What do you think this is, a house of mirrors? Pop in with your favorite quotes, one-liners, or whatever. Here's one of mine, relatively newly found for me -

"In the singing, shattered midnight / By the coral sands of time
Through the bloody gates of Heaven / Past the sentries in my mind.
Bring about the change so quickly / Bring about the terror's night
Bring about tbe blood of lovers / Bring about the smell of fright."

[Scorpina]

In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!" - Galadriel

"I tried keeping a diary once. Not chronological, of course. But the trouble with time travel is, one never seems to find the time." - The Doctor

"Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain, eor live and fight your sorrow! Now is th time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!" - Auron

"Now you will receive us! We do not ask for your poor or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick!

It is your corrupt we claim! It is your evil that will be sought by us. With every breath we shall hunt them down. Each day we will spill their blood ‘til it rains down from the skies!

Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal. These are principles, which every man of every faith can embrace!

These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior! And those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost!

There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain.

For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day, you will reap it!"

-Connor and Murphy MacManus

Here are a couple of my favorites:
Here's and interesting pair:

-V.K. Plehve, Russian minister of the interior on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War(1903)

"The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions"
-Robert Lynd, 1879-1949

Some people are like slinkies. They're not really good for anything, but you can't help but smile when they fall down the stairs.

"What is a drop of rain, compared to the storm? What is a thought, compared to a mind? Our unity is full of wonder, which your tiny individualism cannot even conceive."
-The Many

"Mistrust is the tyranny of the individual. Your own kind sees you as a threat. Why do you murder our unity? No matter. The line is drawn. You will cease to be. It is just a question of who will bring your end. Us, or you."
-The Many

Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, "Why me?", then a voice answers "Nothing personal, your name just happened to come up."

fromV for Vendetta
(sorry its a bit long)

V: [Evey pulls out her mace] I can assure you I mean you no harm.

Evey Hammond: Who are you?

V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.

Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.

V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

Evey Hammond: Oh. Right.

V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
[carves V into poster on wall]

V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
[giggles]

V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person?

V: I am quite sure they will say so. But, to whom am I speaking with?

Evey Hammond: I'm Evey.

V: Evey? E-V. Of course you are.

Evey Hammond: What does that mean?

V: It means that I, like God, do not play with dice and I don't believe in coincidences.

[Raven T.]

See the first one in my sig. It comes from this (http://d2x.home.comcast.net/GrandTour/Varnae/varnae00.htm) story.

Two men are in a hot-air balloon. Soon, they find themselves lost in a
canyon somewhere. One of the three men says, "I've got an idea. We can
call for help in this canyon and the echo will carry our voices to the
end of the canyon. Someone's bound to hear us by then!"
So he leans over the basket and screams out, "Helllloooooo! Where
are we?" (They hear the echo several times).
Fifteen minutes later, they hear this echoing voice: "Helllloooooo!
You're lost!"
The shouter comments, "That must have been a mathematician."

Misquotes! :smallbiggrin:

"Patience is a virtue, lunchtime doubly so."

And quotes...

"Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic."
"Any science that is not indistinguishable from magic is not sufficiently advanced enough."

[Scorpina]

"Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic."

In response to which:

"Any sufficently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology."

[wadledo]

"Most people have many facets, some have few. I myself have only one, it's just really big."

"Men often make passes
At girls who wear glasses."

More to come.

[Scorpina]

"Men often make passes
At girls who wear glasses."

I thought the expression was:

"Men DON'T make passes
At girls who wear glasses."

[wadledo]

I thought the expression was:

"Men DON'T make passes
At girls who wear glasses."

......Huh?:smallconfused:
That makes no sense.

[Scorpina]

...sure it does. It ties in with the whole 'take off your glasses, let down your hair and open you're top button and you'll be hot' theory.

[wadledo]

But, girls with glasses are already hot.

[Scorpina]

That's a matter of opinion. *adjusts glasses*

[sktarq]

RIIIGHT Like scorpina NEEDS to remind us she's hot even with the glasses she apparently doesn't think attractive? :smallamused:

[wadledo]

My point exactly.

"Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime."

"The illicit has an added charm."

