Quotes

What are your favourite quotes?

Mine have pretty much always been the same,

"Home is where your heart is" and "Make every day your masterpiece!"

"Life is just a chance to grow a soul" - A.Powell Davies.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge

"I don't fit the mould. I am real, too colourful to conceal. Imperfect is the new perfect." - Caitlin Crosby

The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid - ever - because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people.

'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.'

It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that - ever notice that? - and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy bigger guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
Bill Hicks

I like a lot of quotes but my favourites are I guess
"Pleasure was created for a beautiful body, torture - for a beautiful soul"- (Oscar Wild)
and
"Every time you feel fear, you get a chance to discover something new" (I heard it in a movie... don't remember how it was called though xD)
and lots of others I can't remember right now xD

I had this whole Word document with amazing quotes but I accidentally deleted it

"We can fly as high as we believe is possible and when we fall, there will be a soft pink cloud made out of cotton candy catching us." -Kerli

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." -Wayne Dyer

"You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you. That's where I'll be waiting." -Peter Pan

"What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction."
— Chuck Palahniuk

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."

"What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad."

"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

"If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

"What is "real"? How do you define "real"?"

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill -- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill -- you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

"I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."

"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream, Neo? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? "

"The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."

"Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony."

The Matrix

Best ones:

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Neo: Why do my eyes hurt?
Morpheus: You've never used them before.

Morpheus: I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.

Oracle: I'd ask you to sit down, but, you're not going to anyway. And don't worry about the vase.
Neo: What vase?
[Neo turns to look for a vase, and as he does, he knocks over a vase of flowers, which shatters on the floor.]
Oracle: That vase.
Neo: I'm sorry--
Oracle: I said don't worry about it. I'll get one of my kids to fix it.
Neo: How did you know?
Oracle: Ohh, what's really going to bake you're noodle later on is, would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?

Morpheus: The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Leave emotions at the door

''People are always complaining that the world is shit, the government is shit, but they don’t think that they have themselves the responsibility too.'' - Mark Jansen (Epica)

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe

"I believe that love is the most powerful weapon; not because I'm naive, but because I already tried fighting with everything else and it didn't work." - Kerli

"To find your soulmate, you must be true to yourself. If you do things that take you away from your essence and the best version of yourself...how will you find each other?"

I read it yesterday in a magazine and I thought it was real

I have loads...but the one I live by is "Honey is thicker than blood."

I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you stranger.
Why so serious?
See, madness as you know is like gravity. All it takes is a little push.
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain.

They're all from The Dark Knight.

Hi again. Whats up?

"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is."

"Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is."

"All the things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind."

"Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within."

"Humanity is now faced with a stark choice: Evolve or die. … If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction."

"Don't let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment."

Eckhart Tolle

If you want more, feel free to read some of his books, like "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" or "The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment"

"If the way down is beautiful then the end will be beautiful as well." - Jessica Jung

"If life hands you an apple, don't bitch for pie."

The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense.

That is so true, good one.

"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." Not sure who said it first but I love it.

Just about any quote from the Dalai Lama is great as well. There's too many good ones for me to list.

Thats from "Sucker Punch" by old german officier with scoped K98 rifle. You can see it at the end of trailer.

I know that much <333 Tis where I first heard it but I looked it up to try and find out if it was said anywhere before that and there were a few 'ideas' but nothing for sure that I could find. ^__^

Bahaha, it's okay. I love it too! I liked it so much I got all excited and tried to "like" it like on Facebook xD Then I realized I was on a forum~

Oh my gosh. I collect quotes. Every now and then I go mad and hunt like a hundred of them. So here's the ones I have on Facebook [don't strain yer eyeballs haha]

#############

“It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.”
- Henry Rollins

..."Studies show:
Intelligent girls are more depressed
Because they know
What the world is really like
Don't think for a beat it makes it better
When you sit her down and tell her
Everything is gonna be all right
She knows in society she either is
A devil or an angel with no in between
She speaks in the third person
So she can forget (that she's me)"
- Emilie Autumn, 'Opheliac'

About Pavlov's undocumented experiments with cats:
"Day One: Rang bell, cat fucked off. (Oh dear.)
Day Two: Rang bell, cat went and answered door.
Day Three: Rang bell, cat said he had eaten earlier. (Cheeky bugger.)
Day Four: Went to ring bell, but cat had stolen batteries.
Final Day – Day Five: Went and rang bell with new batteries, but cat put his paw on bell so it only made a thunk noise.
Then cat rang his OWN bell.

