Quotes in case you become famous.

[Heathcliff]

There is a likelyhood that one day you will achieve something, and if you are ever famous then you need something to go by.

Please document anything that could become a memorable quote.

Something long, short or anything. Even your opinion on your own or someone elses.

You never know, this could become some sort of memorabilia in the future.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My official quote of the day is, "age is a number".
I'm pretty sure someone famous has said it, but I just heard my friend say it.
However I do think that age is much more than that and should be considered greatly, still, it sounds powerful to me.

And one that I made on my own: "A picture tells a thousand words, but a thousand words are saying it for real."

[Maryd.]

Smile the world is good to you - but if it isn't, quit complaining and smile anyway.

Is a line I thought up when I first went online. And I have been using it ever since. I believe the first part of it is used in another quote, other than that I claim it as mine. It use to read: Smile the world is good to you, but if it isn't quit your whinging and smile anyway.

Don't know why I changed 'whinging to complaining' but I did and that's the way it is going to stay. So peoples, if I ever become famous... You heard it hear at, Litnet, first.

[Heathcliff]

Yup. That is good. And has a point.

I wouldn't consider this memorable, but I like to say:

"When in doubt, don't."

Then again, not all of my ideas are very good.

[mal4mac]

"Believing means liberating the indestructible element in oneself, or more accurately, being indestructible, or more accurately, being." - Kafka

[Lokasenna]

I'd quite like some of my put-down lines to be preserved for posterity...

"Your only function in life is organ donation!" and "You have all the charm and charisma of the recently deceased!" are two of my favourite.

[dfloyd]

And when he died,
This of him was said:
All his sins were scarlet,
But all his books were read.

[Maryd.]

And when he died,
This of him was said:
All his sins were scarlet,
But all his books were read.

Well done dfloyd... I love this one.:nod::nod:

[Heathcliff]

Your only function in life is organ donation!
I like that...

"You are unique, just like everyone else, exactly the same."
I'm sure someone has said that, but I'm saying it now.

[DocHeart]

I used to be an island, and my name was Madagascar.

[Maryd.]

I used to be an island, and my name was Madagascar.

oiieee that is so cute, docheart.

[Maximilianus]

I would like to immortalize these few quotes for posterity. I hope that long after I am gone, the future generations will remember a bit of me through them:



"Mirrors won't show much beyond a picture of the outer carcass" - Mine (I hope...)

"The game is close to end. I played my cards the best I could. If you feel I played well, this is the time to applaud. If not, then at least remember I played the cards I had" - Mine (I hope too...)

"Today I bury, then mourn my dead. Tomorrow I get payback." - Mine (I hope again. I devised it when I was dreaming to be a hero who gets payback for the murder of his family... now I'm in helpless delirium .... :lol:)

"The future us are not here. We are." - Variation from a dialog in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, where John asks Cameron "What would the future me do?" and then she says "The future you is not here. You are". It kinda hit me (I'm that sensitive), but I decided to change it a little not to infringe the original writer's copyright :p I'm a very respectful TV fan :D

[Heathcliff]

Those are really good.
The TV deserves respect.

'You can climb up the tree, but then what are you going to do.' - I'm hoping someone can tell me what in the world that means.

[Maximilianus]

'You can climb up the tree, but then what are you going to do.' - I'm hoping someone can tell me what in the world that means.
I think it means that once we are up the tree there's not much further we can do, other than contemplating whatever can be seen from up there. Unless we can fly/jump to other trees and perform some kind of a tree-walk, as in Chinese martial arts movies (the Chinese love flying :p), which in practical real life seems (apparently) humanly improbable. So if we stick to sheer human capabilities, what else could we do besides climbing up, taking a look around and climbing down again? I think it means somewhat like that.

Now, there is a chance of a deeper meaning. Let's say that someone tells you "I bet you can't climb up the tree and then jump from up there to the ground, while I can" in a voice pitch that hurts your pride. So you decide to accept the challenge and you and the other one climb up the tree, so what are you going to do once you both have reached up? If the tree is too tall, I would strongly recommend that you climb down the same way you climbed up, paying no mind to whatever others may say, and if the other person wants to take a dive to the ground and brake both legs... well, it's up to them. Let them break their legs if that's what they want, while you keep yours safe. In such situation, I believe, a quote like this one makes you ponder about the alternatives you have to come down the tree, that is, the stupid alternative and the smart alternative.