"Curiosity is a willing, a proud, an eager confession of ignorance."

"Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me."

[Scorpina]

"Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime."

Is that Andrew Marvell?

[Om]

Some historical quotes that I picked up when researching my latest AAR:

"If God did exist, it would be necessary to abolish him" Bakunin

"Somehow good will be the final goal of ill" Tennyson

"The Great Only Appear Great Because We Are On Our Knees. Let Us Rise" Jim Larkin

"Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing" Mazzini

"By thy name that in hell-fire was written,
and burned at the point of thy sword,
Thou art smitten, thou God, thou art smitten,
thy death is upon thee, O Lord"
Swinburne: Hymn of Man

"The source of every crime, is some defect of the understanding; or some error in reasoning; or some sudden force of the passions" Thomas Hobbes

"Desolation is a file, and the endurance of darkness is preparation for great light" St John of Cross

"The Lord is a man of war" Exodus 15:3

"Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past" Karl Marx

Of course almost any passage from The Destruction of Sennacherib (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Destruction_of_Sennacherib) or The Masque of Anarchy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Masque_of_Anarchy) remains highly quotable.

And my particular favourite:

"March at the head of the ideas of your century and these ideas will follow you and support you. March behind them and they drag you after them. March against them and they overthrow you." Napoleon III

A great non-historical quote would be Johnny Rotten's

"Ever get the feeling that you've been cheated?"


That's a matter of opinion. *adjusts glasses*Depends. Last time I checked male opinion on the "secretary look" was uniformly positive.

[wadledo]

Is that Andrew Marvell?

Yes, yes it is.

[Scorpina]

Ah, I thought so, either him or John Donne.

[Midnight Son]

But, girls with glasses are already hot.

That's a matter of opinion. *adjusts glasses*Glasses or no, Scorpina certainly qualifies for said appellation.

Of course, I may just be trying to get in her graces in hopes of hooking up with one of those fine avatars.:smallwink:

Life is unbearable, but death is not so pleasant either.

- Russian proverb

(And others of that ilk. Kind of lengthy, so I spoilered it.)


Dying is nothing new in this life, but living, of course, isn't new either.

- Sergei Esenin (in his suicide poem)

In this life, to die is not so hard,
to make a life for one's self is much harder.

- Vladimir Mayakovsky (in the eulogy he wrote for Esenin)

Past one o’clock. You're probably in bed.
The Milky Way flows like a silver river.
I'm in no hurry. No need to wake you,
I won't disturb you with a lightening telegram.
And now, as people say, the case is closed.
The boat of love has crashed against the daily grind.
You and I, we are quits. No point in tallying up
Mutual pains, sorrows, and regrets.
Look - what silence there is in the world!
The night is wrapped like a starry gift.
At times like these you stand and speak aloud
To the ages, to history and all creation.

- Vladimir Mayakovsky (from his own suicide poem)

Somebody told me once that it's very simple to die: to do it you've got to breathe in forty times altogether, deep, deep, as deep as you can, and breathe out the same way, from the depths of your heart, and then you'll let go of your soul. Maybe I should try it? Oh, hold it! Maybe I should find out what time it is. But who can I ask, if there's not a single soul in the square, not a single one? And if some living soul did come along, could you even get your mouth open with the cold and the grief? Yes. Oh the muteness of the cold and the grief! And if I die sometime - I'm going to die very soon - I know I'll die as I am, without accepting this world, perceiving it close up and far away, inside and out, perceiving but not accepting it. I'll die and He will ask me: 'Was it good there for you? Was it bad there for you?' I will be silent with lowered eyes.

- Venedikt Erofeev

Man can get used to anything, the scoundrel.

- Fyodor Dostoevsky

"You're a gentleman," they used to say to him. "You shouldn't have gone murdering people with a hatchet; that's no occupation for a gentleman."

