Great quotes Post your favorites.
Just though I would start something like this. Just post your favorite quote(s). They don't have to be profound or anything and they can be from whomever famous or not. Just curious to see how this goes.
Heres a few of mine.
"America is the only country where you go hunting on a full stomach" Chris Rock Never scared comedy special.
"If Bill Gates woke up tomorrow with Oprahs money he'd jump out a :soapbx:window". Chris Rock Never scared comedy special.
The rest are from General George S. Patton a true American hero. :salute::salute:
"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his"
"Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men"
"As I walk through the valley of death I fear no one, for I am the meanest mother :soapbx: in the valley!
Hope you enjoy. :)

Also love:

Re: Great quotes Post your favorites.
You know it's funny. One of my favorite quotes of all time comes from South Park.
Butters; "Well yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid."

Nope. Grammar is over-rated. It's easier just to do basic typing, or rather not using caps at all.
BTW I mean't posts that throw an original thread off subject. Especially when some people have no clue about the things they ramble.

Re: Great quotes Post your favorites.
Chuck Palahniuk is one of my favourite authors. He writes provocative, compelling books that completely just suck you into his world. One of his books, Invisible Monsters, holds a special place in my excuse for a heart. The central character, an attention starved ex model at one point declares..."If I can't be beautiful, I want to be invisible."
And for some reason, this quote has always stuck out at me. It's such a blunt, daring decision.
Also, from his most famous book of all, Fight Club, every single thing that damn Tyler Durden says is amazing.
"It's only after you've lost everything," Tyler says, "that you're free to do anything."
Other quotes from books...
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." - Atticus Finch, To Kill A Mockingbird
"None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me. " - Rorschach, Watchmen. I am a huge Watchmen geek. Everything that Rorschach says is EPIIIIIIC.

I am actually reading this book right now and read that passage this morning but didn't it go, "Freedom to say two plus two equals five?"
Now I'll have to go look.

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." - John Lennon

It's just that the translations have gone wrong." - John Lennon
“No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.” - Bob Dylan

Re: Great quotes Post your favorites.
One of my FAVORITE quotes is from a song by Slipknot. Don't poke fun at me for liking them please! :wuv:
I don't mind being ogled, ridiculed
Made to feel miniscule
If you consider the source, it's kinda pitiful
The only thing you really know about me is...
...that's all you'll ever know
Being an online gamer for almost 4 years, that lyric has always stuck with me. Also, one that I personally live by...
If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself.
This is why NO ONE cleans my home!

Ok, in a movie frame of mind tonight. Nothing profound, just funny.
Half of the movie Twister-
"She did not marry your penis, ok, she didn't only marry your penis."
I love that movie, can recite all the lines right along with it. So many quoteable lines!
Monty Python, how can you not love Monty Python!
from Life with Brian
Brian: Please, please, please listen! I've got one or two things to say.
The Crowd: Tell us! Tell us both of them!
Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals!
The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!
Brian: You're all different!
The Crowd: Yes, we ARE all different!
Man in crowd: I'm not...
The Crowd: Sch!
