    Quotes/Lyrics/Words

    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.

    My favorite lyrics and song that means something to me.... are the following.. i check it ahead of time to make sure theirs no bad words or sexuality in it... sorry its really long...

    They just gave up on our entire generation
    So we were all pushed to the side cuz we didn’t see the world through our teachers eyes
    When all we needed was a little bit of motivation
    But because we wore our pants saggin’ y’all labelled us gangstas
    And said we wasn’t worth the time

    There are so many things I never asked you
    There are so many things I still don’t know
    There are so many things you never told me
    And still so many things that I will never know
    and why, cuz I went to City High

    A school with more drop outs than sign-ups at registration
    And the pregnancy rate is at an all-time high, we all know why
    Now you would think the classroom’s the place for mental stimulation
    But it’s some brothers outside sellin’ that stuff, that’ll really stimulate your mind, (talk about gettin’ high)

    There are so many things you never showed me,
    There are too many things you let slip by,
    How can I face a world that doesn’t know me
    A world that doesn’t care whether I live or die,
    And why, cuz I go to City High

    So, We don’t need your education
    We don’t want no pacifier
    We are the leaders of your nation
    We’re gonna make sure the world survives
    There ain’t no justice there’s just us
    What happened to the meaning of “in God we trust”
    So as we get older and our children grow up
    We ain’t gonna teach them what y’all showed us

    There’s too many babies dyin’ before they’re born (Lord ain’t that the truth)
    Too many young ladies cryin’ with a daddy in the house but not a father in the home (now y’all know there’s a difference)
    And what about all our young soldiers being led astray (by this negative music)
    What happened to the Isaac Hayes, and the Curtis Mayfield’s and all the Marvin Gayes?
    Man we really need ‘em today

    And there were so many things that needed explaining
    But you said it was too late for me to learn
    You were suppose to be my shelter when it was rainin’
    But instead you left me out here all alone, so I gotta make it on my own

    We don’t need your education
    We don’t want no pacifier
    We are the leaders of your nation
    We’re gonna make sure the world survives
    There ain’t no justice there’s just us
    What happened to the meaning of “in God we trust”
    So as we get older and our children grow up
    We ain’t gonna teach them what y’all showed us

    For people who did believe, what we could do to change our future, you knew the world was in our hands, help build them strong so they can withstand, all the pressures, all the war, all the prejudice, and the others who were sure we couldn’t fight the stress in life, for those of you who didn’t believe us, listen to my words for you, listen to your children sing to you

    We don’t need your education
    We don’t want no pacifier
    We are the leaders of your nation
    We’re gonna make sure the world survives
    There ain’t no justice there’s just us
    What happened to the meaning of “in God we trust”
    So as we get older and our children grow up
    We ain’t gonna teach them what y’all showed us



    It's called City High Anthem by City High.

    i like the part that says "just because we wore our pants saggin yall labled us gangsters"...... I get dirty loks from people allllll the time because i wear somewhat baggy clothes.

    ~Kay, Athena, Ace, Kiara, Mufasa, & Alice!
    "So baby take a axe to your makeup kit
    Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements
    Love with all your hearts and never forget
    How good it feels to be alive
    And strive for your desire"

    -rx bandits

    My mom has a magnet that says:

    "Raising kids is like being pecked to death by a chicken"

    LOL!

    I gave that to her for mother's day. That counts as an animal related quote, right?
    ~Kimmy, Zam, Logan, Raptor, Nimrod, Mei, Jasper, Esme, & Lucy Inara
    RIP Kia, Chipper, Morla, & June
