So what's your favorite quote?
Mine is "Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper." ~Mark Twain
It's so true...

This is going to sound crazy...


One of my favorites is by Henry David Thoreau, one of the main leaders of transcendentalism.
"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them."


...because it is.

thank you so very much for quoting the guide.... so long and thanks for all the fish

but my favourite quote would have to be.. "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." -Jack Kerouac, On the Road

There is a theory which states that if anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. ~Douglas Adams

Closely followed by:

Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. ~Roald Dahl

I think one of mine will have to be:
"A single death is a tragedy; yet a million deaths is a statistic."

Oh I have loads of favorite quotes, but two of my favorite ones are from two different people
The First is from Winston Churchhill.
"I am bored with it all"
And the other from John Green. biggrin
"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."

I also like this line from Pride and Predjudice. Charlotte Lucas says it to Elizabeth Bennett during the movie. It was during one of the party scenes but I forget which one exactly. I feel it describes most people's love lives best.
"We are all fools in Love" -Charlotte Lucas -Pride and Predjudice

I have many, but this may be my very favourite;

"They who dream by day are cognisant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
- Edgar Allan Poe

My all time fav quote is... "I have built up walls not to block anyone out, but to see who loves me enough to climb over." My second fav quote is... "Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead to where there is no path and leave a trail."

Oh no question about it.

“…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”
― John Green
