now i have a new favorite qoute from Xenosaga episode 2. Artemi i think you might know what i am talking about "where you born that dumb or did your drunk mama slap you on the wrong end when she squirtted you out?" -random u-tic fleet captian-
"Expect the worst, hope for the best, then your never dissapointed in life." -Victor Delicriox-

I've always been a fan of...
"Time flies like an arrow.....fruit flies like a bananna." Groucho Marx
"Insanity is often the logic of an accurate mind overtasked. Good mental machinery ought to break its own wheels and levers, if anything is thrust among them suddenly which tends to stop them or reverse their motion. A weak mind does not accumulate force enough to hurt itself; stupidity often saves a man from going mad." Oliver Wendall Holmes Sr. The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table
"Pray to the Devils, for the Gods have given us over to our enimies." Aaron from Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus.
"To yesterday I am learning to drive the tractor, brightly, brightly, and with beauty." Michael Valentine Smith, in R.A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land
"This ship is built to fight; you had better know how." ADM Arleigh "31-Knot" Burke, USN, at the commissioning of USS Arleigh Burke
"Hear me now, O thou bleak and unbearable world! Thou art base and debauched as can be, and a knight, with his banner all bravely unfurled, now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!" Don Quixote, in Man of La Mancha
"I didn't know how to play Solitaire. I'm still not entirely sure I do, but I can fairly often make it do the bouncy thing." Doug Turner
"Then I won't answer it, Min. You never know who it might not be." Henry Crun, in the Goon Show, upon being told that there was nobody knocking at the door

I have some more that I just recently came across ^^
"At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols." - Aldous Huxley
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." - Blaise Pascal
"Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
"It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." - Epictetus
I love Heinlein. Anyone who hangs around me enough knows this. So, without further delay: Heinleinism, as expounded by eunhathes...
Their citizens (all of them counted as such) glorified the mythology of rights... and lost track of their duties. No nation, so constituted, can survive.
"I pray for one last landing On the globe that gave me birth; Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies And the cool, green hills of Earth."
A sword never jams, never has to be reloaded, is always ready.
...when it gets down to fundamentals, do what you have to do and shed no tears.
A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?
I said "space ship," not "rocket ship." It made no noise but a whoosh and there weren't any flaming jets -- it seemed to move by clean living and righteous thoughts.
Some very awesome quotes. My mother, sister and I all seem to collect quotes and poems...
Here's a few I remember off hand:
"Sometimes you must do the thing you think you cannot do. " -Elenor Rooseveldt (Sorry if there is a spelling mistake in the name, we would spell the surname slightly different in Afrikaans)
"In life that is mainly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone. Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in one's own" - Anon? (Used for my 21st birthday)
"Tomorrow let my sun his beams display. Or in dark clouds, hid them, I have lived today" - Cowley
"Rend me with claw, pierce me with steel. As I die another legend is born for the next generation to follow." - Diablo 1, PC game
<can't remember the actual quote, so adapted> "It is easy to go down into the Abyss, the gates of Hell lie open day and night. But climbing back up, back to the world, that is the challenge, that is the rub" - Vigil the Aenied (I think)
Lastly, "Nobody sees the light brighter than those that have walked through the darkness."
CTO Cmdr Raiser, USS Broadsword (ACTD) TO Lt.JG Ro'kar, USS Perseus (ACTD) "The warrior of Light, like the experienced fighter, knows his or her own immense strength and never fights someone who doesn't deserve the honour of combat" - Paulo Coehlo
"I can see what you see not. Vision milky then eyes rot. When you turn they will be gone, whispering their hidden song. Then you see what cannot be, shadows move where light should be. Out of darkness, out of mind, cast down into the Halls of the Blind.
"I can see what you see not. Vision milky then eyes rot. When you turn they will be gone, whispering their hidden song. Then you see what cannot be, shadows move where light should be. Out of darkness, out of mind, cast down into the Halls of the Blind.
My favourite one Especially since I would be beaten up by monsters while trying to listen to the passage.
My new boyfriend lent me a Zen Buddhism book, which has some amazing quotes in. Here's two to contemplate for the moment:
"Sitting quietly on the grass, Doing nothing Spring comes, And grass grows" - (Need explaination? PM me)
"When walking, just walk When sitting, just sit Above all, don't wobble" - very applicable to martial arts
CTO Cmdr Raiser, USS Broadsword (ACTD) TO Lt.JG Ro'kar, USS Perseus (ACTD) "The warrior of Light, like the experienced fighter, knows his or her own immense strength and never fights someone who doesn't deserve the honour of combat" - Paulo Coehlo
Or: Fortes Fotuna Juvat (Fortune Favours the Brave/Bold)
"Come, if thou dar'st, all charming as thou art! Oppose thyself to Heav'n; dispute my heart; Come, with one glance of those deluding eyes Blot out each bright idea of the skies; Take back that grace, those sorrows, and those tears; Take back my fruitless penitence and pray'rs; Snatch me, just mounting, from the blest abode; Assist the fiends, and tear me from my God!" - Alexander Pope
And my best one at the moment: "When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on!"
CTO Cmdr Raiser, USS Broadsword (ACTD) TO Lt.JG Ro'kar, USS Perseus (ACTD) "The warrior of Light, like the experienced fighter, knows his or her own immense strength and never fights someone who doesn't deserve the honour of combat" - Paulo Coehlo