...I ate food. "
-Eddie Izzard

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
-Gandhi

###########

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

-Oscar Wilde

Don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.
—Cale Yarborough

#############

I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.
—Edith Sitwell

#################

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
—Ellen Goodman

"Eat when you're hungry, sleep where it's dry. No one is ever what they seem."
-Tag, The Wild Road

################

"I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation."
~ Hegel

################

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”

“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good”

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

"In my world everyone is a pony who eats butterflies and poops out rainbows."

"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!"

"Writing simply means no dependent clauses, no dangling things, no flashbacks, and keeping the subject near the predicate. We throw in as many fresh words we can get away with. Simple, short sentences don't always work. You have to do tricks with pacing, alternate long sentences with short, to keep it vital and alive.... Virtually every page is a cliffhanger--you've got to force them to turn it."

-Dr. Suess

################

"I think if human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween. Wouldn't life be more interesting that way? And now that I think about it, why the heck don't they? Who made the rule that everybody has to dress like sheep 364 days of the year? Think of all the people you'd meet if they were in costume every day. People would be so much easier to talk to - like talking to dogs. "

"My mind then wandered. I thought of this: I thought of how every day each of us experiences a few little moments that have just a bit more resonance than other moments—we hear a word that sticks in our mind—or maybe we have a small experience that pulls us out of ourselves, if only briefly—we share a hotel elevator with a bride in her veils, say, or a stranger gives us a piece of bread to feed to the mallard ducks in the lagoon; a small child starts a conversation with us in a Dairy Queen—or we have an episode like the one I had with the M&M cars back at the Husky station.
And if we were to collect these small moments in a notebook and save them over a period of months we would see certain trends emerge from our collection—certain voices would emerge that have been trying to speak through us. We would realize that we have been having another life altogether; one we didn’t even know was going on inside us. And maybe this other life is more important than the one we think of as being real—this clunky day-to-day world of furniture and noise and metal. So just maybe it is these small silent moments which are the true story-making events of our lives."

"At least when you're young you're also stupid."

"Letting go of randomness is one of the hardest decisions a person can make."

"It starts out young- you try not be different just to survive- you try to be just like everyone else- anonymity becomes reflexive- and then one day you wake up and you've become all those other people- the others- the something you aren't. And you wonder if you can ever be what it is you really are. Or you wonder if it's too late to find out."

"Imagine you are sitting down in a chair and on a screen before you you are shown a bloody, ripping film of yourself undergoing surgery. The surgery saved your life. It was pivotal in making you you. But you don't remember it. Or do you? Do we understand the events that make us who we are? Do we ever understand the factors that make us do the things we do?
When we sleep at night - when we walk across a field and see a tree full of sleeping birds - when we tell small lies to our friends - when we make love - what acts of surgery are happening to our souls - what damage and healing and shock are we going through that we will never be able to fathom? What films are generated that we will never be shown?"

— Douglas Coupland

Woah, you really collect them! And YAY for Emilie Autumn

"Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence."

i sadly do not remember who said this......hmmm.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind

-William Shakespeare

Don't cry because it's over.
Smile because it happened.
- Dr. Seuss

I love the quote Spekt told me, I dont know where he got it from but its so true.

"Why do you try so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out."

"I would die for you. But I will not live for you." - from "The perks of being a wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky

MaryCourage wrote:Just gonna slip in some Dumbledore quotes
"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

"People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right."

Love this!

Here is another quote from him: "Help will always be given at Hogwarts to students who deserve it."

And I don't know if he said this or not but...: "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."

One of my faves from another author: "Don't think or judge... just listen..." (Sarah Dessen (Just Listen))