There may be other interpretations, but right now I can't quite think of them :p Then, I'll leave it like this for now :D

[Heathcliff]

Wow. That is so... Wow.

I like the tree one.

Thankyou.

"I didn't do anything today. Great, I must have done something right."
That's just something I say.

[Lokasenna]

Alas, it isn't one of mine, but this put-down is wonderful:

"If your IQ was any lower, you'd need watering!"

[Maryd.]

Alas, it isn't one of mine, but this put-down is wonderful:

"If your IQ was any lower, you'd need watering!"

Sooooooo Fuuuunnny
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Maximilianus]

Wow. That is so... Wow.

Thankyou.
Thank you too, and welcome :D


"I didn't do anything today. Great, I must have done something right."
That's just something I say.
Good one :thumbs_up Makes much sense! ;)

"If your IQ was any lower, you'd need watering!"

Just marvelous.

[Maryd.]

This one is one I made up and used in my recently finished novel. It is a scene where a young girl had to listen to the likes of an old woman, always putting the girl down.

'So much garbage comes out of your mouth, anyone would think I was a tip!'

That's fantastic Mary. What's the title of your novel? I'll run to the bookshelves and get me a copy before it's a sold-out :D

I need to read through it first... I will... just I haven't...

"The feeling is unparalleled, when you look in the mirror and see your identity staring back at you."
That would be good if I ever went through anything traumatic, not that I'm likely to.

[Maximilianus]

I need to read through it first... I will... just I haven't...
Hmm... so you are your mom's proofreader :D


"The feeling is unparalleled, when you look in the mirror and see your identity staring back at you."

That was quite profound. Really hit me. Come to think of it, my identity has been staring at me quite often lately :cold:

One from me:

"My sins have come collect, and the cost is one I can't afford"

[Heathcliff]

That was quite profound. Really hit me. Come to think of it, my identity has been staring at me quite often lately :cold:
Same for me, that's how it came into my head. It's like your reflection constantly reminding you of who you truly are, not what the way you wish you were.



"My sins have come collect, and the cost is one I can't afford"
That's not a happy one, but it is ironic, and really is true.

[Maximilianus]

Exactly!


That's not a happy one, but it is ironic, and really is true.
Yes, it sadly happens... more often than not.

do not worry about worrying to be sorry

[Maryd.]

do not worry about worrying to be sorry

This is an interesting one Internet...:nod:

[Maximilianus]

"I'm not handsome, so don't make me" - that's me... sort of.

"When you step in front of the mirror you can stare at quite a few details. Your reflection is only staring at you" - inspired by Heathcliff's previous post :D

[paperleaves]

Prize the doubt!

[Mathor]

"Honesty to oneself is oh so very lonesome." - me

My personal one and I don't think I stole it from anyone: Image is everything, substance is a bonus.

[Maryd.]

^ Yes, like that one as well. Mtpspur.:nod:

[Heathcliff]

[QUOTE=Maximilianus;799266]"I'm not handsome, so don't make me" - that's me... sort of.[QUOTE]

Now that is impressive... For me half the world has one opinion and the rest have another.

"The letters were so shaky that they made me nervous."
- I said that the other day. Our printer is a little weird at the moment, and it couldn't really print a straight line. It was making me nervous looking at the letters shake.

[IceM]

I have a few quotes I'd like to immortalize.

"Maturity is the growth of a soul; conformity is it's destruction."

"Language is the indoctrination to which we all fall prey."

"The day I discover why we exist is the day I won't."

Hopefully you enjoy those.

[Heathcliff]

"Maturity is the growth of a soul; conformity is it's destruction."
Too true... Something I've heard a lot about. That could go down in history. :p

"The day I discover why we exist is the day I won't."
I like this one very much. It's totally like all those really deep philosophies, summed up into something awesome...

"There are some really short people, and some really tall people, both of which came from gorillas so I guess there a bunch of animals like me."
Random.

[IceM]

This one isn't mine, but I think it's perfect.

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves." -Albert Einstein

Weeee... That is so cute...

it is better to suffer injustice than to commit injustice

[IceM]

Whenever I like being mysterious, I like to say, "If you haven't already noticed, I have." Just creeps the hell out of some of my friends, especially because I do notice a lot of things NOBODY ever does.

[Chilly]

My favorite, although I certainly didn't create them is:
"No pain, No gain"

And then there's:
"If it doesn't hurt you but benefits someone else, do it."

