'Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that who cares?... He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!'

"When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone." - Tennessee Williams

And this entire song: Damien Rice - Cannonball

“I reject your reality and substitute my own� ~~Adam Savage (MythBusters)

"Nothing tastes as good, as being thin feels"

not sure who~

Ooh, I love that one, classychica. I don't think I've heard it before. I'm a quote whore. There's too many...and song lyrics too, especially from Modest Mouse. This is my absolute favorite, I think: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Ghandi

this was on an add on the tv, i haveno idea who wrote it. "when was the last time you did something for the first time?"

If 31 Octal = 25 Decimal, Then 31 Oct = 25 Dec, Therefore Halloween = Christmas.

-Issac Asimov

I have so many that I really love:

"The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of."--Blaise Pascal

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."--Anonymous

"You've got to jump off of cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down."--Ray Bradbury

"We are so accustomed to disguising ourselves to others that we end up disguising ourselves to ourselves."--La Rochefoucault

"Action without thought is a form of insanity. Thought without action is a crime."--Albert Einstein

"Religion is for those who are afraid to go to hell; spirituality is for those who have already been there and back."--Bonnie Raitt

"When you're standing on the edge of nowhere, there's only one way up, so your heart's gotta go there."--Cher, "Song for the Lonely"

"You've got to learn to laugh. It's the way to true love."--John Travolta in "Michael"

The definition of insanity is doing everything exactly the same way over and over, and expecting different results. (not sure who said it...also, this isn't my favorite quote, but I haven't absorbed my favorite into my memory yet...where's that madeline l'engle book...)
also, a myriad of Bible quotes, but I doubt you want me to start listing scriptures... there's just too many...

"doubt = don't" - Oprah

"be change you wish to see in the world" - Mathama Gandhi

ah, here's one: 'When the artist is truely the servant of the work, the work is better than the artist.' in Madeline L'Engle's book, 'walking on water.' There are so many great quotes in there, but most of them go with other parts of the book. I highly recomend this book!

In one of those signature lines some forums have I saw the following gems-

"Everytime I blink I have a tiny daydream"

"Wait, is this where I'm suppose to say something clever?"

I collect quotes and write them on my bathroom walls, since I can't afford wallpaper. My favorite is from "Faking it" by Jennifer Crusie "If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning!"

"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself." -D.H. Lawrence And, I've seen this on a paperweight, but I don't know who said it..."What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"

If only all the hands that reach could touch... unknown

simonjester, i love that! ("Wait, is this where I'm suppose to say something clever?") thinkin about putting it in my myspace signature! lol!

You may make free of it with my blessing, dreamerkins, I just wish I could remember where I saw it. Here are a few from Picasso that I like:

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality

And this one, which is my favorite:

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

ooooo! is that last one Madeline L'Engle? she talks alot about that in that book I mentioned...

Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Sarah Williams 'The Old Astronomer to His Pupil'

Wickett, that is beautiful! Thanks to classy for starting this place to post quotes. It's great!

"Only dead fish swim with the current". Painted on a store wall outside Chicago.

FarStarr, I love that one! It's going up on the wall.

Dreamerkins: I have always seen it attributed to Picasso, so I don't know.

well, maybe that's where she got it? who knows. she does talk alot on that theme in her book: walking on water, reflections on faith and art. (one of my favorite books!)
