My commeriserations if this thread has already been done before. As the title aptly suggests, this is the thread for awesome quotes.

In the world, there are deviations from the right path: Christianity and Judaism. Dollars have been devoted to the propagation of these deviations. There are also false claims that these religions will save mankind. But Islam is the only religion that can save mankind

 

Mahmoud Admadinejad

 

Nuclear Weapons are so Twentieth Century

 

Mahmoud Admadinejad

The animals outside looked from the pigs to the humans; from the humans to the pigs; then from the pigs to the humans again. But already it was impossible to say which was which.

I can wake up tomorrow morning and think: I didn't make that film. But Guy Ritchie has to wake up and think: I made Revolver.

 

If you paid to see Norbit, look deep inside yourself. Look deep inside yourself and take the same amount of money you paid to see that movie and give it to a good cause because believe me, you're karmically unbalanced if you paid to see that film.

 

(On Fred Claus)

Demonstrates that Christmas has been overtaken by Satan and he and his minions are slowly planning attack on all western culture and we are going to drop down into the bowels of Hades because of films like this.

It's possessed by the devil. Literally. This is an evil film.

Even though I'm not a Man Utd fan, that commentary never fails to raise the hairs on the back my neck.

 

I'm a firm believer that if we score a goal, then the other team have to score two to win.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

 

Time to die.

 

Get away from her, you *bitch!*

Newt: Are we gonna sleep all the way home?

Ripley: All the way home.

Newt: Can I dream?

Ripley: Yes, honey. I think we both can.

 

How are you supposed to know?! Fucking men like you built the hydrogen bomb. Men like you thought it up. You think you're so creative. You don't know what it's like to really create something; to create a life; to feel it growing inside you. All you know how to create is death!

 

In a musical, nothing dreadful ever happens.
Selma: You like the movies, don't you?

Bill Houston: I love the movies. I just love the musicals.

Selma: But isn't it annoying when they do the last song in the films?

Bill Houston: Why?

Selma: Because you just know when it goes really big... and the camera goes like out of the roof... and you just know it's going to end. I hate that. I would leave just after the next to last song... and the film would just go on forever.

 

 

Couldn't find the exact one from DitD, but that's the gist, she repeats it a few times.

If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.

"I Am Lightning, the rain transformed."

- Raiden, MGS4

 

I have always found that mercy bears richer fruit than strict justice.

That somebody loved me.

No hope, no harm,

Man—every man—is an end in himself, not the means to the ends of others.

Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty... I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led diffcult lives and led them well.

Those who speak of love most promiscuously are the ones who've never felt it. They make some sort of feeble stew out of sympathy, compassion, contempt and general indifference, and they call it love.

- Gail Wynand

 

 

 

To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That’s what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul - would you understand why that is much harder?

- Howard Roark

 

Every form of happiness is private. Our greatest memories are personal, self-motivated, not to be touched. The things which are sacred or precious to us are the things we withdraw from promiscuous sharing.

Right, there are a lot of Einstein's quotes that I like, so I've looked some of them up:

 

Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.

 

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

 

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

 

If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

 

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity.

I don't really have any quotes that I can think of on the spot. There are a few though... I know there is. But they only come when they... come. I guess.

 

I like Woody Allen though.

 

"My one regret in life is that I am not someone else."

 

Oh, just thought of one. I really like this, by Bill Hicks:

 

"The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride...” But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. Jesus - murdered; Martin Luther King - murdered; Malcolm X - murdered; Gandhi - murdered; John Lennon - murdered; Reagan... wounded. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."

 

Except no one ever quotes it properly or fully, so let's take a watch.
