I'm maybe strange, but I love quotes...lyrics...etc. Just words that really have meaning to you, or stick in your head. What are some of your favorite quotes, lyrics, or even lines from books/movies? They don't have to be animal related. Most of these were probably my former signature quotes, or quotes on yahoo...
I need to start like an entire archive here, but here's a few of mine....
WOLVES/ANIMALS
This is from a book called "The Loop." I think I left out the names of the people talking, etc. but I just love the words here. Especially the last line.
"What is it, do you think, about these animals, that makes people hate them so much?"
"About wolves? I don't know. Maybe they're too much like us. We look at them and see ourselves. Loving, caring, social creatures who also happen to be terrific killers."
"Maybe it's envy too."
"Of what?"
"That they're still part of nature and we've forgotten how to be."
"To look into the eyes of the wolf is to see your soul... just be prepared for what
you may see."~~unknown
""The Strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the Strength of the Wolf is the Pack."~~Rudyard Kipling
"If you take a dog which is starving and feed him and make him prosperous, that dog will not bite you. This is the primary difference between a dog and a man."
- Mark Twain
"To his dog, every man is King;
hence the constant popularity of dogs."
LYRICS
Ok the next will all be U2 lyrics...I admit I may be obsessed, but I still think they have great lyrics...and well I could come up with a lot more then this but I've only been listening to a couple of cds today.......and I could come up with lyrics by a dozen other artists too...
(Kite) "Life should be fragrant
Roof top to the basement"
(Stuck in a moment) "And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass "
(Zoo Station) "Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass"
(One)
"One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One"
(The Fly)
"It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief"
(Summer Rain) you can see my other favorite quote from this song in my siggy
"When you stop seeing beauty
You start growing old
The lines on your face
Are a map to your soul
When you stop taking chances
You'll stay where you sit
You won't live any longer
But it'll feel like it"
OK stopping with the U2 lyrics or I'll be here all night!
VARIOUS...
Homer Simpson: "What are you gonna do? Release the dogs?! Or the bees?! Or dogs with bees in their mouth so that when they bark
they shoot bees at you?"
Aww crap I'm too tired to think of anything else.......there's some sort of storage bin at the back of my head that stores little quotes that come into my mind a lot.....everything reminds me of a song or movie..........but unfortunately that little storage bin has just decided to shut down for the night. There's other lines from books and movies that I have but I can't seem to find them in my head here lol....there was something I remembered when reading The Lord of the Rings but I'm not reading it all again to find it, heh.
I'll have to go find more on the net, I need to make a quote archive on my computer.
