Really? What a Coinkydink, no megan gave me like two sheets of them in third year. It's really sweet though isn't it, in a kind of depressing way. Hope French went ok btw!

That poem is lovely. Told you he had *some* nice ones. :pac:

French wasn't nice. I have gossip for you, but I'm sleeping soon so I'll tell you tomorrow.

I'm disappointed at the lack of a number of quotes I had expected to be posted.


"If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too" - Rudyard Kipling

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller

"Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." - Forrest Gump

Any other quote from If by Rudyard Kipling

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost (The Road Not Taken)

I have loads more in my school journal, I'll post more tomorrow.

I prefer the version of that quote that my friend Ben told me:

"Life is like a box of chocolates - it's shit for diabetics!"

no girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone
who doesn't need her
-Marilyn Monroe

Unless you lived my life,
Dont Judge Me because
you dont know, never have
and never will know every
little thing about me

Imagine a future moment in your life, where all your dreams come true, you know, it's the greatest moment of your life, and you get to experience it with one person, So who's standing next to you?
- One Tree Hill

Your worst battle is between
what you know & what you feel


Pretending to be someone you're
not is a waste of the person you are.
- (kurt cobain)


Remember, people will judge
you by your actions,
not your intentions.
You may have a heart of gold,
but so does a hard boil egg.”
~Anon

Always reach for the moon; even if you fail, you will still fall among the stars

mardybumbum

What we've got here.........Is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it.
I don't like it any more than you men

That makes absolutely no sense.

Wouldn't a more accurate version of that quote be:
Always reach for the stars; even if you fail, you will still fall on the moon.

"Yes" in response to "How did you do that?" A memorable saying that shall hopefully survive the test of time.

When I said I'm getting in Oxegen mode, I didn't mean I was planning on using that sentence at Oxegen.

It is, infact, a Jay-Z quote.

Kavanagh- Homer's ghost came whispering to my mind, and said "I made the Illiad from such a local row. Gods make their own importance."

As someone playing Nethack far more often nowadays:

"That is a potion bottle, not a Klein bottle!" if you attempt to dip a potion into itself.

"That would be an interesting topological exercise." if you attempt to put a bag into itself.

"You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes." can happen when hallucinating (the message would otherwise be "You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes.")

"You hear a voice say, "It's dead, Jim."" when you use a stethoscope on a corpse while hallucinating.

"You give the fish a chance to fix their makeup." while hallucinating apply a mirror in any direction while underwater (Yes, the developers of the game have THAT much attention to detail).

"Oh wow, man: Fractals!" while hallucinating rub a valuable gem against a non-cursed touchstone.

"You now have a lesser case of the munchies."
"You are getting the munchies."
"You still have the munchies."
"The munchies are interfering with your motor capabilities."
All food related messages while hallucinating.

"The <monster> inside the box is dead!" opening "Schoedinger's Box" while hallucinating.

"You trip over your own elbow." fumbling while hallucinating.

And of course, the dreaded "Do you want your possessions identified". Meaning game over.

Yes I just spent the last while reading through a massive list of possible hallucination messages, some are brilliant, apologies for over-pasting.

"I knew that what I was seeking to discover was a thing I'd always known. That all courage was a form of constancy. That it was always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals came easily."

^ Love this.

"Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting."

"There is no one to tell us what might have been. We weep over the might have been, but there is no might have been. There never was. It is supposed to be true that those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it. I dont believe knowing can save us. What is constant in history is greed and foolishness and a love of blood and this is a thing that even God - who knows all that can be known - seems powerless to change."

These are all quotes from 'All the Pretty Horses'.

Colm!

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." - Tyler Durden, "Fight Club".

Ever since I've seen that film, I've always loved that quote.

"Who has not asked himself at some time or other: am I a monster or is this what it means to be a person?"

Love that, for some reason.
