"I guess if I wasn't myself then I'd be susceptible to my own charms " -Anglorfin, in the Self-hate thread. Taken out of context, but still funny.

This really cracked me up

Quote:

I read some of the letters and some of the manuscripts from the trial.

But I also saw the movie. I put my faith in Hollywood, there for I stand behind my statement.

Not really a quote but none the less...

There's this commercial based in S.D. and these guys have guns on the prairie, and the camara is on a prairie dog, the dog gets shot and then you hear... "Another one bites the dust"

It's funny.

Quote:

Consider orang-utans.

In all the worlds graced by their presence, it is suspected that they can talk but choose not to do so in case humans put them to work, possibly in the television industry. In fact they can talk. It's just that they talk in Orang-utan. Humans are only capable of listening in Bewilderment.

Sara: "These are my turtles."
Jeremy: "Whoa! They're big!"
Sara: "I've had them for over a year. Their names are 'Peaches' and 'Mordac, Lord of Unholy Fury'. They're the same age, but I bought them at different times of the month."

Jeremy: "Clearly."

Here is another favorite of mine

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, for they may act their dream with eyes open and make it possible!"
-T.E. Lawrence

One more Pratchett-quote, and I'll stop bothering you:

"Racism was not a problem on the Discworld, because -- what with trolls and dwarfs and so on -- speciesism was more interesting. Black and white lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green."
-Pratchett

Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh. Forgive me, fairest of all males of Entmoot...Back down, all ye other wannabe fairest males! Dunedain is the fairest!" --Linaewen
