"A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame" ~ Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's. I love that song...

Mmmmm. I love good quotes, and I'll be watching this thread like a hawk. :D Unfortunately I've only really got two additions myself, and one of 'em is more of an anecdote.


QUOTE
A well-known scientist (some say it was the philosopher Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.

At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise."

The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?"

"You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
-A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking

"I do not feel obligated to believe that the same god who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."
-Galileo Galilei

*squeaks* YAY! PIRATES!

"Oh bugger."

"This dock is off limits to civilians."
"I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately. ... Apparently, there's some sort of high-toned and fancy to-do up at hte fort, eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen such as yourselves did not merit an invitation?"
"Someone has to make sure this dock stays off limits to civilians."
"It's a fine job, but it seems to me a ship like that makes this one here a bit superfulous, really."
"Oh, the Dauntless is the power in these waters, true engouh. But there's no ship that can match the Interceptor for speed."
"I've heard of one. It's supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable. The Black Pearl."
"There's no real ship that can match the Interceptor."
"The Black Pearl is a real ship."
"No. No it's not."
"Yes it is, I've seen it."
"You've seen it?"
"Yes!"
"You've seen a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil hell itself spat him back out?"
"No."
"No."
"But I have seen a ship with black sails."
"Oh, and no ship that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out could possibly have black sails, therefore couldn't possibly be any other ship than tha Black Pearl. Is that what you're saying?"
"No."
"Like I said, there's no real ship than can match the Intercept- Hey! You! Get away from there!"
"You don't have permission to be aboard her, mate."
"I'm sorry, it's such a pretty boat. Ship."
"Tell us what you're really doing."
"Yeah, and no lies."
"Well alright then. I confess. It is my intention to commandeer one of these hsips, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder, and pilfer my weasley black guts out."
"I said no lies."
"I think he's telling the truth."
"If he was telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us."
"Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth, even if he told it to you."
(Wow. That was entirely from memory. I know I've messed it up a tad...)

Quotses? I gots bunches.

There is nothing more dangerous to a new truth than an old error. -Geothe-

Sometimes nothin's a real cool hand. -Cool Hand Luke-

So long, and thanks for all the fish. -If you don't know where this one comes from, slap yourself. Harder. Again. That's more like it.

finally,

Si hoc legere scis, nimium eruditiones habes. -- It's latin and it translates (roughly) as follows: If you can read this, your over-educated.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
--Samuel Taylor Colerigde

'Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'
--John Keats

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another lasting chance at bliss
--Jim Morrison

"There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately no one knows what they are." --W. Somerset Maugham--

"For he does his work alone, and if he is a good enough writer he must face etarnity, or the lack of it, each day." --Earnest Hemmingway--

"Don't you wish you had a job like mine? All you have to do is think up a certain number of words! Plus, you can repeat words! And they don't even have to be true!" --Dave Barry--

"We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true." --Robert Wilensky--

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters." --Frank Lloyd Wright--

"I wrote it longer than usual because I lack the time to write it short." --Blaise Pascal--

"Omit needless words." Rule 13; Element of Style --William Strunk Jr.--

A funny story about the last quote. I guess Bill didn't think it was long enough, so he'd often repeat it three times durring his lectures.

I'm sorry, but this one has to be here:

"People people! This is a happy occaision! Let us not bicker and argue about who killed who." -Monty Python

Umm... no, that's it for now...

Lethal Ink - December 5, 2007 07:52 AM (GMT)
Yes Logan! And speaking of Monty Python,

"This isn't an agrument."
"Yes it is."
"No it isn't; it's just contradiction."
"No it isn't."
"Yes it is"
"It is not."
"It is. You just contradicted me."
"No I didn't."

I've got lots, so please bear with me:

I'd be shocked, stunned, and appalled but I really can't be bothered. -My father.

Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept them in business all these years. -Anton Szandor LaVey.

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive. -Robert Heinlein.

Alright, you primitive screw-heads, listen up! See this? This... is my boomstick! It's a twelve-gauge, double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt-blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right... shop smart. Shop S-Mart... You got that?!! -Ash from Army of Darkness.

Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king. Hail to the king, baby. -Ash from Army of Darkness.

It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it. -Elwood and Jake, The Blues Brothers.

Hey, doll. Could you scare up another round for our table over here? And tell the cook this is low grade dogfood. I've had better food at the ballgame, you know? I tell you, this steak still has marks where the jockey was hitting it. -Al Czervik, Caddyshack.

Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn for Sega. -Brodie, Mallrats.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having. -V, V For Vendetta.


...OK, that's all I've got for now. Brain just shut down. lol

"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. " --Hunter S. Thompson-- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

"Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream." --John Steinbeck-- Cannery Row

Those are my two most favorite opening lines ever. I lean more toward Thompson's, but that's only because I met him a few times in Vail. he was very likeable, if a bit on the paranoid side.

Miss.Ami - December 19, 2007 04:08 PM (GMT)

Things I say often:
"Bugger". I used to say this a LOT in grade 7.. that was 3 years ago o_O
"Oh poo". Hehe, I just say this randomly. It's not in place of a swear-word.
