I like this one: 'Attitude is the mind's paintbrush, it can colour any situation.' Barbara Johnson
So many quotes. So so many."I became insane with horrible periods of sanity." -- Edgar Allan Poe
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana." -- Groucho Marx
"The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive." -- John Green, Looking for Alaska
"What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person." -- John Green, Paper Towns
"It is impossible to live without failing, unless you live so cautiously that you might as not have lived at all--in which case, you fail by default." -- J.K. Rowling
"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." -- John Green
"There's a lion in your chest and it makes you feel better/ Like you're regaining your virginity by commanding me to heal/ Tell me I'm wrong again, tell me it's wrong to skirt around reality,/ I'll never learn unless it's more uncomfortable for me not to feel." -- Tom Milsom, Lines
I like the Grouch Marx one. Here's another. 'That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.' William J. H. Boetcker
Yet another: 'Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.'
"I... Will never be a memory."- Sephrioth- Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete."Families, are messy. Eternal families, are eternally messy."- Hermes, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Two.
"Have you ever... let your sins be forgiven?"
"I've never tried."
"I'll phone in the verdict." Cloud and Vincent Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
"Even if the morrow, is barren of promises... Nothing, shall forestall my return." Genesis Rhasphodos Crisis Core
"I pity you. You just don't get it at all. There's not one thing... I don't cherish!" Cloud to Sephiroth FFVIIACC.
"There are men who struggle against destiny, only to have it swallow them whole.And there are men who embrace destiny and donot show their fear, these are the ones that change the world forever" DA2
"A lie is a lie.
Just because they write it down and call it
history...doesnt make it the
truth.
We live in a world where
seeing is not believing...where
only a few know what really happened.
We live in a world where
everything we know is wrong"
COD BO
"I'm gonna find out who
did this to me, and I'm gonna make him pay" Alex
Mercer, Prototype
"It doesnt take the most
powerful nations on Earth to create the next
global conflict, just the will
of a single man!" CODMW3
Lemme guess, you saw the E3 trailer of MW3, and someone died, revealing that quote..."People say knowing it's your last day on earth is a curse. But I think of it as a luxary." -Captain John Price, CODMW2, mission... Zodiacks?
"Where's my reinforcement? Huh? Alcatraz, huh? Come on. Life's a bitch, Alcatraz, ain't it?" -Crysis 2, Prophet, somewhat.

"I see... You're stronger now... Good." Gin to Ichigo before dying. I think.

BTW, Vish, I think that COD BO quote is also in MW2.
"... A knight... Never flees his foe, right?"
"You fool! This doesn't have anything to do with chivalry! RUN!"
"To me... This was never about chilvary. It's just what I do!" Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic and the Black Knight, beigining cutscene of the final boss.
"Isn't there more about being a knight than serving a king?" Sonic to Sir Gawain, or Knuckles, SATBK
"Hey, look! It's a talking egg!" Sonic to Eggman, SADX
"I wish for a mountain of hankerchiefs. So you can cry as long as you want, Shahra."
- Sonic and the secret rings- ending.
"Knave. Knave the Hedgehog."
"WHAT?"
"Hmph, very well, Knave the Hedgehog. Prepare to duel!" Caliburn, Sonic and Sir Lancelot or Shadow, preparing for duel.
"Sayanora... Shadow the Hedgehog."
"MARIA!"
Shadow and Maria, SA2, near Maria's death.
"Save the hugs and kisses for later."
"What, are you jealous?"
Caliburn and Sonic.
Yeah. But you do know that a quote is visible everytime you die of a bullet, but not a grenade, or dog. I have MW2. I beith a Private Class I. I do not know the basics of multiplayer. But I manage."COME ON, PRIVATE ALLEN! The Rangers lead the way!" General Sheperd to Private Joseph Allen. MW2

"I don't suppose that she gave you the job based on looks alone?" Adrian had been staring off but now flashed me a big smile. "Why, Sage, you sweet talker."
"That's not what I meant! What happened?"
He shrugged. "I told the truth."
"Adrian!"
"I'm serious. She asked me what my greatest strength was. I said getting along with people."
"That's not bad." I admitted.
"Then she asked what my greatest weakness was. And I said, 'Where should I start?'"
"Adrian!"
"Stop saying my name like that. I told her the truth. By the time I was on the fourth one, she told me I could go.”
― Richelle Mead, Bloodlines
We're all born to do great things. It just depends on how we make them great. - by myself
With the respect of the people. We HAVE the people - me again
The greatest philosophy comes from the insanest of minds - yep u guessed it
It takes someone strong To leave with their head held high
It takes someone STRONGER To stay with their head held higher
- do i really have to say
A lot of your quotes I don't agree with, and some of them don't make any sense. "With the respect of people. We HAVE the people." doesn't make sense grammatically.
"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." Oscar Wilde. :)
I am impressed by Ivi's Wordpress blog. You know how to express. I would like to argue with you on many points (just for the fun of it), but that would be a waste of time.
I admire your emphasis on grammar, it has inspired me in fact.
"Human ignorance is a curious
thing that never seizes to
frustrate me" Quoted from your blog. Did you mean ceases?
I wanna contradict your views on 'Utopia'. I am not completely against what you said, only some points.
Regarding a previous argument of ours-
I can type "apostrophe" faster than I can type an apostrophe (on my mobile phone).

Also, I think Ivi's idea was a good one. Why don't we all have our own, single-post, lists of quotes? Or just put new ones down here and add them to your list later?

AH, yes, that one. He cannot interfere (or does not) with free will. But it's not a law that He can't sin--He just can't. How would He? He is all good, if you're going with the Christian definition. But I don't think we need to argue religions here.
Okay, I don't want to get into an arguement about religion here but one thing I don't get: He said "Thou shalt not kill" but he has smote so many people. How is that obeying his rules?

"A faithful friend is the medicine of life"
"Life should NOT be a journey to
the grave with the intention of
