There hasn't been a Quote thread in a long time, so I figure I'd better start one. Not a guessing game, just to post your favorite quotes, from books, movies, poetry, songs, etc.

I love the "Shoot for the moon." quote. It was my motto during my Ballet Intensive.

I love that quote from Les Brown!
Cappie says tutt. No, Cappie, I know for a fact that that quote was not spoke or written by King Tut.

This calls for the really long nerd quote I would like the pink poster of (hint, hint ~Blue Fairy~, if you are lurking about here) to continue the Nerdfighter theme.
Basically, in the video (the one about Harry Potter nerds), John Green says:
I mean Hank, the movie was great, but the thirty minutes before the movie started was what I love about being a nerd. Because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don't have to be like, 'Oh yeah that purse is okay' or like, 'Yeah, I like that band's early stuff.' Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself-love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they are saying is, 'You like stuff', which is just not a good insult at all, like 'You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness'.
And then there's a poster that says (and you can get it in three different colors):
Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to love stuff- like jump-up-and-down-in-your-chair-can't control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is "You like stuff," which is not a good insult at all. Like, "You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness." -John Green
So basically, the (official Nerdfighter!) poster just takes the quote from the video and cuts-and-pastes it.

I absolutely love the Shoot for the Moon quote too! Very inspirational.
