heard this this evening while watching a film and thought it was beautiful:
The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
I'm a hopeless optimist.

That's a very sweet quote :)

I quite like this one myself, and it even has a small hunter link (when it come to camping)

having trouble finding who said that one too.

however, I'd much prefer inspirational and positive quotes...

I know I didn't specify. Silly of me to assume that people would naturally continue in the same vein as the original post.

I apologize. I kind of thought it was funny myself. Anyway, I'll try to find something a bit more inspirational.

I have two favorites that I like to use. Both are from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.

“The most beautiful people in the world are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

My favorite quote is in my signature...it's from Mark Twain's short story The War Prayer. There's also a Carl Sandburg poem that starts, "I cried over beautiful things, knowing no beautiful thing lasts." Neither of them is particularly inspirational, though.

OK, here's one: in the first chapter of John, there's a line that's usually translated as "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." But in the old King James version, the line is:

"And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."

I just love that image--a light shining out, and the darkness just staring at and saying 'Whot?' :D

I just finished the movie Tokyo Godfathers and something one of the characters said really caught my attention:

"Being able to speak freely, is the lifeblood of love."


and then I like this quote by one of my favorite poets:

`I don't love life as such; for me it begins to signify, that is to acquire weight and meaning only when it is transformed, that is - in art. If I were to be taken beyond the ocean, into Paradise, and forbidden to write, I would refuse the ocean and Paradise." - Marina Tsvetaeva

''According to the song, Rudolph's nose is shiny, which means it reflects rather than emits light. Useless for navigating fog.'' - Neil deGrasse Tyson

''The most astounding fact... is the knowledge that the atoms that comprise life on earth, that make up the human body are traceable to the crucibles that cooked light elements in their core, under extreme temperature and pressure. These stars, when unstable in their later years, collapsed and exploded, scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy. Guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. These ingredients became part of gas clouds, which condense and collapse, forming the next generation of solar systems - stars with orbiting planets. And these planets, now have the ingredients for life. So, when I look up at the night sky... I know that yes, we are part of the universe. We are in this universe. But perhaps more important than both of those facts... is that the universe is in us.'' - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Yeah, I like his quotes quite a bit. And I remember a quote that was ''Extinction doesn't have to be forever''. I don't know who said it, but I remember it.

oh wow, TheDoomcookie, awesome quotes. Love every one.
I also love animals.
In my case, I think almost all of those could apply to my cat, whose really more dog-like than cat-like.
