Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Guard:(after being taken captive by Sam at the ISDF Building) Who are you?
Sam Fisher: I'm the good guy here to save your world.
Guard: I thought I was the good guy?
Sam Fisher: No, no - you're the side with the super secret underground base and I'm the guy who's trying to break in to the base which makes me the good guy.

Irving Lambert: Looks like there's an active alarm system...
Sam Fisher: Let me guess - three alarms and it's over?
Irving Lambert: Of course not! This is no video game, Fisher.

"You need to shower better. I don't." - University of Chicago fraternity guy I passed while I was returning from dinner after a fencing tournament. No idea what the context of that conversation was but I don't want to know.

"I like everything except the things I don't like." ~ My brother, when he was about 4 or 5 years old.

Never fear of committing mistakes because you'll never learn life if you avoid them

Quotations from the Internet are usually inaccurate.

I would like to challenge 1 million people to send me 1 dollar.

The problem I have
With haiku is that you just
Get started and then

Roy: "I wrote him a note, that should be the end of it."

Roy: "You're hysterical."

Okay, Adam Young had some great and/or extremely random quotes in a recent blog entry, and they immediately leaped onto my favorites list...

"If you stop fearing the Lord, you will stop fearing SIN. And when that happens, everything you deem unthinkable suddenly becomes tolerable, passable, admirable, moral, legal, and even applaudable." (wow. That is all I can say.)

"...I feel like getting married and knowing that she saved herself for me, and I for her. And God kept her safe and sound and secure for me while I was off flying and scuba diving and she was off dreaming and singing and blushing."

"I had you all figured out until your voice echoed through the alley and bounced off my bedroom window."

"I built you a sandcastle because you’re a princess but I tore it down because I’m a loser."

"I don’t know what to do. Eat potato salad, I suppose." (This one cracks me up because it makes no sense! )

Now, some other more recent favorites...

"Sustenance for the sanity!" - The Rose-Tree Dryad (we were talking about books in chat. )

"That is a non-blinking object." - Dee, after having a staring contest with my foot.

"You're embarrassing." "I excel at embarrassing." - (Elsie and myself, respectively. )

You will find me either practicing my cello or drinking Green tea. ~ One of my best friends.

"Anything worth doing is worth doing badly."

--G.K. Chesterton

"You catch me like a thief in the night
You hold me when I put up a fight
You chase me when I run from Your light
Because You love, You won’t give up
‘Til my heart is stolen
‘Til my heart is stolen away"
from Stolen by Brandon Heath

"Sing your song to me
Oh, there’s no greater thing
Than to listen to the sound of your voice
When I hear your song
I want to sing along
And listen to the sound of your voice
The sound of your voice"
from Sound of Your Voice by Mac Powell and Mark Lee

"Put aside the ranger. Become who you were born to be."
-Elrond, LOTR, RotK (movie)

"When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -C.S. Lewis

"I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday." -Eleanor Roosevelt

"The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me." -Donald Miller

"Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you, but not in one ahead." -Bill McGlashen

I guess this is the best place to ask this...

I really like this C. S. Lewis quote "Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere." I've never come across it in any of his books or essays of his I've read so I was just wondering if anyone knows where this quote is from.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting." -- E. E. Cummings (My all-time favorite quote)

"Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things—trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Supose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that's a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play-world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia." -- Puddleglum from the Chronicles of Narnia (My second favorite quote ever)

"Writers are both awake and dreaming. They have to pay attention--to be mindful of to all the small things in life, the details, whether ordinary or wonderful or terrible. Then they dream of what they can turn those details into. And if your life gets really difficult there are two things you can do. You can force yourself to see people at a distance, like someone in a story. Then they'll lose their power over you. Or you can make up something better and escape to it." -Cecily, "Awake and Dreaming" by Kit Pearson.

"The fact that Coldplay is one of the top bands in the world proves that there are still signs of intelligent life on our planet." - Me back in 2008. (It still holds true, btw. )

I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
Nichole Nordeman-'Legacy'

"It does not do to dwell in dreams and forget to live." - Alvis Dumbledore

"I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won or lost a dozen fortunes, killed many men, and loved only one woman, with a passion a flea like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am."
-Robert Duvall as Hub in Secondhand Lions (This is one of my all time favorite movie quotes.)

"I've always feared that you would become that which you fought against. You walk the edge of that abyss every night, but you haven't fallen in and I thank Heaven for that." Alfred to Bruce Wayne in that one awesome Batman Animated movie.

"I am haunted by humans." The last line of The Book Thief.

And, most recently:

"Keep your hands off my ice cream. Sincerely, Braceface." From a note my sister put on top of the chocolate ice-cream carton.

I hope this doesn't offend anyone but the quote is very true.
