"Thou shalt not ding Frosty's board or damage thy neighbor's car."~ Frosty Hesson (the movie - "Chasing Mavericks")
I don't have a TV either. We watch everything on the computer..the only thing we can't get is my favorite show, "Person of Interest". Sometime I'll have to add some quotes from that!

I'm looking through my Kindle Clippings for my bookmarks and highlighted quotes. I generally go for funny ones.
"Yep," she nodded, "I see a potato in your future."
~ Twixt (Diane J. Reed)
"There wasn't a blue moon coming! You can't fault me for lousy celestial alignments."
~ Twixt (Diane J. Reed)
"Okay, visualize you new man," she instructed, "and imagine the power of the moon entering the potato, blessing you wish seed with all the forces of the universe."

Here's some quotes from The Princess Bride (❤❤❤)....“Now what happens?" asked the man in black.
"We face each other as God intended," Fezzik said. "No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone."
"You mean you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?”
“My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!”
“True love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops.”
“Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.”
“Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
“We’ll never survive!”
“Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has.”
“He held up a book then. “I'm going to read it to you for relax.”
“Does it have any sports in it?”
“Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True Love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest Ladies. Snakes. Spiders... Pain. Death. Brave men. Cowardly men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles.”
“Sounds okay,” I said and I kind of closed my eyes.”
“I've been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn't listen. Every time you said 'Farm Boy do this' you thought I was answering 'As you wish' but that's only because you were hearing wrong. 'I love you' was what it was, but you never heard."
“You seem a decent fellow," Inigo said. "I hate to kill you."
"You seem a decent fellow," answered the man in black. "I hate to die.”
“There have been five great kisses since 1642 B.C...(before then couples hooked thumbs.) And the precise rating of kisses is a terribly difficult thing, often leading to great controversy.... Well, this one left them all behind.”
“Why do you wear a mask and hood?"
I think everybody will in the near future," was the man in black's reply. "They're terribly comfortable.”
“I could give you my word as a Spaniard," Inigo said.
"No good," the man in black replied. "I've known too many Spaniards.”
“As you wish...”
“The Prince found Buttercup waiting unhappily outside his chamber doors.
It's my letter,' she began. 'I cannot make it right.'
Come in, come in,' the Prince said gently. 'Maybe we can help you.' She sat down in the same chair as before. 'All right, I'll close my eyes and listen; read to me.'
Westley, my passion, my sweet, my only my own. Come back, come back. I shall kill myself otherwise. Yours in torment, Buttercup.' She looked at Humperdinck. 'Well? Do you think I'm throwing myself at him?”
“Inigo Montoya: He's right on top of us. I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.”
“You mock my pain! Life is pain, anyone who says otherwise is obviously selling something!”
“It was only when the giant got halfway down the incline that he suddenly, happily, burst into flame and continued his trip saying, "NO SURVIVORS, NO SURVIVORS!" in a manner that could only indicate deadly sincerity.
It was seeing him happily burning and advancing that startled the Brute Squad to screaming. And once that happened, why, everybody panicked and ran...”
“You are trying to kidnap what I have rightfully stolen, and I think it quite ungentlemanly.”
“I can't keep my head above water one minute to the next: it's not just the parties and the goo-gooing with what's-her-name, I've got the decide how long the Five Hundredth Anniversary Parade is going to be and where does it start and when does it start and which nobleman gets to march in front of which other nobleman so that everyone's still speaking to me at the end of it, plus I've got a wife to murder and a country to frame for it, plus I've got to get the war going once that's all happened, and all this is stuff I've got to do myself. Here's what it all comes down to: I'm just swamped, Ty.”
“The first morning after Westley's departure, Buttercup thought she was entitled to do nothing more than sit around moping and feeling sorry for herself. After all, the love of her life had fled, life had no meaning, how could you face the future, et cetera, et cetera.”
Whew! That was a lot, but I just couldn't narrow it down any more. ;) Great movie - I can hardly wait to read the book!
That movie was so much fun! I think my favorite part was where Westley says, "As-you-wish!" while tumbling down the hill...and Buttercup comes tumbling after. :) And the part where he's so limp and helpless trying to storm the castle: "You've just been mostly dead all day." My brother-in-law's favorite part, though, was the guy that kept saying "INconCEIvable!"
Here's a quote on the serious side."No true artist is possible without sorrow and suffering and renunciation."
~Jessie Fothergill, "The First Violin"
@Lady Grace - I love all those quotes! ;D That's such a great movie! My bro-in-law bought me the book, but I haven't read it yet... I really need to, though!
We love that movie too and quote it often in our house lol. Once you read the book you'll find that some of the most famous lines are slightly different, but it's still a good book :-)