- Fyodor Dostoevsky


"I love mankind", he said, "but I marvel at myself: the more I love mankind in general, the less I love human beings in particular, separately, that is, as individual persons. In my dreams", he said, "I would often arrive at fervent plans of devotion to mankind and might very possibly have gone to the cross for human beings, had that been suddenly required of me, and yet I am unable to spend two days in the same room with someone else, and this I know from experience. No sooner is that someone else close to me than his personality crushes my self-esteem and hampers my freedom. In the space of a day and a night I am capable of coming to hate even the best of human beings: one because he takes too long over dinner, another because he has a cold and is perpetually blowing his nose. I become the enemy of others," he said, "very nearly as soon as they come into contact with me. To compensate for this, however, it has always happened that the more I have hated human beings in particular, the more ardent has become my love for mankind in general." But what is to be done? What is to be done in such a case? Is one to give oneself to despair?

- Fyodor Dostoevsky

We must love one another or die.

- W. H. Auden (as well as its more fascinating variants (http://www.ibiblio.org/pjones/wordpress/?p=1695), "we must love one another and die" and "we die anyway.")

[dish]

"Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime."

I've always preferred,
"The grave's a fine and private place,
But none I think do there embrace,"


"Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me."
"The garlands wither on your brow,
Then boast no more your mighty deeds!
Upon Death's purple altar now
See where the victor-victim bleeds."

But on a less morbid note:
"I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me."

Or,
"The Laird o' Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober,
Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over."

Though I love the ending of that one, and it's kind of dark too...
"The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall forever,
But if you break the bloody glass you won't hold up the weather.

I can tell you my favourite political/sociological quote easily, it's Lord Acton,
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

But when it comes to poetry, there is just so much. Maybe it's,
"O Rose, thou art sick!
The Invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,

Has found out thy bed
Of Crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy."
...because I like my poetry dark, and William Blake does dark very well.

I myself enjoy Bacon (Though The tiger can go to hell for all I care):
"Little Fly,
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Has brush'd away.
.......
For I dance,
And drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
......
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live
Or if I die."

"Does he who contemns poverty, and he who turns with abhorrence
From usury feel the same passion, or are they movèd alike?
How can the giver of gifts experience the delights of the merchant?
How the industrious citizen the pains of the husbandman?
How different far the fat fed hireling with hollow drum,
Who buys whole corn-fields into wastes, and sings upon the heath!
How different their eye and ear! How different the world to them!"

What happened was, Canada was the 'good' sibling and we were the rebel cool one, and we go up there and tell Canada that Mom (england) is insufferable and we're gonna run away on our motorcycle because she doesn't get us. Then we asked if Canada wanted to come along and he was all like "Noooo, mummy will be cross with me! *cries, snuggling blanket*" and so we were like "pft, whatev" and then France won the American Revolution. Then later, Canada asked politely if it could move out, but by then it was the 40 year old creep who lives with his parents, so England was like "Yes, in fact I'm kicking you out. Go kiss a girl, for christ's sake" ~ Ocato of Giant itp forums

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material

I myself enjoy Bacon (Though The tiger can go to hell for all I care):

Umm, we're actually both quoting William Blake. One of the greatest of London visionaries, poets, and radicals (although, sadly, his drawing skills left a lot to be desired).

'The Fly' is one of my least favourite in The Songs of Experience - I think both its theme and scansion are closer to poems in The Songs of Innocence.

'The Tiger' is one of the best poems in English literature - look at the theme: the nature of evil, the nature of the creator - talk about big. Look at the rhythm, the drama, the imagery - it's just such a wonderful poem for reading aloud.

Since we're on Blake, and the Songs of Experience, I just have to add:
"But most, through midnight streets I hear
How the youthful harlot's curse
Blasts the new-born infant's tear
And blights with plagues the marriage hearse."
(Yay, for syphilis. :smalltongue: )

Now Bacon also had some good ideas. I'm not too enamoured of his views on marriage, but he did give us:
"Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man...Histories make men wise, poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend."

[wadledo]

This is what happens when I don't get enough sleep, find responses to posts from days ago, and it's late at night.
And The Tiger can still go to hell.
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion."

"Some books are to be tasted, others swallowed, and some to be chewed and digested."

[dish]

At least you got all the quotations correct, which is, in this thread, the main thing.

"That is the best part of beauty, which a picture cannot express; no, nor the first sight of the life."

"Nay, there is no stond or impediment in the wit but may be wrought out by fit studies, like the diseases of the body may have appropriate exercises."

