Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nothing like recycling! XD

And to entertain and annoy/amuse us all, I've compiled several of my best quotes for our enjoyment!

Followed by some other people's quotes XD

We should have a thread for random quotes. That'd be fun XP

I know myself.
The meaning of life is to end, after knowing wisdom, intelligence, and love.
My place... It's with you."

(An unspoken quote, from Emily Marneth to one she will never be able to speak it to.)

"If I said something... And it made you think... Would you by chance quit speaking!?"
(Emily Marneth. Hey look, it's that irritating bystander again!)

"If you say that you can think without speaking, then it doesn't really prove much, now does it?"
(Emily Marneth. Once again, they defend themselves.)

"I've always wondered... If I cut out your tongue.... Would it by chance stifle that incessant chatter!?"

(Emily Marneth. Yep. Random conversation.)

He has some other good ones that i don't remember, but you could probably find them online easily... Maybe i'll put up more quotes later, depends on my mood.

Hajime Saito is awesome

Alright, this seems like an appropriate topic to put this in. I can't remember the name of a movie! I saw the first twenty minutes a while ago, and it seemed like a a good movie. And lately, I've really, REALLY wanted to see it. So in short i'll put up the quote or two i remember, and if ANYONE can tell me the movie they'll be great... I'll even throw 10000 gold in for the first person who can tell me, if it's the right movie of course.

These might be slightly different from the movie because i haven't seen it in a few months, but you get the idea.

"Everyone says they want a partner that's ******** up. However when people say that, they mean '******** up' as in 'Oh lets talk about it over dinner', no one can really handle the real ******** up. "

-talking to six year old child-
"Listen, the character in our book isn't real! It's all made up!"
"Hey man, she's like five, I don't care if you trying vent. Wa wa, my parents we abusive, get the ******** over it and don't try to make everyone else as miserable as you."
".... Santa Clause isn't real!"


Aaanyways, generally like the first quote, but i really want to figure out which movie it was so i can watch the rest of it and get the quotes right! If it's any help the plot was about two guys who made children's novels (one illustrated the other wrote i think) So yeah, hope my quotes help. 10000 gold to whoever can find me the answer first!

"How can someone win if winning means that someone loses"

"I want to be a human being not a human doing"

"That man, Fat man, Black and White and Brown man, tell me 'bout the color of your soul."

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Guess who watched Coach Carter today?
Damn good movie! crying I want to buy it... *watched at friend's place*

Okay fine, the quote is really by Marianne Williamson.
