John J. Rambo: "You know what you are. What you're made of. War is in your blood. Don't fight it. You didn't kill for your country. You killed for yourself. God's never gonna make that go away. When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing."
Certainly not my favorite quote, but absolutely hilarious.
She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time...
Macbeth after being told of his wife's death. I don't know that it's my absolute favourite quote, but it's stuck with me more than anything else by Shakespeare or any other writer.
That is a great film, and that's probably the peak of it. Day-Lewis is an unbelievable actor.Originally Posted by Equality72521
It may be cliche, but I love, and always have loved the Slaughterhouse-Five gravestone engraving "Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt."
Vonnegut is a genius.
"Anyone unable to understand how a useful religion can be founded in lies will not understand this book either. So be it."
-Kurt Vonnegut, Cat's Cradle.
Let the people think they govern and they will be governed. ~ William Penn
"He was nauseous with regret when he saw her face again, and when, as of yore, he pleaded and begged at her knees for the joy of her being. She understood Neal; she stroked his hair; she knew he was mad."
---Jack Kerouac, On The Road: The Original Scroll
I hereby rescind my previous post and replace it with this little gem:
If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.

Cause I've seen blue skies
Through the tears in my eyes
And I realise... I'm going home.

The worst feeling in the world isn't loneliness, it's being forgotten by someone you can't forget.
Right now? 'Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better' (Beckett).
Also, for those of you out there from Portugal: 'e uma vontade de rir | nasce do fundo do ser' (Xutos e Pontapés).
^ Those are some really good ones! Here's mine:
'That was one of the best Pizzas I have ever eaten in my life. The cheese was so good it made me faint' - Elvis.
....I don't know. It reminds me to relax and enjoy myself once in a while
It's not shame when you fail but it's shame when you fail without trying.
I thought I was learning to live; I was only learning to die
for LEONARDO DA VINCI
"He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
It happened calmly, on its own,
The way the night comes when day is done."
Hoope,
I do not know much, other than the usual things, about Leonardo da Vinci but, if he said that, he is a greater man than I thought he was.
Brian Bean, just so you know, I love your icon. W. Somerset Maugham is my absolute favorite author.
Anyway, here's a quote I love by Tom Stoppard: "'It is a defect of God's humor that he directs our hearts everywhere but to those who have a right to them."
"I have sinned, in that I signed with my hand what I did not believe with my heart. When the flames are lit, this hand shall be the first to burn."
Thomas Cranmer while being burned at the stake. When the fire was lit, he leaned forward and held his hand in the flame and said nothing else.
Powerful, beautiful. I just love it.
Everyone knows what's in room 101.
Everything becomes irrelevant, when the sky tears open.
"Hey Kevin." "What?" "Theres a ditch there." "Sh*t!"