[Heathcliff]

That's awesome Chily, a good way to look at life.


"If you haven't already noticed, I have."
^ Totally love this one...

[Maximilianus]

Weeee... That is so cute...
Thank you so much! :)

"Turn your life into a movie, and give the proper thrill to a proper plot".
Yea!! If you are going to do something, do it right!!

"Life is a movie without background music."

'when smiling, don't forget to breath'

its a funny look at how some people when they get angry they smile... its like they become this socially acceptable puppet, however, try getting angry and sustaining a normal breathing pattern. so they smile without breathing.

[Mrig]

Makes much sense, though if you live with others you'll have to put up with their complains :D

[Heathcliff]

"A lady never tells her age and a gentleman never asks."
Not mine, I don't think. I don't know who said it, let alone who said it first.

Haha...

Haha...

Not even near marriage? .... How will they have at least a mild idea of how much joy they have left? :lol: If I had a wife, I would like her and I to know each other's age, in order to make guesses on how much our enjoyment and thrill would last :lol:

They cause so much distress...

[Maryd.]

Went shopping for my son, snape today. And we bought a blue and green outfit. It reminded me of that old quote...

'Blue and green should never be seen... Not sure if there is more to that, but my little remark was...

'Blue and green should never be seen, except of course if you're younger than a teen.' ;)

[IceM]

This one is by far not as good as my other original ones, but I found it comical, considering the thread.

"Everyone makes quotes daily: and MINE are famous?"

I don't know. It's not an epoch of brilliance like some of the others I like, but it's funny to me.

[Heathcliff]

These quotes are all awesome you guys...

"After all the times they've made me cry, making me feel absolutely worthless; all of the things they said to me, that crushed all of my hopes and dreams, they told me I was wrong, bad and nothing. After all of that, they want me back."
- I guess this isn't really a quote, but if I become someone really important, then this is something to be remembered.
Writing from the heart makes the best work.

[Leannain]

"Goodness gracious - blessed be the day I decided to get sniped. Not only it released me from the jail(children) most males join with taste, I also allowed Mankind to go from Homo Sapiens Sapiens, to Homo Superior."

[Maryd.]

"Goodness gracious - blessed be the day I decided to get sniped. Not only it released me from the jail(children) most males join with taste, I also allowed Mankind to go from Homo Sapiens Sapiens, to Homo Superior."

Wow Leannain, is that yours?

[Maximilianus]

"Leave my hunches alone, unless you want me to go after yours" - ultimatum for discouraging fellows.

"After sending a PM, there's no way to bring it back for edition, no refraining from the words already sent, there are no do-overs. Beware of the word you send, and to whom you send it, for you may make someone's day... or you may set their soul astray" - just a piece of advice :)

Well, that advice would have helped about ten minutes ago.

This is NOT at all a shot at you, but you COMPLETELY misinterpreted my above quote. I mean, you missed the mark totally. But it's okay.

"Striving for perfection is striving for failure."

[Heathcliff]

"Two hands are roughly enough, though in possession of a third, I'd want a fourth."

The hilarity of it. Imagine, all that could be done with four hands. Or three, that would be good too.

It is in British English. Because you are American, you say "spelled". And because I'm neither Brit nor American I'm supposed to know them both :p :D

To be is to be in a state of both deteroiration and growth. The growth comes the closer inching to decomposition in the ground. We are more dead with every second that passes.

Digging this topic, so I'll try my hand at a few:

"As they say in my homeland."
"You touch me like I would touch my own child. Perhaps witth some trepidation, disgust even, surely delicacy, but you touch me nonetheless!"

I do think I will be using the Walser quote in my sig whenever the words run dry.

[Heathcliff]

"Never take another man's vegetables when you already have enough fruit."

Heh! I'm sure there is something of a meaning behind that. Just have to figure out what it is...

[DanielBenoit]

There is no such thing as y.

[Heathcliff]

There is no such thing as y.

y?

Okay you've got explain that.

"Never begin on a road that is not yet there, it will be a fruitless mission at best."
If only I meant that.
I'm going to use, "it will be a fruitless mission at best" more often.

[Maximilianus]

There is no such thing as y.


y?

Okay you've got explain that.
May it be that the answer is the question itself? Just a random guess.

Ah... Yes. Even before I figured out what you were saying it even sounded awesome. ;)

Ok I have this really intelligent and insightful one:

Age is only how old you are.

