Do you have any favorite quotes??
My favorite quote is from Star wars ep. 4 when ObiWan says, "whose more foolish? The foll, or the fool who follows it?" (thats my sig right now)
I like lots of quotes. One of them is in my siggy. Another funny one is "Time's fun when you're having flies." -Kermit the Frog. And "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life." -Brooke Shields...lol!
my best friend is pink jeans!
"I don't pretend to be Captain Weird. I just am."

i can only remember one of mine... its from the show Home Improvement.
It was when Jill was fixing stuff and she said to Tim that she will fix things herself and he replied,
"You dont even know the names of the tools. You use terms like thing-a-ma-gig, and my personal favorite... doo-hicky"
i forgot one of the terms right now... oh well

Hee, I love quotes. Especially like the two just posted. What're they from?
Okay, digging into my favorite bookquotes file . . .
Most of them seem to come from Terry Pratchett. Not always funny, sometimes just beautiful.
"Mister Teatime had a truly brilliant mind, but it was brilliant like a fractured mirror, all marvellous facets and rainbows but, ultimately, also something that was broken."
"The party spread out a little as the guests pondered the ancient question of how to hold a plate and a glass and eat at the same time without using one of those little glass-holding things that clip on the side of the plate and make the user look as though they're four years old."
"It was funny how people were people everywhere you went, even if the people concerned weren't the people the people who made up the phrase 'people are people everywhere' had traditionally thought of as people."
And from Lemony Snicket:
"Villains require a small group of villainous cohorts, who can be persuaded to serve the villain in a henchpersonal capacity."
"Just about everything in this world is easier said than done, with the exception of 'systematically assisting Sisyphus's stealthy, cyst-susceptible sister'."
And from Isaac Adamson:
"No good guy in the history of the world has ever worn a cravat."
"Back in the Octopus's Garden, I checked my messages, but there were none. Billions of people on the planet and none of them had a thing to say to me, but it was more or less mutual."
"'I blame you Americans and all your fast-food chains. Did you know the average Japanese school kid is getting fatter every year? All because of American junk food.'
'American kids are getting fatter, too. We blame Nintendo.'"
And from a rather bad book called "The Year of Our War":
"Never trust a language that has no future tense and twenty words for 'drunk.'"
Er. That's enough for now.

From a Discovery Channel show about the metal working industry... it cracks us up! We've seen the show about three times, and the industry rep is so serious when he says it!

Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said, 'goodbye.' And you were like, 'no, wait.' And then I was all, 'we pretended we were going to murder you.' That was great...
"Now most people in Alice's position would give up. Not Alice. She has courage which can only be described as awesome.
Against all odds, over a noisy telephone line, tapped by the tax authorities and the secret police, Alice will happily attempt, with someone she doesn't trust, whom she cannot hear clearly, and who is probably someone else, to fiddle her tax returns and to organise a coup d'etat, while at the same time minimising the cost of the phone call.
A coding theorist is someone who doesn't think Alice is crazy."
(An address on cryptography.)
Suddenly, they were all attacked by ninjas.
Xander considered it odd to be attacked by ninjas, seeing as there shouldn't be ninjas in a science fiction universe, especially one based on Chinese mythology. He drew his spear and began twirling it around menacingly regardless, until an arrow randomly struck his chest. Or a ninja star. Whichever works for you.
Lowen and Sarisa stared.
"Noooo!" cried Sarisa. "I barely even knew him! ...well, not at all, but he was a good fellow main character!"
<not that that counts.>

"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently.
She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey.
"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.

"'And it is also said,' answered Frodo: 'Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.'
'Is it indeed?" laughed Gildor. 'Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.'"
This is probably my favorite out of a whole string of favorites. Too many times my advice has backfired on me.

OK. This is my favorite quote from LOTR. I'm attempting to type it from memory, so it might be a little off. This is Frodo and Gandalf:
"What a pity Bilbo did not slay that vile creature when he had the chance!"
"Pity? It was pity and mercy: not to strike without need."
"I feel no pity for Gollum. He deserves death!"
"Deserves death! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give that to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of judgment, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends."
Wise words...
