Re: Favourite quote
I'm a huge HP nerd, and this is possibly the best quote I've ever heard.
As a football player, this also rings as one of my favorite quotes.
"No, it ain't, coach. In all due respect, you demanded more of us. You demanded perfection. Now, I ain't saying that I'm perfect, 'cause I'm not. And I ain't gunna never be. None of us are. But we have won every single game we have played till now. So this team is perfect. We stepped out on that field that way tonight. And, if it's all the same to you, Coach Boone, that's how we wanna leave it." Remember the Titans
"You cannot judge me, I am Justice itself! We were meant for more than this, to protect the innocent. But, if our precious laws bind you all to inaction, then I will no longer stand as your brother." - Tyrael

"If you take [a copy of] the Christian Bible and put it out in the wind and the rain, soon the paper on which the words are printed will disintegrate and the words will be gone. Our bible IS the wind and the rain”
- spoken by an anonymous Native American woman
"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.
We are more than the sum of our knowledge, we are the products of our imagination. "
Ancient Proverb
And being a cat fanatic I have to include some of my favorites pertaining to them:
"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat."
- Mark Twain
With the qualities of cleanliness, affection, patience, dignity, and courage that cats have, how many of us, I ask you, would be capable of becoming cats?
- Fernand Mery
The smallest feline is a masterpiece.
- Leonardo da Vinci
The dog may be wonderful prose, but only the cat is poetry.

Just makes my head spin every time. I like it.“Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”
I only wish I was that optimistic."I didn't fail, I found 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb; I only need to find one way to make it work."
Always be kind to your pets... or else.

"Life has no meaning, you just have to live as though it does."
It wasn't meant to be cynical, but rather to point out that even if life did have a "meaning" we aren't truly capable of determining it. But having Purpose is still very important in living a fulfilling life. I like that.

Ooh, a very memorable line from The Crow. I've always been fond of it as well.Jangalian wrote:Not really an inspiration quote, but I've always liked, and mind you this is long remembered fragment thing, but "In the city, where angels fear to hover and devils come to croon, the lady Night lets down her black narcotic hair under a yellow opium moon." Just like the rich imagery that it calls up.

Re: Favourite quote
― Tom Waits
“My kids are starting to notice I'm a little different from the other dads. "Why don't you have a straight job like everyone else?" they asked me the other day.
I told them this story:
In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, "Look at me...I'm tall, and I'm straight, and I'm handsome. Look at you...you're all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you." And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, "Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest." So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day.”
― Tom Waits

"It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone." Marilyn Monroe
"If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little." George Carlin
"Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own." Henry Rollins (Sums up me for most of my life.)
"I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone." Audrey Hepburn (Sums up me for most of the day.)
"Hey, do you mind if I tell you a story? One you might not have heard. All the elements in your body were forged many, many millions of years ago in the heart of a far away star that exploded and died. That explosion scattered those elements across the desolations of deep space. After so, so many millions of years these elements came together to form new stars and new planets. And on and on it went. The elements came together and burst apart forming shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings. Until, eventually, they came together to make you. You are unique in the universe." Doctor Who
(Yeah I know it's sad I'm quoting Doctor Who but I really like this one. He is talking to a little girl about to sacrifice herself to a monster and telling her that there is one of each of us and there will never be another like us, ever again.) "Getting rid of that existence isn't a sacrifice, it is a waste!" (I think that applies to everyone.)
"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night." Edgar Allan Poe
"That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful." Edgar Allan Poe
"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity." Edgar Allan Poe (This one always makes me smile.)
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely." John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
"We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others." Will Rogers
These are my favorites, well most of them but listing all of them would take up most of the post's page.