Ah, dear Maxi, you are quite the philosopher.

Not really, I was just using a little of roadrunner logic :D

Whenever I have too much to drink I ramble:


People who think they know everything will never learn anything.


Do you ever wish you could rewind your life and start it over, editing and remitting the parts that didn’t suit you? The finished product would be immaculate, with strategically placed mistakes for good measure (which of course you would have “learned” from). Yet, the problem with videotapes is they always have to be returned. Then they’re watched by someone else, who inevitably forgets to Be Kind and Rewind, which throws the responsibility of rewinding the story to the next person, whom of which didn’t pay for, ask, or want that responsibility.


It was like a Bret Easton Ellis novel. Only worse, because it’s real life.

[Delta40]

There are only two kinds of people - those that can and those that can't

[Maximilianus]

There's no such thing as a fixed pattern. Patterns can be erased, and drawn again.

Ramble? Quite the point though.


There's no such thing as a fixed pattern. Patterns can be erased, and drawn again.
Ahh. Life though?

[Maximilianus]

Ahh. Life though?
Life itself is quite a bigger pattern to redraw, so you would need a whole awful lot of pencils/pens and erasers... but if you draw/erase hard enough then maybe... who knows... can happen I think... let's remember the Mona Lisa wasn't painted within a day.

Sure dear, in the field of war and love any drawing material is valid :nod:


"If you have a spare minute, could you stay for an hour or two?"
Yea, sure, I just need to find a long-enough minute :p :D Mind you, this quote gets one thinking. It's so meaningful for a poem around it ;)

"You see girls as energy drinks; exciting, addictive, and mass produced for your own pleasure."
That's me in an arguement. :D

[Maximilianus]

That's a great point for an argument. What a sharp mind! :thumbsup:

[Heathcliff]

That's a great point for an argument. What a sharp mind! :thumbsup:

It was funny. I said it and laughed. My friends like that one.
Only thing is, girls and energy drinks are so different, that is why I so enjoyed saying it.

[Maximilianus]

Well done ;)

[Heathcliff]

Made my day. The person I said it to didn't like it, but that is their own problem. If I wasn't insulting them it would be hilarious. They should stop having so many energy drinks. :p:D;)

Hehe. Hilarious.

"The future is a dream of the past."

Ahh, you're onto something here. Reminds me of the T.S. Eliot quote, which btw, probably has nothing to do with what you intended your quote to mean, but anyway:

"The historical sense involves a perception, not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence."

Yeah, totally random, but I was just thinking about the essay from which that quote came from, and so your aphorism undoubtably made me think of it. Again, I think you meant it in different terms.

Of relevance, kind sir. Not exactly what I meant, but a little.
You are probably sick of hearing this from me, but you are a genious for a 16yrld kid.

"Crunchy, rubbery and bitter, why did my dad just eat a leaf?"
Okay, I supose that won't go down in history, but it does point out that my dad just ate a leaf off the little bonsai tree he has. Totally random. Just downright weird.
Only now I'm tempted to try it, just as I'm curious...
I ate a flower for that reason. I felt bad afterwards because it was really pretty.

Like was when I was a lot younger in primary school, one of the big kids was handing out flowers and he gave me one.
As much as I hate flowers for their dust-collecting, supposed-to-be gravestone dwelling properties, I liked it. So I hid it so nobody could take it from me.
At the end of grade six I pulled a lump of mush out of my schoolbag and cried because I hurt the pretty flower.

And that is my whole life story. :lol:

I'd explain it but it one of those nice ones that make sense and still make you think, 'gah it is still there!!'

"Age is a number that dictates my whole life."
Something I said on the crushes thread, ehh, a few minutes ago.

[Maximilianus]

It makes a lot of sense http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif

It makes sense, but I don't like it all the time...
Eh, such is life.

[IceM]

80-90% of the quotes on the last 5 pages on this thread feel like gimmicks; like something someone forged on the spot and pawned off as either a) original b) relevant or c) impacting.

What happened to the good ones?

:puke:

[Maximilianus]

Perhaps you would be so kind to illuminate us by :puke:ing some of your good ones?

[BienvenuJDC]

There are two things that I am sure of...
1) There is a God,
2) I'm not Him...

[IceM]

The best quotes from this thread are as follows: best not from a subjective standpoint but for their relevance, meaning, and timelessness.


And when he died,
This of him was said:
All his sins were scarlet,
But all his books were read.



