The quote bank

[eldin]

Meh, I should be doing constructive things working but I've been delaying it all day... hence this thread and an appropriate quote to start out with:

?Procrastination is like masturbation; it may feel good at the time but you're only screwing yourself?
-Oscar Wilde

... even though he didn't say actually say it, it's quite applicable. Taken from the home of Pomegranates, www.uncyclopedia.org, or uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Procrastination to be exact.

I like ]

"Communism is not love. Communism is the hammer we use to crush the enemy" - Don't remember

If I say it in a mediocre Russian accent it makes me giggle.

[Sir William]

Here's a real Oscar Wilde one:

"We all live in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"

Mmmmm.

[sadie]

I'm styding Oscar Wilde at the moment, he seems like a cool guy

"The impulse to touch a sleeping child never fades, no matter that the child is a woman - if a young one - in her on right" -- Diana Gabaldon


I would also like to add that my daughter doesn't understand this and as she is a light sleeper get's really pissed at me for this impulsive show of affection

[Sir William]

"We have to break our necks to see the stars in the yard" - Arthur Miller.

I like stars at the moment.

How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? - Albert Einstein

yes well... you know

[sadie]

"She is rocking, not to records, but to voices - in her head" - Carla Bozulich

[cedric]

"Raoul Duke: We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole multi colored collection of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon"

from the film fear and loathing in las vegas. God I love that film

The "Tell me the one about the golf shoes!" is another good line from it.

[sadie]

hello.

a quote from fingersmith said by maud "If you speak to me I shall kill you. I have betrayed her." i think thats right. it probably doesnt seem like a good quote out of context

"he smiled, felt the butterflies, and followed her footsteps" - i cant remember where i found this but i read a poem on the internet and that was the line at the end, it has stuck with me

[sadie]

"So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time" - maple

[Mr Butterfly]

[maple tree]

Yes Sadie, I wish I could lay claim to it, but I'm not good enough to come up with something so witty.

[no mayo please]

Regarding the quote posing as my signature was something a friend's dad said once. You know those horrid swimmers that are like a two-piece but with a join going down the middle of the stomach, thus making them very strange looking one-pieces? I want to know if people wear them because they have outies. Do people really wear swimmers like that because of the navel humilitaion factor?
