Dib, from Invader Zim, explaining to his pessimistic teacher why he was late. He was experiencing flashes into a spooky dimension that exists in his abnormally large head. I love this one, because I have to agree with Mrs. Bitters, sad as it may be that I view life that way.

"I love thoses moments! I like to wave at them as they pass by..."

-Jack Sparrow from POTC 2


Hehe. That is one of my all time favorite quotes. ^^ Oh, almost forgot this one..


Voldie: Oh, children! Where are you?
Harry: We're over here!
Voldie: Well, here I come.
Ron: Wait, we're a little more to the left.
Voldie: *moves to the left* Here?
Hermionie: That's right.
Harry: Perfect.
Voldie: I don't see any children...
Ron: Ready? Shoot him! *takes out machines guns and shoots Voldie*


Heh. That was from the Potter Puppet Pals. You can go to their site at potterpuppetpals.com and see the videos. I would personally watch the 'Bothering Snape' one first. ^^

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.”- Terry Pratchett

“I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.” -Winston Churchill

"I've got a jar of dirt and guess what's inside it!"-Jack Sparrow
I love both of those ! :3 My faves are often quotes that make me laugh, all of those seem to do the trick.

Most of mine are charmed and x-men hehe

Charmed:

Well those are my top charmed quotes, actually my overal top quotes, i beleve

"I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it." -An online friend of mine who goes by the name of Alex.

"I take the "the" out of psychotherapist." -Another online friend of mine who goes by the name of Kaizero

"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes. He who does not is a fool forever." -Either Confuscious or Anonymous. I can't remember.

The first two I find funny, though I'm willing to grant that they're quite...odd. As for the last one, I like it because my drumline used to make fun of me for asking a lot of questions, the answers to which were supposedly "obvious." It was all in good fun, of course.

Stewie From Faimly Guy "Damn"

Quagmire From Family Guy "Gigidi Gigidi"

"Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." - Cora from Madea's Family Reunion: The play.

"Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance." ~Sam Brown

"The only difference between myself and a madman is that I am not mad." ~Salvador Dali

"Remember, kid. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die." ~Babe Ruth, The Sandlot

"Anything that happens, happens. Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though." ~Douglas Adams

"Follow The Format" - Taking Back Sunday.

I find that to be a great quote because of the message there. If you believed it it certainly wouldn't be a lie to you, would it? If something was always repeated it would become the norm, and no longer a mistake.

"At This Velocity" - Thursday

I just found those few lines of that Thursday song to be very poetic. Could it mean that two people have no value in the calculation of life? There are so many ways it could be understood, but that's the way I see it.

There are a lot of other quotes I know, but none hit me more than song lyrics. I could post a ton of 'em up here by various bands I'm in love with, but there's just too many lines in too many songs, and we might be here forever. :happy:

This are some quotes that i heard from watching. Never got in to it on the details on where it really comes from.

Time Machine:

ÜberMorlock: We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.

Stargate SG1:

Senator Kinsey: If they're so strong, why did you switch sides in the first place?
Teal'c: Because, what is right cannot be measured in strength.

----
Also i had another one about Negative Influence and by knowing yourself it wont affect you where Teal'c and Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell are talking in the end of the episode.

Here are a couple from House, my newly fave show
