Favourite quotes and chat thread!

Hey all. =3

I'm re-new here (was a member AGES ago, then faded into the distance) and am dying to meet some decent teenagers my own age-ish.

This last happened: Tuesday the 7th of never.

Give me some hope that there are decent kids out there!

So what are your favourite quotes? Biblical, non-biblical, satirical, sarcastic, funny, uplifting...take your pick!

Stay and chat, I'd love to discuss things.

My favourite quotes are:

"What is there in this world that makes living truly worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
"CATS." he said. "CATS ARE NICE."

"And then Jack chopped down what was the world’s last beanstalk, adding murder and ecological terrorism to the theft, enticement and trespass charges already mentioned and all the giant’s children didn’t have a daddy any more. But he got away with it and lived happily ever after without so much as a guilty twinge about what he had done. Which proves that you can be excused just about anything if you’re a hero, because no-one asks inconvenient questions."

DEATH: HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
Susan: Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little -
DEATH: YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
Susan: So we can believe the big ones?
DEATH: YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
Susan: They’re not the same at all!
DEATH: YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER, AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET, YOU TRY TO ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD. AS IF THERE IS SOME … SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
Susan: Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point -
DEATH: MY POINT EXACTLY.

All Terry Pratchett quotes!

Hey There !
I'm not quite in your age group, But I'll be 15 in March.. so.. I guess that works . (;

Here's one of my favorite quotes:

"A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others."
-Ayn Rand

Hey, I'm Ty. Welcome to the forums, sometimes they're sort of active, sometimes not. Haha, but oh well.

Anyways, my favorite quotes would be:
"d'you think the end of the world is coming?

The preacher man says it's the end of time...he says that America's rivers are going dry. The interest is up, the stock market's down. You guys have to be careful walking around here this late at night... this... this is the perfect place to get jumped.

But d'you think the end of the world is coming?

No. So says the preacher man but... I don't go by what he says."- Providence by Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

"Only fear denies faith."- Unknown.

Hey, I'm Ty. Welcome to the forums, sometimes they're sort of active, sometimes not. Haha, but oh well.

I know what you mean. XD Being out of school and out of things to do, I...

...I refresh pages a lot.

And sleep.

Another quote I really like, although it's not really a quote, shows up a lot in the book I'm in.

"According to the writings of Wen the Eternally Surprised..."

I need to preface everything with this.

"According to the writings of Wen the Eternally Surprised, I want some nachos."

Another quote coming your way ! :

"The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises."
-Leo Buscaglia

I know what you mean. XD Being out of school and out of things to do

I agree with that one . I'm constantly trying to keep my grades up... So by the time I get online, I'm Exhausted ..

Welcome again!

A few I like are:

'And all the while I sit and think,
Of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet,
And voices at the door.'
-Tolkien

'In a landslide,
I can hear you,
Hear you walk away.'
-Damien Jurado (song Montesano)

'Finally there is clarity and there is purpose after all,
But every night ends the same,
As I'm collapsing once more by your side,
Finally there is clarity: this tiny life is making sense,
And every drop numbs the both of us,
But I alone am staggering.'
-Ben Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie)

'We try not to be in a hurry to get where we are going with the music. Things are so immediate, so fast; the gratification is there immediately in our culture. We feel there is an art to listening to music. A lot of us don’t do that anymore; we don’t take time to listen. We don’t buy whole albums; we buy one song at a time. So yea, in that sense we are completely the antithesis, we are completely countercultural in the sense that we are still trying to make records and still trying to make a whole body of work that requires you to sit down, shut up and listen.

For those music-heads that take the time to do that, it’s rewarding. And for others who can’t get into that mindset … they really don’t get it. Some people say, “I don’t get it, it moves too slow.” And that’s fine with us—that just means they’re not meant to be our audience.'
-Hammock

...And many more, haha.

................................. SO. ADORABLE.

Oh, aren't they? Got them a bigger box today. About two hours ago, Queen Delilah (female cats are queens, y'see! so fitting, too) picked up her little pastel kitten, Sunday, and started carrying him about. I got her a smaller box, she moved him and one of her other kittens, Matilda, into that box...forgetting about Sebastian and Susan Sto Helit. I moved them back into her box, got my big flanno' jacket hot out of the dryer and draped it about them. Warm, happy kitties!
