The above are several of both my favorite quotes, quotes of particular interest from others, and a few of those I have devised myself. Note that most are in no particular order, but the most recent quotes of particular interest from others tend to be near to or at the bottom. Those that have not been cited, either with a name or with the source of "anonymous" are my own. This list will be updated as I find more of them.

I wish I was that lucky with words. XD
Wow, you did get wiser. I am not sure if that first sentence was a typo or if you are using highly advanced grammar. :/
*chuckle* Are you?
Thanks. That means quite a lot to me, I assure you.
People grow wiser every day, I feel. Well, except for the n00bs and religious fanatics... XD
I mean, how much wiser can one get from screaming insults, constant sex, and blind lack of independent thought? XD
No, not at all. The dicussions we had together were delightfully stimulating, even though I was too young and too inexperienced to fully grasp the deeper meanings of most of them. I look back on those times and it reminds me that there ARE intelligent people in this world. Those discussions also remind me how much I have grown over these years.
The only thing I truly regret about them is that you had to deal with my past ignorance with such patience.
Do I regret doing so? Doing what, if I may ask? Discussing with you about philosophical, political, and metaphysical matters pressing upon our minds?
You're avatar confuses me.
I know, right? *shot*
Yes, I went through a gender identity portion of my life. I am in the process of transforming as we speak. I am on hormones and everything.
I am a lot more intelligent and experienced than back when I was the stupid kid who hung on your every word and contributed nothing in return, I assure you.
