Well, I have two questions:
First I'v been wracking my brain trying to remember the phrase that went something like: Dance like you've......, live like ......and ......like.......
I know it's not much but I do remember many members here had it on their signature, anyone can help????
Also I remember a fic where each chapter began with a very famous quote, from famous authors and poets, anyone knows???
Finally, do you have any favorite quote or phrase you'd like to share????
I would love to read them, any kind of them!!!
Thanks!!!!

Hardhat: Don't eat the tuna salad in the cafeteria. It made me throw up.
Suit: Food poisoning takes a while. How long did it take to make you sick?
Hardhat: About 5 seconds. All I can figure is, someone must've put fish in it - I'm allergic to fish.

Here are some of my favorite Quotes:
Lady you bereft me of all words,
Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,
And there is such confusion in my powers.
-William Shakespeare
Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
-William Congreve
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
-W. C. Fields
Never make someone your everything... because when they leave, you've got nothing...

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom,
Man made up a story, said that I should believe him.
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight,
But I don’t want the next best thing.
So I sing, I hold my head down, and I break these walls ’round me.
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love.

Quotes!
I love quotes!
Well, including the ones that were posted earlier - I've heard all of them and think they're great - some other ones that I like (given, this is just some! I have dozens/hundreds) are:
Feminism
A man of quality is not threatened by a woman of equality.
I have never been able to find out precisely what feminist is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat. (Rebecca West, 1913)
Feminism is the radical idea that women are people. (Cheris Kramarae & Paula Treichler)
Feminism is sort of like God. Many people profess to believe in it, but no one seems to be able to define it to everyone's satisfaction. (Aaron Allston)
[Feminism is] a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destory capitalism, and become lesbians. (Pat Robertson)
Love/Romance
Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly. (Rose Franken)
If even a day should go by when I don't say I love you, may never a moment go by without you knowing I do.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead. (Bertrand Russell)
All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand. (Ella Wheeler Wilcox)
Love is everything it's cracked up to be... It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. (Erica Jong)
There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. (H. L. Mencken)
Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. (Iris Murdoch)
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. (Oscar Wilde)
Other/Random
To accept what's to come is to know that you'll have to say goodbye.
If Juliet was stupid enough to fall for the enemy, drink a bottle of poison, and go to sleep in a mausoleum, she deserved whatever she got.
If you hate what you're seeing, you call it sex and violence. If you like it, you call it "romance and adventure." (Joe Bob Briggs)
Because you are in control of your life. Don't ever forget that. You are what you are because of the conscious and subconscious choices you have made. (Barbara Hall)
Patterning your life around other's opinions is nothing more than slavery. (Lawana Blackwell)
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. (Albert Einstein)
I could go on and on and on! It's hard to choose my favorite. Right now, I'd have to say that it's the one in my sig. However, there are some that I read and they just stick with me.
But I'm stopping now before I get too carried away!

I have 2
First is " to be skeptical is to doubt, to doubt is to question, to question is to think. I think therfore I am."
Author unknown-to me anyway
Second is "When someone shows you who they are, Believe them."
Maya Angelou (sp)
I have found the 2nd to be so helpful in life. When you really look, you see.
Great idea for a thread.

I love quotes. Here are a few of my faves.
Envy comes from people's ignorance of, or lack of belief in, their own gifts”
Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go
Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good
If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done
Discussion is an exchange of knowledge,argument an exchange of ignorance
Have you ever noticed anybody going slower than you is an idiot, & anyone going faster than you is a maniac?
