I am in a quote phase right now for some odd reason that is unidentified. Here. you can post some of your favorites- be they moving, intelligent, insightful. . .

Here are some of the ones I've been focusing on recently:

In this world, two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

-Albert Einstein

Never treat someone in a way that you wouldn't treat yourself; and never make someone do something you wouldn't do yourself.

-Scylla

I was smiling today, I smiled yesterday, and will smile tomorrow. Simply because life is too short to cry about anything.

Wow Nice qoutes! If you ask me, quotes are lessons hidden inside a short sentence. I've made up over 10, and here are some of my favs from other ppl:

"Treat someone like you would like to be treated."

-Unknown (or I forgot!)

"Everything is impossible until it is done."

-Unknown

And fortune cookie quotes are great, too!

Yay, quotes!

"Being normal is vastly overrated."

~Halloweentown (Yes, it's a Disney channel Halloween movie, but this quote is wonderful.)

 
 "I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant."
-Ursula K. Le Guin

 
"Are you so self-centered that you think the universe cares what your motivations are? If a wealthy businessman donates ten million dollars to build a new hospital, would it matter if he only did it to get a building named after him? Not to the people inside it. If everyone waited to do something good until they had purely unselfish motivations, no good would ever get done in the world. The point is to do it anyway. To do it at all.” The point is to do it at all.

~13 Gifts, Wendy Mass

"I am much too old to be polite."

-Dallben, Chronicles of Prydain
"'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat, 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
'You must be,' said the cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here."
~Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
"Have fun storming the castle!"
~the Princess Bride (most quotable movie ever)
"My favorite character in The Lion King is Gandalf."
~a friend of mine. Don't ask.
"'We have eye of newt and toe of frog, carbon-crisp residue of manticore loin, a beaker of all-natural belladonna extract, some wolfbane, some romaine, a poteen of ptomaine, and a few limp radishes in butter, pinched from the platter left out for Marat after his bath, which he never got to since he died therein. Let's have Cheerios.'
'I don't know what Cheerios are,' said Cat.
'They haven't been invented yet. You'll love them.' The witch brisked up three bowls of some dry, light brown circlets. 'Here. Bon appétit. They're better with milk, but we're out of milk. Mewster, why are we out of milk? That's odd.'"
~Gregory Maguire's Egg and Spoon
