What's your fav quotes? Music, speach, from a book, ect

Just out of interest what is your fav quotes? they can be from a music lyric, a book, from a speech or one that you have made up your self. They can be ones that you use in everyday speech or ones that you never think the situation would come up to use it.
Some of my own favs are
"What little there is between immortal perfection and eternal damnation." (slightly vain i grant you)
"Most the pity."
"A streak of blue light danced from the heavens to the mortal ground."
"The last of her consciousness leaving her like the blood that wept from the wound in her neck."
"The dawn of the night has arrived and i must bask in the absence of the light."
"Your heart still beats it's dance of seduction."

Can't Wait to hear what your's are

"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold."

Says it all.

i would quite like to hear the rest of that story

Here's one from my new book that's about to be
published: " Visions Of Freedom ."


Freedom

Freedom one of God's greatest gifts to mankind.

Once you loose your freedom, you loose your mind,
your soul and yes your dignity.

That is the opening line in Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

"Her Creator who made this swamp such a beautiful and serene place where nature lived in harmony according to its predestined imprint had done no less for her." Ghost Orchid - D. K. Christi

"Every piece of this is man's bulls**t. They call this war a cloud over
the land, but they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and
say, 'S**t! Its rainin'!'"

Ruby Thewes; Cold Mountain (movie)

Ann - great!

"It is not enough to have a good mind. The objective of a good mind is to use it well." Descartes

Thanks for the memory. - Bob Hope and Shirley Ross.
(It is "memory," not "memories.")

DK, Ruby has been my favorite heroine for a few years now. For those not familiar with the book or film, she was the daughter of a "white trash" fiddler named Stavrod Thewes, who deserted her and left her to fend for herself and grow up alone, as best she could. She befriended and "saved" Ada Monroe, a pretty but helpless "flower" of pre-war southern aristocracy.

This is another or her delightful lines:

"We got our own story. Called Black Cove Farm: a catastrophe. I can
spell it, too. Learned it the same place you did, in the school room.
One of the first words they taught me: 'Ruby Thewes, you are a
c-a-t-a-s-t-r-o-p-h-e!'"

This line comes from Maddy, another woman alone, living in the wilderness, a sort of "good witch" who saved the hero, Inman:

"See, I think there's a plan. There's a design for each and every one of
us. You look at nature. Bird flies somewhere, picks up a seed, s**ts
the seed out, plant grows. Bird's got a job, s**t's got a job, seed's
got a job."

Dear Ann,
What book is that from?

I wish I had written it.

Love,
Betty

Betty,

It's from Cold Mountain, the book I suggested a while back that you would probably enjoy reading.

The movie is almost as good, and is available on DVD, as well as showing up on the TV movie channels now and again.
