gotta love Marilyn
lindzluffsacookie
Oh I agree with her!
My favorites are the 2 in my signature.
I love Audrey Hepburn.
I also love these two. And I live by number 1.

1. "Live is not about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself."
2. "Often, it's the most deserving people that cannot help loving those who destroy them."

Both are unknown.... lol.
But I love that Marilyn Monroe quote!

'Everything you can imagine is real' Pablo Picasso

'I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic' Andy Warhol

I love quotes! My favorite quote is from Rent: "There's only us. There's only this. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road. No other way. No day but today."

Me too! My favourite's are 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and 'Falling in Love' Have you seen them?

The only problem with being this way is that nothing ever lives up to the ideal.

I have a ton of favorite ones. I will just pick a few out of my book I carry around with me everywhere. I write down things people say that makes me think, laugh, cry, or that I just think is awesome, signs I see, and just quotes you may find in a book or something.

"Wild and possessing, making one nearly burst with excitement and desire-being both cruel and sweet at the same time. That's how love was."- From the book Love Come Softly I just adore that whole series.

"Sometimes if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything that is to be known.-From the book Winnie the Pooh

"There is no disguise to hide love when it's true. There is no disguise that can fake love when it isn't."-Francis de la Roche Foucauld

"All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own."-Johan van Goethe

"to be anybody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else mean to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight: and never stop fighting."- e.e. cummings

"It's hard to look at what it is that make me, me, because I'm me, and I'm busy being me, so looking at what's making me, me, is a really odd, confusing, room of mirrors." Tyler Hilton

"The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them."- Robert Frost

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."- Abraham Lincoln

I had to come back and add this one. I could find it, and I just love it. I was reading a story online one night, and the writer just blew my mind with this one.

"When you're robbing a bank and your pants fall down your knees revealing your carebear undies, it's ok to laugh, and it's ok to let your hostages laugh too, because let's face it, life is funny."

Ozzy Osbourne;
'Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most'
'F*ing bubbles?! I'm the Prince of F*ing Darkness'

Dolly Parton;
'To get to the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain'

And I don't know who this is by but;
'Women are like tea bags, it isn't until they're in hot water that you realise how strong they are.'

Oooh, I know I have a few of 'em.

But the quote that stands out the most for me would probably be that infamous line from that movie, Almost Famous (I <3 Cameron Crowe! happy.gif)

    "They don't even know what it is to be a fan. Y'know? To truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts." - Sapphire.


ETA oh wait, ahahaha, I remember a few! =D

Upon us all a little rain must fall. "The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin.

Sometimes the only way is jumping, I hope you're not afraid of heights. "Meaning" by Gavin DeGraw

Larry The Cable Guy: "If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!"

Some others that I really like:

If you want breakfast in bed, sleep in the kitchen.
I can only please one person each day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either.
Beer is God's way of saying he loves us and wants us to be happy.
A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.
If there's no chocolate in Heaven, I'm not going.
Raising teenagers is like nailing Jello to the wall.
I try to watch what I eat but I'm not fast enough.
I'm still hot, it just comes in flashes.

"Quiet is the new loud"- Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy

"Let me tell you something Balto. A dog cannot make this journey alone...but, maybe, a wolf can."- from the movie Balto

"Trust your horse, because if you trust him, he'll trust you, and then you'll know what it's like to be Champions."- our head trainer to me before Guinness and I were declared Reserve Champions twice.

"Evil flourishes when good men do nothing."- Winston Churchill

Okay, here's me revealing my inner geek...LOL

I don't know who originally said it but the quote I have is from Marc Worden of the MMC (Yes I really did just say that..LOL) It was in the season 7 booklet that they mailed out to the fans.

The quote is:

"To defy the laws of tradition, is a crusade only for the brave."

It's one I've lived by for MANY years and it is my favorite quote.

I've always loved and collected quotes. When i write in my journal it's mostly just quotes or song lyrics that strike me through the day. Here's some of my favorites:

Simone de Beauvoir

"If the world could remain within a frame like a painting on the wall, I think we'd see the beauty then and stand staring in awe."

"When a guy tells me I'm cute, it's not something desirable. Cute is more like what you want your pet to be."
