Quotes. Post Your Favs

Hey all. I don't know about you guys but some of my greatest motivation comes from quotes. So as far as i can tell [heres the part i get flamed for being wrong] there isn't a forum on this yet... so i made one.

"Without music, Life would be a mistake" - Friedrich Nietzsche

Quentin Tarentino - "Sure Kill Bill's a violent movie. But it's a Tarentino movie. You don't go to a Metallica concert and ask the fuckers to turn the music down"

"If you can't fix it with duct tape you haven't used enough."

"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." -George Bush

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." - Albert Einstein

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." - Albert Einstein

Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils ... - Louis Hector Berlioz

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." -Abraham Lincoln

"How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four; calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg." -Abraham Lincoln

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands." -Anne Frank

"Imagination is more important than knowledge" -Albert Einstein

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" -Wayne Gretzky

"A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value." -Isaac Asimov

"All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing." -Edmond Burke

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference." -Eisle Wiesel

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 and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasm; the great devotions; and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.-Teddy Roosevelt


“Those who say a thing cannot be done should get out of the way of the one who is doing it.”-Chinese Proverbs

“There is no Death!
What seems so is transition;
This life of Mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.”-1889 Author Unknown


There are more but this is all I could think of right now.

Your quotes are alright, but HERE'S one to top them all:

"i would think the bathtub would be the place to do it or have lots of plastic sheets down with towels. i really believe it is a dominance thing or from the ones that like it done to them they are subs. i would guess if it is a woman doing it to a man it would be just a little harder to really "aim" where you want to. Hey to eachs own on what they enjoy in fetishes. I like to hear about others fetishes. i am a freak and i know it" - renegadepatio

"If it had been easy for Romeo to get to Juliet, nobody would have cared. Same goes for Cyrano and Don Quixote and Gatsby and their respective paramours. What captures the imagination is watching men throw themselves at a brick wall over and over again, and wondering if this is the time that they won't be able to get back up."

Jodi Picoult- Vanishing Acts

Homer Simpson:

- How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

I thought I'd omit that one, most people know it. As much as I don't hate Malcolm X, when I heard those were his last words, I almost pissed my pants laughing.