Why don't you like the Tiger? (Wait, don't tell me here. Is there a current poetry thread in the media section?)

The Vales redoubl'd to the Hills, and they

-The Many

"Mistrust is the tyranny of the individual. Your own kind sees you as a threat. Why do you murder our unity? No matter. The line is drawn. You will cease to be. It is just a question of who will bring your end. Us, or you."
-The Many

"That's not to say I disparage the religious impulse. I think the impulse is a critical part of the wonder and awe that human beings feel. What I am against is organised religion of the sort which persecutes people who don't believe. I'm against religious intolerance."
Philip Pullman, on his Dark Materials Trilogy

"Hard, yes! Observe the hardness, write it down in careful runes. Now sing of wall! Sing!" Beowulf, from Grendel, by John Gardner

"And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
"Ozymandias", Percy Bysshe Shelley

"Childhood is for spoiling adulthood."

"History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices."

"In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks."

"It's only work if somebody makes you do it."

"Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."

"The problem with people is that they don't look at the big picture. Eventually, we're each going to die, our species will go extinct, the sun will explode, and the universe will collapse. Existence isn't only temporary, it's pointless! We're all doomed, and worse, nothing matters!"
-Calvin, from Calvin And Hobbes\

Calvin: Dad, where do babies come from?
Calvin's Dad: Most people just go to Sears, buy the assembly kit, and read the instructions.
Calvin: I CAME FROM SEARS?!?!
Dad: No, you were a Blue Light Special at Kmart. Almost as good, and a lot cheaper.
Calvin: AAUUGHHH!
Calvin's Mom: Dear, what are you telling him now?!

Calvin: When I grow up, I'm not going to read the newspaper and I'm not going to follow complex issues and I'm not going to vote. That way I can complain when the government doesn't represent me. Then, when everything goes down the tubes, I can say the system doesn't work and justify my further lack of participation.
Hobbes: An ingeniously self-fulfilling plan.
Calvin: It's a lot more fun to blame things than to fix them.

Calvin's Dad: This year, I thought we'd just keep the tree in the garage.
Calvin: In the GARAGE?!
Calvin's Dad: Sure. You can go out and look at it whenever you want, and it saves all the trouble of decorating it.
Calvin: We're not going to DECORATE it?!
Calvin's Dad: Why bother? We just take it all down in two weeks. On Christmas Day, if you get a present…
Calvin: IF I get A present?!
Calvin's Dad: …you can take it out to the garage to open, and pretend the tree has lots of lights and…
Calvin: MOM!
Calvin's Mom: I know somebody who's going to get a lot of coal in his stocking, buster.
Calvin's Dad: The season gets less jolly every year.

"They come check to make sure there are no dead pigs falling into our lube tanks."

From a family friend who works at a place that produces machine grease, this grease is used in factories that produce food, so the grease has to meet food standards and be edible in case some gets into the food. However this also means it must be kosher, and the Islam equivalent of kosher (I forget what it is called), so a rabbi comes and checks out the plant, which was somewhat laughed at and questioned, and the quote happened.

Now how did the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like,huh? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like, uh...Oatmeal or Tuna fish.

“I’ve been thinking how wonderful it would be if all people renounced violence forever…. If nobody else was violent, I could conquer the whole stupid planet with just a butter knife.” – Dogbert, Dilberts dog.

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
And the realist adjusts the sails.
--William Arthur Ward

"Do I take every offer that a general makes me, offering to sacrifice his life for that of his troops? When a mother offers her life for that of her children? No, El-Hrairah. What is is what must be." -Black Rabbit of Inle (this one was from memory, so it may not be the exact words)

". . . . All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed."

"He felt that the darkness itself was alive and hated him, and it never changed, never slept, never spoke. All it had to do was to wait for him to go mad, to break down, to give up and surrender. Then he would have lost and the implacable darkness would have won."

