The Official Quotes Thread

[Dreamydre]

I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we post quotes that inspire us, make us laugh, make us think, etc. It's really simple, just a post a quote, be it from a movie, a famous or non-famous person, your mother, etc. You don't even have to talk about it if you don't want too, just let it speak for itself. The only rule is that you HAVE to add the person you are quoting, give credit where credit is due.

I have so many, but I'll start with one of my favorite:

"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." ~ Lester Burnham (American Beauty)

My favorite quote is actually something a friend said.

"That person becomes such a major part of your life that you have to love them whether you really are meant for each other or not." - Chris E. (Rapsheba555.)

Then, there's also:

"Telling the future by looking at the past assumes that conditions remain constant. This is like driving a car by looking in the rearview mirror." - Herb Brody

[Dreamydre]

“My first day in Chicago, September 4, 1983. I set foot in this city, and just walking down the street, it was like roots, like the motherland. I knew I belonged here.”
- Oprah Winfrey-

I can relate so much to this quote, when me and my mother, packed up and made the long trip to California, I felt the exact same way.

My atheism... is a true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image, to be servants of their human interests. - George Santayana

[Rabid]

"It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it."
-Oscar Wilde


Words I live by.

[Dreamydre]

"You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them."

- Iyanla Vanzant -

A response to my question on why guys don't seem to like me.

"You know why guys don't like you? You're fucking insane. You're very devoted to your faith, you set your limits. You don't let anybody push you around, you stick to your morals. You always stand up for what's right, even if it's hard, the girl that would break into a car in insane heat to give a dog water or the only one that stood up for the stranger being bulled. You're not the best cook, but you always spend countless hours cooking and making things for those who are hurt or sick. You'd rather listen and help rather than talk and gossip. You play too many video games, and you'd rather spend a Friday night playing video games than going out. You don't wear any makeup, you rarely wear anything that isn't jeans and a t-shirt, and your hair is short and you style yourself that way because style isn't a top priority. Most girls your age babysit for money, while you both babysit and volunteer at the children's section of the library for FREE. Why? You do it because of the simple fact that you love children. That's why guys don't like you, but those are the exact reasons why I am completely head over heels for you." ~one of my best friends, Kyung.

[minus.]

"If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?"
Jonathan Livingston Seagull, by Richard Bach.

"I'm totally a doctor, I bought my diploma on some Chinese website."

**Note: strong language and many quotes**

"Most people are dead. Did you know that? It’s true, out of all the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead. There are are way more dead people, and you’re all going to die. And then you’re going to be dead for way longer than you’re alive, like, that’s mostly what you’re ever going to be… You’re just dead people that didn’t die yet." ~ Louis CK

"If Jesus sacrificed his life for my sins isn’t it a waste unless I sin a lot?" ~ Louis CK

"So they taught us sex in school, and all they did was scare the shit out of me because they show you these diagrams of, like, a penis, just this huge penis and it’s cut in half lengthwise. Like, yeah, that’s what your dick would look like if I ripped off half of it and threw it in the garbage." ~ Louis CK

"It’s true, everything that makes you happy is going to end at some point, and nothing good ends well. It’s like, if you buy a puppy, you’re bringing it home to your family’s saying, hey, look, everyone, we’re all gonna cry soon. Look at what I brought home. I brought home us crying in a few years. Here we go. Countdown to sorrow with a puppy." ~ Louis CK

"It doesn't have ANY effect on your life. What do you care?! People try to talk about it like it's a social issue. Like when you see someone stand up on a talk show and say, ""How am I supposed to explain to my children that to men are getting married?"" ... I dunno, it's your s**tty kid and you f**kin' tell 'em. Why is that anyone else's problem? Two guys are in love but they can't get married because you don't want to talk to your ugly child for five f**kin' minutes?" ~ Louis CK

"You've got to be optimistic to be single. Stupid. You have to be stupid. That's what optimistic means, you know. It means stupid. An optimist is someone who goes, ""Hey, maybe something nice will happen!"" Why the f**k would anything nice ever happen?!? What are you stupid?!?" ~ Louis CK

"When I read things like "the foundations of capitalism are shattering," I'm like, maybe we need that. Maybe we need some time where we're walking around with a donkey with pots clanging on the sides. Because everything is amazing right now and nobody's happy... In my lifetime, the changes in the world have been incredible. Now we live in an amazing, amazing world and it's wasted on the crappiest generation of just spoiled idiots that don't care, because this what people are like now. They've got their phone and they're like "Uh, it won't" GIVE IT A SECOND! It's going to space! Can you give it a second to get back from space? Is the speed of light too slow for you?" ~ Louis CK

"I read something in the paper that really confused me the other day. It said that 80 percent of the people in New York are minorities... Shouldn't you not call them minorities when they get to be 80 percent of the population? That's a very white attitude, don't you think? I mean, you could take a white guy to Africa and he'd be like 'Look at all the minorities around here! I'm the only majority.'" ~ Louis CK

"A man will cut your arm off and throw it in a river, but he'll leave you as a human being intact. He won't f**k with who you are. Women are non-violent but they will s**t inside of your heart." ~ Louis CK

"I'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it." ~ George Carlin

"The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one whose answers I accept." ~ George Carlin

"There are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven you can’t say on television. What a ratio that is! 399,993 to 7. They must really be baaaad. They must be OUTRAGEOUS to be separated from a group that large. “All of you words over here, you seven….baaaad words.” That’s what they told us, right? …You know the seven, don’t ya? That you can’t say on TV? Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits." ~ George Carlin

"Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do 'practice'?" ~ George Carlin

"What was the best thing before sliced bread?" ~ George Carlin

"Somehow I enjoy watching people suffer." ~ George Carlin

[SpookyOkyBatGirl]

I love CK Louis :D

[The Raven]

"Our hatred of Jennifer Aniston is what keeps the family together." ~ My mother

[Dreamydre]

Everyone changes, you can choose to accept it and grow into a better person, or deny it and feel as if your life is slipping out of your control. People change, things go wrong, but life goes on.

When a user posts a thread about general discussion of a game that already has an OT, mods will be locking that thread and pointing users towards the official thread instead. We're currently using xtools.co.uk (http://www.xtools.co.uk/) the OT tag to identify them, which will help us find them all at once when we do eventually link them to game pages.
