Favorite Quotes?

[killzonea59]

I think its amazing how many people create quotes that can mean so much in such little words. Quotes are the most interesting metaphors and similies this world has to better understand society and life itself.

So to start it off, I'll give you my own quote I came up with a year ago.
I cherish it.
Life is like a rock, it won't always be perfect and polished, sometimes you have take the dull things in life....and polish them yourself and make the best of it =]

[Espadon]

The most impacting quotes in my life were pretty mundane, not by anyone famous.

"You're only the best of the worst"

"If you can't finish this, you'll never finish anything."

[demoniac93]

"You're only the best of the worst"

Care to share who that came from?

As to my favorites, here are a few of 'em:

"Democracy is when two wolves and a sheep meet to decide who is for dinner
Liberty is when the sheep has a gun."

"As life gets longer, awful feels softer.
Well it feels pretty soft to me.
And if it takes shit to make bliss,
then I feel pretty blissful"

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move."

"I do not kill with my gun.  He who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his Father.
...I aim with my mind.
...I kill with my heart." 

"The best chance for a glimpse of heaven is on the way to hell"

"You push a man for long enough, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back"

I like the one in my signature.

[SamL]

" Ability is nothing without opportunity "
" A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at. "
" Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successfull personality and duplicate it. "

[PQ]

"Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right"

Might have something to do with the fact that I live in Amsterdam

There's an excerpt from "I'll Keep Your Secrets" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra that gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

"I'll be around when there's no reason left to carry on, and every dream you've ever had is gone, and the dark is deep and black without a sound, and every star has been dragged to the ground.  Know at that moment I will be around."

Here's the song; the line is at 2:45.

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you dont talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to



The piano has been drinking
Heavily
The piano has been drinking
not me, not me, not me, not me, not me

Enjoying the small things.

I'll explain..
Because we live to experience something good and big, and even if that something big has ended we still try to re-live that moment or just have the same fun from it..
And sometimes we try so hard that we forget about the small things in the world.

Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints in the moon

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

"Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right"

Might have something to do with the fact that I live in Amsterdam

Or the fact that those are lyrics from Three Little Birds by Bob Marley
