I'm putting together this little notebook with meaningful quotes and sayings. I just wanted to hear what everyone's favorite quotes were. It could be about anything; love, life, death, happiness, sadness, work, friendship, etc. The quotes may or may not be from a movie.
If you have heard some kind of quote that really inspired you in some way, please share. I promise to rate! Thanks!

It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more." - Erica Jong.

there are
6,470,818,671
people in the world.
some are running scared, some are coming home.
some tell lies to make it through the day, others are just not facing the truth, some are evil men, at war with good, and some are good, struggling with evil.
six billion people in the world,
six billion souls.
And sometimes, all you need is one.

ashlynn answered Tuesday June 19 2007, 9:59 pm: This is my fave quote of all time!!
I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.

I said that. I had to write a story for my creative writing class and it just came to me. Hopefully that's how it was. I don't think I heard it anywhere and just remembered.
we walk around talking to complete strangers
laugh for absolutely no reason at all;
have stupid fights that are over in ten minutes;
attempt to dance and sing like they do in the music videos;
have a billion"you-had-to-be-there" times;
gang up in the bitch that has a problem with one of us;
make fun of eachother when we walk into stuff;
act like we're all on crack;
and no matter what happens we're always there for eachother through good times and bad.
^I'm not sure who said it, sorry.
When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already BETTER than them anyways...
Marilyn Monroe
"When I was 4 years old, they tried to test my IQ.
They showed me this picture of 3 oranges and a pear.
They asked me which one was different and did not belong.
They taught me different was wrong."
- Ani DiFranco -
"Hard work is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration" I don't remember who said it, but it's some famous guy. They mention that quote in a few movies I've seen. (Unfortunately none come to mind)
That's about it for now. There's a quote on my column about not being the perfect girl and liking my imperfections - that one is good too! [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]

epicadvice answered Tuesday June 19 2007, 9:22 pm: my favorite quote is;
"life is too short to be anything but happy.
so; kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love deeply, take chances, give everything, have no regrets.
forget the past, but not the memories."
