Cool! New thread!
"I have a dream."
I feel like everyone knows this quote, but in a quote thread you need it.
" 'One day, you′ll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember' "
- The Nights, by The Wellermen
This is Avicii you uncultured swine!
Really? I didn't know that they were who made it. After listening to it, though, I still prefer The Wellerman's version.
*Overly long pause*
"Never, ever, ever, give up."
*walks away*
-Winston Churchill
A quote from Winston Churchill? I think I saw the name mentioned somewhere before.
EDIT: Fun fact, I learned both of my quotes from school. It's not totally bombing my education.
I'm sorry, I don't think I understand.
Even MLK was a huge womanizer. This is definitely known.
There's been some other shit that's come out about him though, but it's one of those things where you sort of have to make your own judgment call that he was just fucking around on his wife all the time or he was approaching freak level with the sex shit.
Nowhere near Diddy level of course, but there's a bit going on that he knew about some rape shit that his fellows were involved with and not only did he not try to stop it, he was egging them on.
Is it true or is it just the FBI making up shit? Well again that's what you gotta decide, along with if something like this cancels out all the other stuff he did.
Basically the rape thing was another FBI spy job. Here's a bit of it.
Guess more might be mentioned of it in a couple years.
"That's one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind." -Neil Armstrong
that's my quote for today. I want to do one a day, I wonder when I'll run out...
“All through my life I've had this strange unaccountable feeling that something was going on in the world, something big, even sinister, and no one would tell me what it was." "No," said the old man, "that's just perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the Universe has that.
- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Why are people taking so many quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? I know some parts are kinda good, but I'd think we'd get some more variety. Not blaming anyone of anything, don't take it the wrong way.
I did. Well, listened to it.
It's just an adiobook... I like to listen to them while I draw.
Oh. And "Oh avo"? That sounds condescending but I'm sure that's unintentional.
I'm not offended at all.
No prob. When people say Oh, [insert name] it's usually in a bad way which is why I mentioned it.
"When you said that you hate yourself, it made me want to tell you all the wonderful things I know about you." - Rem
"On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, at the dawn of decision, sat down to wait, and waiting died."
- George W. Cecil
"if you are going through hell, keep going" Winston Churchill
I'm not a huge churchill fan or anything, it's just that most of the quotes I know come from him.
“Many of my movies have strong female leads- brave, self-sufficient girls that don't think twice about fighting for what they believe with all their heart. They'll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.” - Hayao Miyazaki
"If you want something done right, do it yourself." -Charles-Guillaume Étienne
Well, I feel like I've exhausted The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, so time to move on to another book!
“Being human totally sucks most of the time. Videogames are the only thing that make life bearable.”
- Ernest Cline, Ready Player One
I like ready player one. Is there a ready player two? I think there is.
We don't talk about ready player two. What ready player two? It doesn't exist. I have no clue what you are talking about!
What, is it bad?
In my opinion, it is a steaming pile of... male cow excrement... compared to the original. The first book didn't need a sequel in the first place, and while a second one might have worked out if it was done well, this one was not. It's like Pacific Rim, from what little I know about the original and sequel movies.
Whenever someone makes a good book and attempts a series, it always seems to go badly. Every time, as far as all the books I've read.
“Akane really is a sweet girl. She’s just a violent maniac.” – Kasumi Tendo
“For a bunch of hairless apes, we've actually managed to invent some pretty incredible things.”
"People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day."
"Genius is one percent inspiration; ninety-nine percent perspiration." - Thomas Edison
This is such a good movie. I was watching it last night.
"Bring us... a Shrubbery!"
“That there was nothing so wrong in the world that we couldn’t sort it out by the end of a single half-hour episode (or maybe a two-parter, if it was something really serious).”
Somehow missed a golden quote from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so I'll put it in here to make up for the lack of a quote yesterday.
“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”
- Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time
"Oh.. oh... oh dear. I think I am about to do something evil again." - Kasumi Tendo
"Those that drink their pee, don't know what they're doing."
“Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.”
“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
- Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time
"Your actions constitute severe violations of many local ordinances and national laws... Not to mention several international treaties and the Android Rights Act of 1978. Ever consider a career in cataclysm management? Lemme buy you a beer." - Masamichi
“It could be that your purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.”
Forgot to do one yesterday, so I'll post two.
“There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.”
- Oscar Levant
“Deadlines just aren't real to me until I'm staring one in the face.”
- Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief
"A flaw of modern Republicanism is that decisions can't be made unless it is a matter of life and death." - Shinei Nouzen
On that note:
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
- Harvey Dent
" 'You should always welcome being proven wrong,' Jason said. 'It means your understanding of the world just got a little bit better.' "
- Shirtaloon, He Who Fights with Monsters 2
Found another Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy quote!
Don't mind me, just pushing down the italics...
“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
"Death comes for us all, Oroku Saki, but something much worse comes for you... for when you die, it will be... (falling sound, screaming) without honor." (crushing sounds)
-Master Splinter
Not entirely sure how I missed so many quotes from this book, lol.
“The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”
- Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything
I forgot that part XD
Then shouldn't success be throwing yourself at faliure and missing? (Don't take this seriously, trying to fail will make you fail)
“Don't Panic.”
You can't tell me what to do, I'm already panicking!
Missed another day, so here are two quotes again.
pushing down the italics...
“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”
- Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless
“A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.”
Italics:
Begone!
“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
- Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
"Italics, Begon!" UD.
"I like smashing mobs. Don't quote that." BionicLMAO (that's a youtuber, a specific one of his channels)