But I feel fine today cos I've got friends inside my head. They tell me stories about the world within ourselves ...and watch me get high.
(Spiritual Beggars on Inside Charmers)

Tired of dull ages, I walk the same ground, collecting the tragedies still. Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind, carried my cross to the hill. (In Flames on Moonshield)

Stood there cursing at the soul-dead mass with their fabled illusions, the vain dreams that passed splinters of a life rushing by in the whirl. A lone, silent warrior in a fantasy world. (In Flames on Artifacts of the Black Rain)

Apathy dressed in violence, white insectoid legs curse her lips and the mouth receptive only to pain. (In Flames on Gyroscope)

"That man is successful who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of the intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had."

"I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God."

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live in a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we would voyage very far."

"Life is one of those in-jokes the guy who's telling it keep messing up, so it's not funny. The punchline is you die.

It's also quoted in the episode where Homer wants to be Ned's best friend, and he drives Ned up the wall. While Ned is speeding away from the house (Homer briefly gives chase in a scene reminiscent of Terminator 2), Chief Wiggum pulls Ned over. After he stumbles during a roadside test, Wiggum arrests Ned. As he's putting him in the squad car, Wiggum says, "Where's your messiah now?"

“Fear? If I have gained anything by damning myself, it is that I no longer have anything to fear.”

“If a victory is told in detail, one can no longer distinguish it from a defeat.”

“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”

“No finite point has meaning without an infinite reference point”

"You don't realize that..this is good. This doesn't happen often in your life. The other stuff, we can work out."

"That's life. If nothing else, that's life. It's real, and sometimes it ****in hurts, but it's kind of all we have."

"A photograph is usually looked at, seldom looked into."

"I don't want to let people off the hook. I don't want to make these pictures easy to look at. I want to ruin people's day if I have to. I want to stop them in their tracks and make them think of people beyond themselves."

"If I cave in, if I fold up because of the emotional obstacles that are in front of me, I'm useless. There is no point in me being there in the first place. And I think if you go to places where people are experiencing these kinds of tragedies with a camera, you have a responsibility. The value of it is to make an appeal to the rest of the world, to create an impetus where change is possible through public opinion. Public opinion is created through awareness. My job is to help create the awareness."

"I really hope people will not deny their own emotions or shut them off because the images might be disturbing. It very important that viewers not shut down, but instead engage their own emotions."

"I've probably seen thousands of dead people, and it does not get any easier. It gets more difficult. You become more sensitized, not less sensitized. Suffering gets more difficult to witness."

Oh that movie is just made of win.

Every line is badass. I mean, the first lines in the movie are awesome.


There was time between the waning age of enchantment and the dawning age of logic when dragons flew the skies, free and unencumbered. Look down there Gorbash, my friend. On the top of the earth below us, confusion and chaos reign. All mankind is facing an epic choice: a world of magic or a world of science. Which will it be?

The funniest part is when Ogre of the Gormli Keep destroys the inn when the company was staying and the next morning Gorbash and Smrgol wake up amidst the ruins:


Gorbash: Did we do this?
Smrgol: Deny everything.

The most romantic moment:


Orin Neville Smythe to dying Danielle: I would have spent my life with thee, lasse... So now I die...

And the coolest:


Sir Orin Neville Smythe: Blade with whom I have lived, blade with whom I now die, serve right and justice one last time, seek one last heart of evil, still one last life of pain, cut well old friend, and then farewell

" Fashion is something so hideous, that we must change it every six months."
It's Oscar Wilde. Just thought I'd let you know.

"We have done the impossible and that makes us mighty."
Malcolm Reynolds, Firefly

"That's a tall order."
"Perhaps. But where is it written that all our dreams must be small ones?"
Captain Lochley and Byron, Babylon 5

"Tho' much is taken, much abides, and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
Tennyson

"You can't act death. The fact of it has nothing to do with seeing it happen - it's not gasps and blood and falling about - that isn't what makes it death. It's just a man failing to reappear, that's all - now you see him, now you don't, that's the only thing that's real: here one minute and gone the next and never coming back - an exit, unobtrusive and unannounced, a disappearance gathering weight as it goes on until finally, it is heavy with death."
Guildenstern, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

"Now I don't lightly use words like forever;
But I will love you 'til the end of today.
And in the morning when I remember everything that you are,
Well you know I'll fall for you over again."
David Ford
