Lighten up, its Friday: Post your favorite quotes.

[Weg Cory]

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"
-Kerouac.

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy...the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess in the insane lament. My childhood was typical...summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds...pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum...it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it."

- Dr Evil

It's the way of the board. The thread has been Oprano-fied.

[MorganGrayson]

Actually, my favorite quote has always been "Carpe Diem."

Coming in second is also Latin, the what will be most badly misspelled:
Illegitmi non Corburundom. (Something like that.)
It means "don't let the bastards wear you down."
My husband had it on a placque in his office when I met him.

The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not "the thinker." The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence...

that was a classic scene.

[MorganGrayson]

"To err is human, to forgive is not company policy."
- sign I saw on the wall of the Homicide Department of the Louisville Police Department.

I was there so that a nice detective (who didn't have to do this at all) could take photographs of the bruises my then-boyfriend and I received at the hands of my downstairs neighbors who came up to beat the shit out of the "upstairs people" who kept calling the cops on them with noise complaints. This rather confused us (among other things) as we had never once called the cops to complain. We found out later the couple on our right had. They pummled the wrong couple. *sigh* But, I thought this board could really use a "good cop" story.

[TheEnforcer]

I've posted Star trek and Devil's Advocate a few time before but I never get tired of doing so... so I'll start with something a little different and maybe add more later.


Chasing Amy

Silent Bob: But, by the time I figured this all out, it was too late; she moved on. And all I had to show for it was some foolish pride which then gave way to regret. She was the girl. I know that now. But, I pushed her away. So I've spent everyday since then chasing Amy. So to speak.


---------------


This scene is the best scene Ben Affleck has ever done in his career and the best serious "love" scene I've ever watched. Nothing Affleck has done since has even come close.


Alyssa: Why are we stopping?
Holden: Because I can't take this.
Alyssa: Can't take what?
Holden: I love you.
Alyssa: You love me?
Holden: I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't, I can't look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, because I've never felt this way before, and I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know... I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that - and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this fucking planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which - while I do appreciate it - I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of.

The Devil's Advocate quotes

John Milton: Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off. He's a tight-ass. He's a sadist. He's an absentee landlord. Worship that? Never.

----------------

John Milton: Guilt is like a bag of fuckin' bricks. All ya gotta do is set it down.

------------------

Kevin Lomax: What about love?
John Milton: Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate.

-------------

John Milton: The worst vice is advice.

-------------

John Milton: Vanity, definitely my favorite sin.

-----------------

John Milton: You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire; you build egos the size of cathedrals; fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse; grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies, until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own God... and where can you go from there?

Sometimes the lights are all shining on me; other times I can barely see. Lately, it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it's been.

Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right. (God Jerry)

my favorite is:

O-REN: I'm going to say this in English so you know how serious I am. As your leader, I encourage you to -- from time to time and always in a respectful manner, and with the complete knowledge that my decision is final -- to question my logic. If you're unconvinced a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so. But allow me to convince you. And I will promise you, right here and now, no subject will be taboo...except the subject that was just under discussion.
The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or my American heritage as a negative is, I collect your fuckin head. Just like this fucker here. Now if any of you sonsabitches got anything else to say, now's the fuckin time.

I didn't think so. Meeting adjourned.

[Lisa]

One of my favourites is actually on a vinyl-cut piece of art done by the brother of my best friend.

It features an alligator, with a very full belly, using a toothpick to clean his teeth. Beside him is the remains of what is clearly a missionary...a skull, bible, pair of glasses...

The title of the piece is 'Trust in God...but tie up your alligator'.

I've always explained it to my kids as meaning there is no substitute for taking all possible precautions...they have to learn to look after, and ensure the safety of, themselves.
