Hello

I'm just wondering what's your favourite quotes are and from whom are they spoken? I'm quite fanatic about quotes. I love them; wise, sad, inspiring or just true, it does not matter for me. I find them fascinating somehow!

So fascinating I have full notebooks of them written down, not only from celebrities, from my family, from strangers on the bus talking in the phone, from my teachers and from people on the internet.

I quote things I like, simple as that!

Some of my favourites:

"You can't reason yourself back into cheerfulness any more than you can reason yourself into an extra six inches in height."
- Stephen Fry

"Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."
- Oscar Wilde

"It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me."
- Jim Morrison

"Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted."
- John Lennon

"I don't bother to care about your opinion furthermore as I found myself rather being alone, than being with a untrue friend."
- Unknown, intelligent soul on the bus, arguing on the phone.

I'ts been swell, but the swelling has gone down. - Tank Girl

You got what you settled for. - Thelma and Louise

No-one in your life is with you constantly, No-one is completely on your side. - Elaine Page.

When young the darkness got in deep. Never left me, never will. - Dexter

Let me stop. Can go on forever!

I think one of my favorite has to be this: "Truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is." (Nadine Gordimer)
I think this is a wonderful quote because it really conveys my attitude about it.

"Know who you are, know what you want, and act with integrity." Lani Diane Rich & Alastair Stephens, authors and webmasters of StoryWonk

Though I'm not particularly religious, I love the Prayer of St Francis:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

[ManicDad]

My favorite has always been: "To know love is to give love; to give love is to feel love; to feel love is to know love." I don't know where it came from. Wish I did.

I have written some of these quotes you wrote in my notebook. Loving them!

'Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit.' ~ Oscar Wilde.

[mortimer]

May every bridge I burn light the way.

I live by that quote.

[Puffyprue]

More from me :
People always think that the most painful thing in life is losing the one you value, but the truth is the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of valuing someone too much and forgetting that you are special too. Always remember that if "I" loves "YOU", the "I" should love itself too.

Your beliefs dont make you a better person your behavior does


And this always been my favorite



Bird Lady: The man I loved fell out of love with me. That broke my heart. When the chance to be loved came along again, I ran away from it. I stopped trusting people.
Kevin McCallister : No offense, but that seems like sort of a dumb thing to do.
Bird Lady : I was afraid of getting my heart broken again. Sometimes you can trust a person, and then, when things are down, they forget about you.
Kevin McCallister : Maybe they're just too busy. Maybe they don't forget about you, but they forget to remember you. People don't mean to forget. My grandfather says if my head wasn't screwed on, I'd leave it on the school bus.
Bird Lady : I'm just afraid if I do trust someone, I'll get my heart broken.
Kevin McCallister : I understand. I had a nice pair of Rollerblades. I was afraid to wreck them, so I kept them in a box. Do you know what happened? I outgrew them. I never wore them outside. Only in my room a few times.
Bird Lady : A person's heart and feelings are very different than skates.
Kevin McCallister : They're kind of the same thing. If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my Rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose.
