Okay, maybe I didn't make a very good choice of quotes...That one was from Macbeth, you know... by Shakespeare?
Let's try another, shall we?
"The rain set early in tonight,
The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite,
And did its best to vex the lake:
I listened with heart fit to break."
lolsymbol...methinks ur quotes are kindda hard
:P
<----------ignoramous...lolthat sounds like Winnie the Pooh (by A. A. Milne)
Are we going to get a quote from Aumee? I'd hate to think that my little game shrivled and died so quickly. :(Maybe I should post another quote, try to get the ball rolling again. I'll try to pick something easier this time. I promise!
But, Aumee, if you have a good quote in mind, please, post away!
Mod
hey!!i resent that wes:P
sorry symbol
here goes:
"Hello, you cake-sniffers," she said. "I have a message for you from Coach Genghis. I get to be his Special Messenger because I'm the cutest, prettiest, nicest girl in the whole school."
Carmelita Spats, in a Lemony Snicket book! Wow, I can't believe I knew that...If it is right...
"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid."
That is Catherine in Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights."Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
Okay, I'll try again.That was from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
Here's a new one:
"He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt, and his only mission each time he went up was to come down alive."
Here's another quote from the same book."Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to."
Any guesses?
Catch 22 by Joseph Heller - one of my favorites"Tell the angel who will watch over your life to pray now and then for a man who, like Satan, believed himself for an instant to be equal to God, but who realized in all humility that supreme power and wisdom are in the hands of God alone."
The Count Of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas"I think every person who is single should have a dog. I think the government should step in and intervene: If you're not married or coupled up, whether you've been dumped or divorced or widowed or whatever, they should require you to proceed immediately to the pound nearest you and select an animal companion."
Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner"Fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.'"
Well! I must be the only mega Princess Bride fan over here! I'll give you guys another one!"Somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying. You'll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing!"
Oh, the places You'll Go!- Dr. Seuss!"'I can't help it. I was born a miscarriage. I had so many insults I died. I was born dead. I can't help it.... I'm tired.'"
Is that a quote, Wes, or a comment? ;0)By the way, Rachel, I am also a HUGE Princess Bride fan and I knew your quote immediately!
I am guessing that no one knows the book I am speaking of.One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Hopefully this one is easier for you guys.
"All morons hate it when you call them a moron."
I'll get us started:
"I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself
And falls on the other."
