What quotes speak to you?

https://vimeo.com/24715531 I love it.

 

I was thinking about making a similar thread the other day, so I'm glad you started one!

Recently I've been very inspired by RuPaul's wisdom, so here are some of my favourite quotes:

"People talking since the beginning of time. Unless they paying your bills, pay them bitches no mind."
"If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?"
"What other people think of me is not my business."

i was going to post ~inspirational~ quotes but oh well...

 

One of my favourite's from Ron Perlman is: "I'm thankful to be breathing, on this side of the grass. Whatever comes, comes."

Also, Sigmund Freud's "Anatomy is destiny."

 

Well, just refer to any of my signatures; they're 95% things I thought up myself. o:

 

"You might not realize it when it happens but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." -Walt Disney
"When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor E. Frankl

 

"We as gay people, we get to chose our families." - RuPaul

This quote really hit me. It always does. A lot of people say it. It means a lot to me. And I hope it's true

 

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."​

Ralph Waldo Emmerson​

it really hit me and make me realize that i dont have to live up someone else expectation. I just have let it go and find my true self...

 

My signature, as of right now.

 

"Rectitude carried to excess hardens into stiffness;
Benevolence indulged beyond measure sinks into weakness."
Masamune Date​

Basically, be too strict and you're an asshole who loses their humanity. Be too giving and you're a punching bag to be taken advantage of. Balance your pros and cons, your strengths and flaws, your ideas and ambitions, and you shall not only grow but develop the art of living.

"The best way to keep one's word is never to give it."

"Those who know how to flatter, also know how to slander."

"Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake."
Napoleon Bonaparte​

Basically, think before you do, and be willing to take advantage of any situation, even if you are anxious to see it come to completion. Make the most of what you have, be it natural or circumstantial.

"We will either find a path or make a new one."
Hannibal Barca​

It's your life. You may feel helpless or unloved now, but that is because you are following the path laid before you. Fuck that, and forge your own, which may lead you to happiness and substance.

“To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
to leave the world a better place,
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived,
this is to have succeeded.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson (apparently)​

As it reads. Pretty straight forward.

 

- Don't worry about what people think. They don't do it very often.
- The innermost circle of hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of moral crisis - Dante
- If you held 11 roses in front of a mirror, you would see the 12 most beautiful things in the world.
-Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open - Albus Dumbledore

 

My favourite quote of all time is "All art is quite useless" (Oscar Wilde).

 

One that holds onto nothing will feel the universe slowly surrender itself.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

 

All great men are dead or dying. I don't feel well myself. (Owen P. McDevitt III and others)

I am not arbitrarily belligerent. (Somebody's T-shirt)

I've always wanted to throw an egg at an electric fan.(Samuel Langhorne Clemens)

 

This is my favourite quote of all time. It's from Alexander The Great;

"I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion."

 

Despite my dislike of Ayn Rand and her, ahem, 'philosophies' (and my word did this woman have her finger firmly on the bullshit button), I will admit she is responsible for one of my most favourite quotes:

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible... it's yours.”

Taken alone purely for itself, I find that quite inspirational in a "never give up" sense.



Oscar Wilde of course had some good ones:

"If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you."

"I can resist anything but temptation."

"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much."

"Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative."



And Rik Mayall produced this gem:

"Comedy is the salvation of misery."

 

I'm stuck in a coma, stuck in a never-ending sleep

 

Where there is a brewery, there is no need for a bakery.(Bavarian folk wisdom)

"We may be broken but you can't kill all of us"
