How about a few of your favourite lines from movies, books or songs.

Fav movie qoutes:

fav song lines of the moment:
"Thanksgiving's coming on the Fourth of July
In the form of a girl with a needle in her eye
Well she come from out west on a nickel's worth of gas
Got her mind on her money and dope up her ass" -The Lord Is A Monkey by the Butthole Surfers (Although with that one it's more the way it's said more than sung and the music behind it that makes it really cool)

"The boss had me that body there
That's where I smelled some flesh
It took a little time but I figured they were mine
There were fingers going down my chest
My mouth went through the ceiling and my body fell through the floor" - Who Was In My Room Last Night? - Butthole Surfers

"Oh alcohol
I love you more than i did the week before
I discovered alcohol
oh alcohol would you please forgive me
for while i cannot love myself I'll love something else
I thought that alcohol was just for those with nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze
but now i know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose to walk the fine line between self control and self abuse" Alcohol by the Butthole Surfers

"Got no future, great big past
little bitty guy on the rim of my glass
gotta meet the plane so I can get my monkey
teach him to be cool but a little bit funky
got no credit and i got no fear
and i got about a buck, so i can buy a beer
gotta see a doctor about the words I've said
and I've got to get a bike and I've got to paint it red
oh no, we gotta go, we're not gonna live forever
why? why? we gotta die you know that we'll be together
hey hey, we gotta say I could never be a saviour
you don't have to be there because I'm never never never
coming home" - Dracula From Houston by, yep, you guessed it, the Butthole Surfers.


I am in a butthole surfers mood, if you don't like that you can go get bent.

Damned Barry taking all the good quotes...

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"

"We discovered you were planning a similar device."
"That's ridiculous. We have no such plans."
"... Our source was the New York Times."

"Okay, I'll shoot it. But I'm warning you, if you don't get on the line to the President, you're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company."


"The Department of Education has a proud record in turning out socially integrated and creatively aware children who are fully trained in the arts and techniques of self-expression. However, we feel that conscription into the army would give publicity to the fact that many school-leavers cannot actually read, write, or do sums."

"As regards smoking, people should be free to make their own decisions. We do not want the Nanny State. The only drawback to this view is that it is also an argument for legalising marijuana, heroin, cocaine, arsenic, and gelignite..." - both from Yes Prime Minister

"Just cause you feel it, doesn't mean it's there." - Radiohead

"O unworn world enrapture me; encapture me in a web
Of fabulous grass and eternal voices by a beech." - Patrick Kavanagh

Finally, there's a quote from the Hitchhiker's Guide about the beauty of nature. Since it must have a creator, it's a reason for God's existence.

"Aha! Since God exists in faith and not reason, that means you can't exist!"
"Gosh, you're right," says God, and disappears in a puff of logic.
These people go on to prove that black is white and get run over at a zebra crossing. - Douglas Adams

Not really a funny, or in any way relevant piece of literature, but for some reason I find myself thinking of this a lot:

"Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces: You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

You will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41.

The United Nations have infiicted upon the Germans great defeat in open battle man to man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground.

Our home fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.

The tide has turned.

The free men of the world are marching together to victory. I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle.

We will accept nothing less than full victory.

Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower's order of the day, June 6th 1944

Happy CTYI guy

Dr. Thurman: If the sky were to suddenly open up, there would be no law. There would be no rule. There would only be you and your memories, the choices you've made, the people you've touched. There would only be you, him and no one else.
-Donnie Darko. Suprise!

Dr. Lester: I've been very lonely in my isolated tower of indecipherable speech. -Being John Malkovich

"Don't be so humble - you are not that great." - Golda Meir

OMG best job title ever. Where can I apply to fill this noble and distinguished post?

Anyway:

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

I love your lipstick, you are one classy broad. Come on, dollface, let's do the Charleston.

As much as that program annoys me, I love that line.

Fool enough to almost be it,
Cool enough to not quite see it,
Doomed.
Pick your pockets full of sorrow,
Run away with me tomorrow,
June.
We'll try and ease the pain,
But somehow we'll feel the same,
Well no one knows
Where our secrets go.
I send a heart to all my dearies,
When your life is so, so dreary,
Dream.
I'm rumoured to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream.
And I fail.
But when I can
I will.-Smashing Pumpkins-Mayonnaise

"This doll is extremely dangerous. It has voodoo properties."

"I'm making time!"

"HERE COMES THE CHOPPER TO CUT OFF YOUR HEAD!"

and of course, something musical:

"And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are opressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself, you said well, nevermind
We are ugly but we have the music..."

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the sky and see

I'm just a poor boy
I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come
Easy go
Little High
Little low
Hit me where the wind blows
Doesn't realy matter to me
To me

Mama
Just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger
Now he's dead
Mama
Life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama
Didn't mean to make you cry
IfI'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on
Carry on
As if nothing really matters

Too late
My time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody
I've got to go
I've got to leave you all behind
And face the truth
Mama
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

[cue bitchin' guitar solo]

I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come
Easy go
Will you let me go
Bismillah, no!
We will not let you go
Let him go
Bismillah!
We will not let you go
Let him go
Bismillah!
We will not let you go
Let me go
Will not let you go
Let me go
Never let you go
Let me go
Never let you go
_Oo_
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Oh mama mia mama mia
Mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside
For me
For me
For me

[cue waynes world moshing bit]

So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby
Can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out
Just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Anyway the wind blows
