[Gyrre]

It's been over 2 years since either of the previous quotes threads have been posted in, so I'm reviving both in this one thread.

EDIT: Whether amusing, poignant, or of the everday, feel free to post it here.

"I didn’t pick my brain because I wanted to pick my brain. It was the only one I had access to, okay?"

— Simone Giertz, Making a Paper Shredder That Looks Like a Brain

[Is it cold in here?]

You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

Marcus Cole, Babylon 5

I had been using that one as a sig quote for a while years ago, and it’s a good one.

[Gyrre]

It is…difficult… to find the words to heal others. So often the words we choose carry consequences. Regret is easy to cultivate. Because so much of it haunts the words we have said when only love should have been spoken.

— Master Wu, Daughter of the Lilies

[Blue Kitty]

In the end, it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures, the Tyrannosaurus Rex

It's your language. I'm just trying to use it.

[Tova]

"I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts."

[Gyrre]

"It’s a wonderful legacy to leave behind, books. Even if you can’t write them yourself, it’s always good to make sure there are books left behind."

-- thebibliosphere, context

[Gyrre]

"Why do you people feel profound thought has to come from high places? The gutter looks at the stars too."

— greenycrimson, context

[Pilchard123]

I may have posted this one some time in the past, but I like it so I'll post it again:

Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy him that expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; since he may be sincerely convinced of the advantages of conquering his passions, without having yet obtained the victory.

[Is it cold in here?]

"Forgiveness means letting go of the hope for a better past".

[Tova]

The history of the world, my love
Is those below serving those up above
How gratifying for once to know
That those above will serve those down below
- Sweeney Todd

[Gyrre]

"Hard work makes luck stick."
— Blue, TEN YEARS of OSP – Detail Diatribe
