Your favorite quote?
 

I adore collecting quotes. It's of an extreme concentration of culture and experience value. Very amuzing, surprising, and warmly familiar thoughts sometimes. My .txt file containing all the quotes I have hardly opens on notepad :D
the thing is it would be really enriching to know what are your favorite quotes, especially each one of you comes from relatively different background and culture. thank you all in advance for your input :)

If you kill one person, You're a murderer. If you kill thousands of people, you're a conqueror. If you kill everyone, you're a God. -Anonymous

- lovely is ur sig. taken from?

thx for ur sharing ;)

My ineptitude. I was talking to my Dad while i was vacating the room to collect a phone call. I decided to investigate the door frame in a most personal manner, which resulted in my already injured nose (as the results of last weeks cold, rather than vigorous nasal sex) being further injured.

the Greek Goddess of vengeance.. I shouldve been more creative and slash the second 's' myself :)
thanks a lot for explaining.. and it's really impressive to know you write poetry.. I will go through them and tell u my feedback when done. Goodluck!

that is not my favorite quote..
 

I agree it's hard to state an absolute favorite quote. actually I don't have one myself. The validity of quotes is relative to time periods, moods, cultural contexts, etc.. so anything that I would be inserting here and there is not to be taken as the ultimate but something I judged appropriate for the moment :)


Success builds character, failure reveals it.
Dave Checkett

"Quotes are for those who do not have anything intelligent of their own to say"

-anonymous

"I hate quotes"

-anonymous

then let's hear what you have to say.. (btw I luved ur Quotes) :o)
 

quotes reveal thoughts, which belong to the world of ideas. Ideas are not created by people who jot down quotes, they are just expressed by them.
One more thing.. real wisdom lies in appreciating the richness of mind and soul around wherever found and to stop orbiting around oneself...

talking about orbiting, I like this one:

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe,and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.
Arthur C. Clarke.

I love quotes.

"There are three kinds of intelligence: one which comprehends by itself; another which appreciates what others can understand; and the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third useless."
-Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

"Men will do good only if necessity compels them"
-Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

"There is such a thing as useless knowledge. Take for example the store of medical knowledge man has gained over the ages. When times were simpler, we were happy to accept the fact that someone died of old age. But now that a person can die of cancer, we can't help but feeling that somehow, maybe that death may have been preventable."
-Me

"Sulieman the Magnificent had only one good thing about him. His hat."

My friend, James, when we were talking European Early Modern history.

Wouldn't that be Muslim/Arabian history?

No, because Suleiman and the Ottomans expanded greatly into Europe, eventually reaching the border of the Holy Roman Empire, which is roughly modern day Germany, Austria, Switzerland and most of Eastern France.

so what's so special about that curious hat?

"The sight of this lady had now brought me to the point that my eyes began to enjoy the sight of her too much; I often became angry at myself beacuse of it, and I felt I was very contempible. So, many times I would curse the wantoness of my eyes, and in my thoughts I would say to them: 'You used to make anyone weep who say your sad state, and now it seems you want to forget about all that because of this lady who gazes at you, who gazes at you only because of her grief for the glorious lady whom you used to mourn. Do whatever you will, but I shall remind you of her many times, damned eyes,for never, before death comes, should your tears ever cease'."
-Dante Alighieri, La Vita Nuova

It's so rare that the pure essence of love is caught so well in prose.
