Alright everyone. This is a new thread generated by your one and only Vice Captain Tak! You all know how my other thread is going... 74pages and still growing xd Anyways, this shall be one for quotes. Art quotes, book quotes, quotes from friends.. enemies.. You get the gist? Just be sure to put where you recieved the quote from.. so it is not taken as plagerism in any way, shape or form. IMPORTANT: Everytime you post, even if you are just commenting on anothers quote, you must post a quote too. Every post MUST have a quote. Even the smilies. Well I shall start and this is one of my personal favorites.
"There are all kinds of stories. Some are born with the telling; their substance is language, and before someone puts them into words they are but a hint of emotion, a caprice of mind, an image or an intangible recollection. Others are manifest whole, like an apple, and can be repeated infinitely without risk of altering their meaning. Some are taken from reality and processed through inspiration, while others rise up from an instant of inspiration and become real after being told. And then there are secret stories that remain hidden in the shadows of the mind; they are like living organisms, they grow roots and tentacles, they become covered with excrescences and parasites, and with time are transformed into the matter of nightmares. To exorcise the demons of memory, it is sometimes necessary to tell them as a story."
--Isabelle Allende "Interminable Life" Stories of Eva Luna

So do you guys like this Idea? I believe the type of quotes one presents show a little of their own personality. Like if someone used Dr. Suess, compared to Les Brown "Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss you shall land among the stars". Just something I like.. I always ask people for their Favorite quotes. "Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom and madness, between dream and reality in our mind."
-Magdalena Abakanowicz

Freaking long one here, guys.
"... For a moment, the unearthly stillness of the desert enveloped us. Then Newman said, "My Father once told me a story I always think of, when the going gets rough and things look hopeless. It's about Destiny...
Destiny came down to an island, centuries ago, and summoned three of the inhabitants before him. "What would you do," asked Destiny, "If I told you that tomorrow this island will be completely inundated by an immense tidal wave?"
The first man, who was a cynic, said, "Why, I would eat, drink, and carouse all night long!"
The second man, who was a mystic, said "I would go to the sacred grove with my loved ones and make sacrifices to the gods and pray without ceasing."
And the third man, who loved reason, thought for a while, confused and troubled, and then said, "Why, I would assemble ou wisest men and begin at once to study how to live under water.'"
I, too, never forgot that story. When our cause seems doomed and the future lost, when despair becomes unbearable and the heart is on the edge of breaking, let men summon hope and honor and high resolve in yet one more stubborn affirmation: Come, let us assemble our wisest men and begin at once to think, to study, to try to learn--even to learn, if we must--how to live under water."--
Some dude at quotes.com. sweatdrop Forgot who, precisely, but whoever they are, they're my hero.

Yay someone likes me thread as much as I do! -happy dance- "Even when speaking or writing with as complete an honesty as believed possible, man is still caught in a process of creation, structuring, and discrimination-a process of fictionalization."

Tak, this has got to be one of your best ideas yet.

I've seen that quote before, Voxxxie. Though, when I saw it, I think it was said by Groucho Marx.
"Reality is nothing but a collective hunch."

Yay! I am so glad this is a hit. Because there is a never ending surplus of quotes in the world.. This could go on forever! "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it."
