[Fandango 1,440]

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a

precious plant. You can't just accept it and

leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going

to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering

it. You've got to really look after it and

nurture it.

John Lennon

We do not inherit the world from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children (my email siggie... i think its a Native American saying)

We don't have a lot of time on this earth! We weren't meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day... filling out useless forms... and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements. (Office Space)

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. (Helen Keller)

You don't look up truthiness in a book, you look it up in your gut. (Stephen Colbert)

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. (Maya Angelou)

He had read somewhere that the Eskimos had over two hundred different words for snow, without which their conversation would probably have got very monotonous. So they would distinguish between thin snow and thick snow, light snow and heavy snow, sludgy snow, brittle snow, snow that came in flurries, snow that came in drifts, snow that came in on the bottom of your neighbour's boots all over your nice clean igloo floor, the snows of winter, the snows of spring, the snows you remember from your childhood that were so much better than any of your modern snow, fine snow, feathery snow, hill snow, valley snow, snow that falls in the morning, snow that falls at night, snow that falls all of a sudden just when you were going out fishing, and snow that despite all your efforts to train them, the huskies have pissed on. (Douglas Adams)

in certain men, digestion and sex absorb the vital force... the stronger these are, the individual is so much weaker... ~Emerson

Well I found one on HERE, VJ, in someone's sig and Im sorry i dont remember who it was but I thought it was great

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO HOO! What a ride!"

I almost spilled my plate of potato chips on the floor when I read this because it reminded me instantly of something by Yoda I had quoted to my husband several times in the past whenever he dithered on things that needed to be done: "Do or do not ... there is no try."

From my fave shows Sex & The City:

"I admit it's tempting to wish for the perfect boss, the perfect parent or the perfect outfit. But maybe the best any of us can do is not quit, play the hand we've been dealt and accessorize what we've got." - Carrie Bradshaw

"I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet." - Carrie Bradshaw

"Adam: Come on, give me a little BJ, up and down a couple times, you're done, it's easy!

Samantha: Easy? You men have no idea what we're dealing with down there. Teeth placement, and jaw stress, and suction, and gag reflex, and all the while bobbing up and down, moaning and trying to breathe through our noses. Easy? Honey, they don't call it a job for nothin'! - Samantha

"A man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read at all." - Twain

" The best way to think 'outside the box' is to not create a box in the first place."

" You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else." - Chuck Palahniuk

"The Republican National Committee announced that the Republican Party is changing its emblem from an elephant to a condom. The National Chairman explained that the condom more clearly reflects the party's stance today because a condom accepts inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you are actually being screwed." ( I just thought this one was clever - I am NOT attempting to attack anyone's political beliefs here!)

"A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him." - George Orwell

"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals." - George Orwell

I love pretty much anything from Orwell.
