When looking for some good quotes for my sig, I ended up reading tons and tons of good stuff. So heres your chance to post funny, smart, sad or just about any type of quote from your favorite Author, Artist, Actor er who ever. All I ask is that its not a quote from someone in game or something stupid like that. ok let me start off. (aside from the awesome ones in my sig) The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places. Ernest Hemingway A man can be destroyed but not defeated. Ernest Hemingway "It's easy to be miserable. Being happy is tougher - and cooler." Thom Yorke There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility is being superior to your formal self. Thom Yorke Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say? Kurt Vonnegut |

"Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway." -Mary Kay Ash "Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once." -William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar "In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice." -Richard Bach "Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." -Thomas Jefferson This is my absolute favorite. I heard it a while ago. Its a famous Jewish teaching: Every person should carry two pieces of paper, one in your right hand pocket and the other in your left. On one of the pieces, you write the verse “I am but dusk and ashes.” On the other piece, you write a very different verse “Bishvili nivra haolam/For my sake the world was created.” |

That's when you know you found somebody special. When you can just shut the fuck up for a minute, and comfortably share silence. ~Pulp Fiction~ some- times there's a man--I won't say a hee-ro, 'cause what's a hee-ro?--but sometimes there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here-- sometimes there's a man who, wal, he's the man for his time'n place, he fits right in there--and that's the Dude. ~big lebowski~ |

I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it. Garrison Keillor (1942 - ) Everything you can imagine is real. Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973) Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious. Brendan Gill Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992) Life is a sexually transmitted disease. R. D. Laing Love is not blind - it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less. Rabbi Julius Gordon Love is an irresistable desire to be irresistably desired. Robert Frost (1874 - 1963) |

Not quite a quote but I LOVE this song: DANCE HALL CRASHERS "Cricket" I never thought about it before Just close your eyes and ignore The dark that troubles you most Don't let it be here And if you see it again Hold your breath and pretend That you're already dead You'll never be alone I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall 'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be Anywhere but with me Forget the story you heard Why are you worried about the dirt? I don't think that you'll mind When it's your time 'Cause I will be there with you And we'll figure out what to do So that you don't get bored You'll never be alone I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall 'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be Anywhere but with me So try to sleep with a smile Promise I'll wait a while To make sure that you moved on You won't be lost I will always hold your hand, I'll never let you fall 'Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all If you're scared, just think of me, 'cause you know I'd never let you be Anywhere but with me The big thing about this song is you really need to hear it if you have never heard DHC. They have two female singers that have the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and they flow together so good... |

You're drinking Jack Daniels, and when you drink Jack, you start in with that...

These are some that I have heard: The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor. The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur. You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. It is what we learn after we think we know it all, that counts. Without trust, words become the hollow sound of a wooden gong. With trust, words become life itself. These are from two of the greatest coaches and teachers of all time: Vince Lombardi and John Wooden |