"But I realized suddenly, in the midst of that little tableau of insanity, that to have someone out there who understands you, who desires you, who sees you as a better version of yourself, is the most astonishing gift."~ Anthony from The Last Letter from Your Lover by Jojo Moyers
Leslie wrote: ""But I realized suddenly, in the midst of that little tableau of insanity, that to have someone out there who understands you, who desires you, who sees you as a better version of yourself, is the ..."that's beautiful.
I know, that's part of one of many love letters that's in the book. They are all very beautifully written. I got some passages highlighted on my Kindle. It's a great book.
Some quotes from "Charade" (starring Cary Grant & Audrey Hepburn). It's one of my favorite movies! :)her - “You know what’s wrong with you?”
him - “No, what?”
her - “Nothing.”
“Being murdered in cold blood is not nonsense. Why don’t you try it sometime?”
(speaking of the murdered men) “Three of them! All in their pajamas! … If I were you, I would not stay in my pajamas.”
Those are awesome quotes, Aerykah! I would like to see that movie - I adore Audrey!!!! :)
You should definitely watch it, Grace!! It's my favorite of her movies. ;)
Carlin, that's quite horrible. Not all of us read explicit romance, and I am very sad to find it here on the forum. I thought we were supposed to be keeping this PG-13, not R.
How in the world is that R? They aren't doing anything explicit; she's merely commenting on his nudeness. If that really offends you, then I'll remove when I'm able to get to a computer, or have someone else remove it then. Sheesh.
lol well with the discussion on the other thread about zombies etc. that had to be censored I would think that this type of stuff would be a bit much as well. But I'm not a moderator, so I'll leave it up to them.but I thought it might be a bit much for the audience of the group too, Hannah.
Fine. It's been deleted. At least the word "arousal" isn't nearly as raunchy as other terms that could have been used.

It's whatever. I just thought the humor in it would be better received than it was. It wasn't my intention to have it perceived as vulgarity.

Riley: Is it a...billion dollar pipe?Ian: It's a meershaum pipe.
Riley: Is it a...million dollar pipe?
I love National Treasure!
Yes!This next quote isn't entirely correct, but it's the basic idea. I can't remember it word for word 'cause it's a longer quote.
Ben: We missed it.
Riley: No, we didn't. It... Wait. You...you don't know? I can't believe I know something you don't! Wait, let me just live this moment. Is this the way you feel all the time-
Ben: Riley.
Riley: Okaaaay. Daylight savings time wasn't invented until (some date, can't remember), so-
Ben: Thanks Riley.
They all start walking away.
Riley: But, do you know who invented daylight savings?
Ben and Abigail: Benjamin Franklin.
Riley: *does the trip/mad/frustrated/Ben-did-it-again thingy*
xD

I love how you wrote that out... ;P
This is a quote from an old radio show "A Day in the Life of Dennis Day"."What do you do?"
"I sell shoes."
"What kind of shoes?"
"Left and right ones."
"Oh! Well I guess people with three feet are just out of luck, huh?"
"I guess so..."
Aerykah wrote: LOL! Riley is my favorite!! Gotta love him. ;D"Yes, mine too! ;D
Aerykah wrote: I love how you wrote that out... ;P
Thanks! I had no idea how to write it out or decribe it, so I just wrote out what came to mind...figuring anyone who loves National Treasure would know what I meant. x)
@Evelynn- Yes, I love NT & knew EXACTLY what you meant! ;D

Nurse lets the sick chew on willow bark. (they were out of aspirin, and willow bark is apparently a natural source of aspirin and the doc was mad because the nurse was "perscribing" this "medication")Nurse manager to a flight nurse:
"I'm sorry ma'am, I thought we were supposed to be pioneers." Mellie gave a feeble smile.
"Pioneers, yes. But we have to move slowly, they're men."
"Yes ma'am."
"I always want to know the things one shouldn't do.""So as to do them?" asked her aunt.
"So as to choose," said Isabel.

“There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love: that is worse.”― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

Here's a quote from a book I recently read -- The Icecutter's Daughter by Tracie PetersonMerrill Krause (who has 4 older brothers) - "My brothers have scared off just about any fellow who showed interest in getting to know me."
(I totally sympathize with this girl! *wink*)
Granny Lassiter - "Well, if a man can't stand up to those brothers of yours, you needn't even consider him. A man ought to be able to hold his own with his wife's family."
(I've been given very similar advice...)
Another quote from that same book."I'm quick enough to criticize and lecture the poor man. Praise should be just as quick to come when the right course is chosen."
(So true!)

From Ice Age (the first one):Sid: *runs into Diego while running away from the weird rhinos* Oh, thank goodness! You gotta help me! *starts yelling behind him* Oh no! A sabertooth tiger! Helllp! Heeeeellllp!
Diego: *says something, but I can't remember what :P*
Sid: *turns back to Diego* Please, you gotta help! *yells behind him* Ohhhh, he got me.
Diego: *turns around* Get away from me.
Sid: *half panics, then kicks Diego's backside*
Diego furiously spins around with an indignant roar.
(skipping scene with rhinos :P)
Rhinos leave
Sid: *sighs with relief* Phew, that was close! *tries to pull out of Diego's mouth, but finds himself firmly clamped in*
Diego: *doesn't move an inch, enjoys watching Sid sweat*
Sid: Manny! Mannyyyyyyyyyy!
Manny: *casually walks by* Diego, spit that out. *under his breath* You don't know where it's been.
Diego: *a look of horror flickers across his face, and he hastily spits Sid out*
Sid: Oh, phew. For a second there, I seriously thought you were going to eat me!
Diego: *calmly* I don't eat junk food.
