OK, how about a quote competition. After the post disappears, someone can fish it out and we all vote on the best one. No limit to entries. They can be from anywhere, but if someone famous said it put their name under it, make your own up if you want. Death is life's way of telling you you've been fired.  ....peace as a primary objective is dangerous because it implies that we would sacrifice anything for the sake of it.... Robert Kaplan |

Nicole, remind me to show you The Quote Book someday... Think of all the weird little things people who are cursed strongly enough to end up talking to me might say... now imagine I've written the best of these in a little Word Document for the past three years and published them on the internet...  Examples: "I'm not molesting you! I'm checking for ticks." ~ "There are planets out there for us somewhere."  ~ "Hanson and the Spice Girls on the same CD? This is a plea to God to smite our society." ~ "I'm going to hurt myself until you get me something to drink." "Don't hurt yourself." "But I'm thirsty!" ~ "We must be lost -- we've passed the point of no return three times in the last hour." ~shaking head~ and I LIKE these people...

The multiplication of a man's selfishness is the division of a man's soul. Promises form due to a lack of trust.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Fractal you are awesome, Magus is one of the best video game characters ever. I also like Final Fantasy VI (I'm guessing it's that Sabin). *tsks at Chris* At least you could have put the original quote: "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards for they are subtle and quick to anger" - J.R.R. Tolkien "Extinquished by night, I turn on the light Wear its darkness with an empty smile" - Pink Floyd "Unlike grownups, children have little need to deceive themselves." - Goethe Abrahm Simons "And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind - is, in the end, Hell" - C.S. Lewis [This message has been edited by Dusk Treader (edited 02-22-2001).] |

Abe - considering that a total of what, four words...? are the same, then I think I can credit the author of the one I posted (whomever that may be) as having come up with an honestly original quote! |

heres some more!! ~~> *If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will keep you from seeing the stars *If you love someone, let them go, if they dont come back, stalk them *When we were together you always said you'd die for me, now that we've broken up..i think its time you kept your promise *A friend would bail you outta jail, but a true friend would be in the cell right next to ya *I'll be your Dixie chicken if you'll be my TEnnessee lamb, and we can walk together, down in Dixie Land *Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm *I thank everyone that has caused me to suffer.

Back again Here's one I came up with a while back. "If you want to backseat drive in my life, go ahead. Just don't expect me to give you the map." And here's one from Saturday Night Live: "And ninety percent of users will experience an instantaneous and horrifying sleep paralysis containing a bleak vision of mortality." -- Trilocaine commercial I'd use that one to sabotage a commercial endorsement in the event that you are forced to give one for some dumb reason... "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" -- Magus |

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way. ~Vincent Van Gogh Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses. ~Chinese proverb .and of course!

Ok, voting time. Anyone can vote. Just post a reply with the quote and who posted it. Maybe that should be done in a separate thread. I'll start it. It can be called "Voting thread". Gee, original.
