Right now, mine is:

All good fairy tales have to end. And most fairy tales have a happily-ever-after kind of ending, marked by the return of a gallant prince. But in my fairy tale, there's no glass slipper, no godmother, no mice. Just me, wishing I could turn into a pumpkin.

From the show Instant Star, Season 4, Episode "Possession"

xD I have notebooks full of quotes, too, whole notebooks each for Instant Star and Third Watch (two for Third Watch).

I love quotes....I have tons of them...notebooks and word files full....:sweat:
Anyway.....

I have a mind like a steel trap; it is rusty and illegal in 47 states

When things are going badly, they will get worse. When things are as bad as they can possibly get, the impossible will happen. And when things appear to be getting better, you have probably overlooked something.”

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift... that’s why it’s called the present.

The wheel in your head is spinning, but the hamster is obviously dead.

....I don't know where these came from....some website, and probably some T-shirts...

Guns are always the best method for a private suicide. They are more stylish looking than single-edged razor blades and natural gas has got so expensive. Drugs are too chancy. You might miscalculate the dosage and just have a good time.”

There are only two truths: the first is that the universe is greater than any single bee. Second, any single bee is greater than the universe.

that's a good one I like

If you want to say something, get a man. If you want something done, get a woman.

amen to that one!

what do you see when you look in the mirror? I? I see me holding a pair of thick, wooly socks.

I have about 23078662347623 favorite quotes, but I'll post my most favorite.

- I love you is 8 letters, but so is bullshit.

x3

-There's a time when a man needs to fight and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny's lost, the ship has sailed and that only a fool will continue. The truth is I've always been a fool.

:]

- Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise.

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

-When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.

And please note that I have no idea who said any of these lol.

I tend to like humor, but the only one I can think of at the moment is the one by Steve Martin I like about writing:

“I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.”

"the bible says thou shalt not kill, this is what i say, FU*K THAT SH*T!"

Phil: (to Eddie, about not sleeping with Janet) Please don't tell me it's because you still subscribe to Hugh Hefner's adolescent narrow definition of beauty.

From October Road, Season One, Episode "Spelling It Out"

I loved that show. I'm so angry with ABC for canceling it.

I have several quotes from Shakespeare which I like most of them being insults, I can't think of any off hand at the moment but I read alot of work by Poe and I quote from The Raven alot.

My favorite being:

Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.'

And from MacBeth:

Thine sole name blisters our tongues.

Gosh, I have so many quotes I love, it's hard to pick!

Here's one of my favourites by William Shakespeare, it's from As You Like It:

And this, our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.

And this one is from Miranda July, who is one of my favourite film writers/directors:

When I was little I had a theory that you should draw a picture using all the colors except yellow, making it as good as you could, and then, finally, after giving up, you should add yellow. And yellow had the magical property of instantly making everything come alive, it was light itself, and thus the picture came into being.

My favorite wrestler for the longest time went by Raven and quoted that a lot.

The visionary is the only true realist

said by Fredrico Fellini, it's been my favorite quote for as long as I can remember.

These are mine

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.
George Eliot
English novelist (1819 - 1880)


Character is what God and the angels know of us; reputation is what men and women think of us.
Horace Mann
US educator (1796 - 1859)

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:2

We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.
Luciano de Crescenzo

A man does not have to be an angel in order to be a saint.
Albert Schweitzer
French philosopher & physician (1875 - 1965)

God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.
T. L. Cuyler

Carlos: Girls always want the honey when other bees start buzzing around it.

Third Watch; Season 6, Episode "Broken"

I was watching One on One earlier, and it made me think of that.

Vangie: Hurt me now. Miss me later.

Third Watch; Season 1; Episode "A Thousand Points of Light"

A real hero is someone who does the right thing when no one's looking.

It was quoted on Third Watch (Episode "Rat Bastard"; Season 6), but I'm not sure where they got it from.

"I have searched my whole life for a reason to live, and here you are."
- Me to my girlfriend <3

and a couple military quotes that are just... awesome XD

"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit." - Army's magazine of preventive maintenance.

"You, you, and you ... Panic. The rest of you, come with me." - U.S. Marine Corp Gunnery Sgt.

"Any ship can be a minesweeper . Once." - don't know who

"What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots? If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, .... The pilot dies." - don't know who

If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

Einstein said that.

My friend posted this the other day and it made me LOL

Don't cry over spilled milk. Unless you spilled it on your MacBook. #deepthoughts

“They’re trying to kill me,” Yossarian told him calmly.
“No one’s trying to kill you,” Clevinger cried.
“Then why are they shooting at me?” Yossarian asked.
“They’re shooting at everyone,” Clevinger answered. “They’re trying to kill everyone.”
“And what difference does that make?”
[...]
“Who’s they?” he wanted to know. “Who, specifically, do you think is trying to murder you?”
“Every one of them,” Yossarian told him.
“Every one of whom?”
“Every one of whom do you think?”
“I haven’t any idea.”
“Then how do you know they aren’t?”
“Because...” Clevinger sputtered, and turned speechless with frustration.
Clevinger really thought he was right, but Yossarian had proof, because strangers he didn’t know shot at him with cannons every time he flew up into the air to drop bombs on them, and it wasn’t funny at all.

lol, I love Catch-22 by Joseph Heller...such a weird book. XD
This one's more serious though, still from Catch-22.

They couldn’t dominate Death inside the hospital, but they certainly made her behave. They had taught her manners. They couldn’t keep Death out, but while she was in she had to act like a lady.

"Write the story in your blood, and your bones will turn from lead to gold."

I don't remember the movie I saw this in but it was really weird. Filled with random sayings.

I have a few. All with a story behind them.

Holy Shit! Its the fucking Jew Canoe!

We were in El Salvador and we passed by a bus with the star of david ALL over it. Someone blurted out on the bus that quote.

God?! Is that you?!

I was doing a navigation exercise here in Honduras. A guy at the top of the hill yelled down "Be careful the rocks are slippery" Someone said the quote above in response to him.

Yes Jesus.

Same land nav course. We were with someone who wasn't suppose to help us. But he kept giving suggestions everytime I gave one that wasnt that safe in regards to his.

Go Fuck Yourself.

Self-explanatory for a statement.
