I have so many favorites. Here's one from Eat, Pray, Love (the novel):

Wherever you go, there you are.

One of the best quotes I think I've ever read to date!

 

[*NikkiBell*]

This one just makes me laugh...

"Then I popped the hood and removed the Cherokee's distributor cap. This was one of my many New Jersey survival skills. Anyone who has ever left their car in long term parking at Newark Airport knows how to remove the distributor cap. It is virtually the only way of ensuring your car will be there upon your return." - Evanovich's Stephanie Plum Novels

I have this one posted in my classroom. I just LOVE it and agree with it whole-heartedly!!


"A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

— Roald Dahl from his book "The Twits"

"Let's look at and dissect some famous old quotes.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever."

Yes...but 9 times out of 10, the weekend is long enough.

"Each man kills the thing he loves."

That's because he's been lead to believe it will be a joy forever."

I'm sticking with a song quote from the only band that matters, The Clash:

*** years have passed and things have changed
and i move anyway i wanna go
i'll never forget the feeling i got
when i heard that you'd got home
an' i'll never forget the smile on my face
'*** i knew where you would be
an' if you're in the crown tonight
have a drink on me
but go easy...step lightly...stay free

 

[roomthreeseventeen]

I prefer neurotic people. I like to hear rumblings beneath the surface.
Stephen Sondheim

 

[lugnut33]

Non-song quote from Carl Sagan:

Our solar system consists of one star and some debris.

 

[Disneyhenry]

All things share the same breath, the beast, the tree, the man, the aire shares its spirit, with all the life it supports ~ Chief Seattle

 

[Sooze]

Oh wow, Sooze, I love this one!!! Roald Dahl is one of my favorite kids' authors.

Me too! That quote has just stuck with me... it kind of sums up everything I believe in.


Thanks for starting such a fun thread!