[INDENT]
"Mirrors won't show much beyond a picture of the outer carcass" - Mine (I hope...)




"Honesty to oneself is oh so very lonesome." - me

I'm glad there's one of mine you like, Ice.

[IceM]

P.S. This isn't me becoming an iconoclast of a thread I've participated in; it's me stating a truth that this thread has produced few memorable quotes for it's length. If I can't find more than a handful of quotes of the nigh-on 150 posts, what does that say about what we're producing.

My previous post shows our moments of brilliance. Everything else has been a high-school pep rally. 10 pages of relative disappointment show that.

[DanielBenoit]

Silence is the sound of dread.

[Heathcliff]

Silence is the sound of dread.
I know, like whenever my parents call me into the room and everyone is silent, I know I've done something wrong.
Only when that happens I have learnt never to start blurting out my secrets until they say what it is, in case I add something extra.:angel:

That is sound of dread number one, number two is the Jaws theme song.
Number three is the first 2 1/2 beats of the song Thriller repeating themselves over and over again on a scratched record. :thumbs_up

:idea: First people to be known... your enemies. First enemy to be known... step in front of a mirror.

Oh, alright, since the swarming masses demanded it, here are three pithy sayings I've come up with:

According to spelling conventions, the word law could be spelled L-A-U-G-H.
I have a lot in common with my parents: what I didn't get genetically was passed down through will.
Dear Mr. Sandburg, the fog does not have feet.

That last one is really, truly a poem-letter to Carl Sandburg. Oddly enough, he never wrote back. :D

[IceM]

Henry David Thoreau once said that "It's not my duty to make the world I live in a better place or a worse one. It is my goal to live in it."

Along those rough lines.

Most logical words ever said.

Obesity will exist as long as food does.

Predictions are romanticized views distorted by prejudice.

Wisdom is the spontaneous creation of lesser-known cliches.

Inspiration is the feeling of envy for another whom did what one is too afraid to do.

[Aragorn Elessar]

I've created several decent quotes throughout my life, but unfortunately I never wrote any of them down. One that I recall, though, is: "There is no such thing as overthinking; only overlooking." Generally used as a response to someone who makes the universal excuse: "I guess I overthought it." or "I didn't want to overthink it."

Once upon a time, long ago, my father brought a painting he considered buying home to get the opinions of my mother and myself. He went on talking about it for some length, and ended his speech by saying:

-This bloke really knows how to paint!

...and of course yours truly aged 12 or so found the painting hideous and retorted:

-So why doesn't he?

My mother started laughing hysterically and my father never did buy that painting.

"suicide would be the only way to communicate how i feel"

"if more people took action when they were needed most, then a lot of the dead would be living."

"invest in people. one idea is one idea. one person can come up with countless ideas. people want success; they have basic survival instincts."

"i'm a student of my own thoughts, of inspiration."

"in your writing, write to no theme"

"without the struggle you have another's answer, not your own, and it is just as useless as having another's opinion."

"what i have seen, felt, heard, experienced are all comign together and fitting into the puzzle of my life."

"i constantly get lost in the past and the future."

"i want to feel the highs, the lows and never get stuck in the in-between."

There is nothing more beautiful than being yourself in a world that is repeatedly telling you to be something different.

The undisturbed mind is a laboratory of thought, a place where the true revolutionary thoughts are created and tested.

Your life is that which you can't remember in ten years.

[Maximilianus]

A true friend is not that who says "A" every time you say "A" or "B" every time you say "B." A true friend is that who calls your alphabet by its real name whenever you can't see for yourself, as a true enemy can be that who goes down with you every time you jump into a precipice.

so i thought of this quote. as i know of right now it is not quoted by anyone else and i would really like some feedback on it as to whether you know someone who has posted this quote before me. i know exactly when i first said this quote.

Every happy beginning, starts from a sad ending

[inbetween]

"rather rule in hell then serve in heaven"
not mine but I feel like it

and if I should ever happen to get famous (for what obscure reason ever)
remember this

"bla bla bla"

Don't spit in my face... I may just be taller than you.

[Maximilianus]

They don't tread on us because they are taller. They tread on us because we have been shorter.
They don't spit on us because of their good aim. They spit on us because we haven't evaded.
They don't lie because they know how to. They lie because we have believed them.
They don't kill us because they can. They kill us because we have let them pull their trigger.
They aren't better because they are. They are better because we have let them be.
